More Sarah Silverman: first, her interview with the Village Voice, about her new Comedy Central series "The Sarah Silverman Program," explains what she means by "I think I'm the crapper and the dreamer." Then, a bit about her in LA Weekly reveals much about her sharp and challenging comedic viewpoint, including the observation that "she’s no longer the most transgressive, racism-spotlighting, shit-stirring Jewish comedian in the entertainment world." (That title is now held by Sasha Baron Cohen, AKA Borat.)

There's a new video up at Blerds, this one featuring Robert Buscemi explaining how to pack maximum humiliation into your next breakup. Take notes, girls! Sometimes a spoonful of sugar can just as easily be skipped.

Hugely talented Second City alum Alan Arkin has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Little Miss Sunshine. He'll have to best Jackie Earl Haley, Djimon Hounsou, Eddie Murphy, and Mark Wahlberg to waltz off with the little golden man, but given that he was nominated for Best Actor for his feature acting debut (1966's The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming), we have high hopes. Also, let's face it, it would rock for the Academy to start tipping its hat to comedy a bit more.
