Sarah Silverman

Sarah Kate Silverman (born December 1, 1970) is an American stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. Silverman first rose to prominence for her brief stint as a writer and cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series ''Saturday Night Live'' during its 19th season between 1993 and 1994. She then starred in and produced ''The Sarah Silverman Program'', which ran from 2007 to 2010 on Comedy Central. For her work on the program, Silverman was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

She also acted in television projects such as ''Mr. Show'' and ''V.I.P.'' and starred in films, including ''Who's the Caboose?'' (1997), ''School of Rock'' (2003), ''Take This Waltz'' (2011), ''A Million Ways to Die in the West'' (2014), and ''Battle of the Sexes'' (2017). She also voiced Vanellope von Schweetz in ''Wreck-It Ralph'' (2012), and ''Ralph Breaks the Internet'' (2018). For her lead role in ''I Smile Back'' (2015) she was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award. She released an autobiography ''The Bedwetter'' in 2010 which she adapted into an off-Broadway musical in 2022.

Her comedy roles address social taboos and controversial topics, including racism, sexism, homophobia, politics, and religion, sometimes having her comic character endorse them in a satirical or deadpan fashion. During the 2016 United States presidential election, she became increasingly politically active; she initially campaigned for Bernie Sanders but later spoke in support of Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. She hosted the Hulu late-night talk show ''I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman'' from 2017 until late 2018. Provided by Wikipedia
