Twenty years ago Silverman had a short-lived run on the SNL.
The long time female comedian Sarah Silverman has aroused audiences with another great comedy routine in her latest appearance on Saturday Night Live with an epic monologue directed at her 20 year old self. Although she has been on SNL on the Studio 8H before, it was the comedians first time hosting the show.
Twenty years ago Silverman had a short-lived run on the SNL series, spending most of her screen time as a pretty, curious girl in the audience. In honor of her return a score later to the famous Studio 8H, Silverman gave an impressive and hilarious monologue to her former 20 year old self listing out five things she needed to know.
It hilariously began with “Ask the right questions,” as she improvised in her first act to have an audience member sit on her lap, longing for the times when she was carried, bathed and cared for. The addressing was particularly hilarious because her audience work as a twenty year old had her asking the comedians ridiculous questions like “why does the knee bend? what did you feed the dinosaurs?”
Her next act was, “Give it up to God,” paying homage to the comedians who have passed away with roasting of their greatness, including Richard Pryor, Joan Rivers, and Steve Jobs.
At number 3 she continued with “Forget the car fights.” In an Episode of “Forgotten TV Gems,” remembering the drama “Supportive Women,” seeing Cecily Strong slip powder into Sarah Silverman’s drink but it isn’t poison, rather a shot of immunity boosting Emergen-C. “Isn’t that weird? Women being nice and not hurtful to each other,.” exclaimed Silverman.
Her 4th advice giving revelation was “White People love camping,” In an attempt through a sketch she tries to address racial inequality, using a mock show “Whites” that pokes fun at the habits of its namesake, and suggests that an era of pejorative stereotypes is coming to an end.
The last but not least number 5 is “What happens in Amsterdam, Stays in Amsterdam.” Her sketch starts by Silverman getting picked up from the airport by her brother, immediately telling him that she’s cheated on her boyfriend Jeff while smoking hash in Amsterdam. Without realizing it Jeff, her parents and Adam Levine singing “She Will Be Loved,” pop up from the backseat for what was supposed to be a proposal. Adam Levine gets gets hit by a car, but all is resolved with a group trip to Pizza Hut. “There will be thin crust.”
