I certainly can't explain it, particularly given her claim to fame is a voice acting part in "Wreck it Ralph".
shareShe's funny and an okay actress. She was really hot when she was young and still good looking.
shareA) She was never truly hot. At her very best, she was just an average looking woman.
B) She most definitely is not funny, as evidenced by her career. She never once sold out a comedy venue and her pinnacle moment - "Jesus is Magic" was awful. No one talks about it now, and for good reason.
C} pretty much anyone can be an okay actor. It isn't nearly as hard as being "okay" at nuclear physics.
The point I was trying to make without actually saying it is she got where she is on connections, and not talent.
No, she's famous because she's a very acerbic female Jewish comedian. She's earned it. I think she has a courage and I respect her, even with the swipes she takes at gentiles.
Here's an episode of Bill Maher where Silverman is lambasted by some Asian rights idiot for using the word "chink" in a joke:

After watching that I love her.
She is nasty and unfunny. The OP is right. Why is she famous?
"After watching that I love her."
As I recall you have made some anti-Asian statements in the past. A long time ago on the IMDB Soapbox. Especially about Chinese people. If you are the poster I think you are. The same avatar.
Does she like homosexuals?
If not, that is too bad for you isn't it?
The question of her fame has already been answered and justified. She's the perfect epitome of every sarcastic nasty Jewish woman who ever lived.
If you can watch that humorless pedantic Asian asshole and believe he said anything worth remembering, you're an idiot.
As for the Chinese, I worked for a Taiwanese corporation for 10+ years. Yes, I've said it's a very conformist authoritarian culture which devalues its own people. And the People's Republic of China is a cancer on the earth.
But I also have plenty of Taiwanese friends from that job whom I still know and love.
I laugh at fag jokes. I don't give a rat's ass what some comedian thinks of gay people as long as he's funny.
I thought you suggested to me this clip would be funny. it wasn't.
shareNo, I suggested it because she makes the case that we need to protect artistic freedom from pedantic cunts like that Asian man.
shareI gave your opinion serious thought. I consider myself to be a fan of great comedians (e.g. Louis C.K., Bill Burr, Bernie Mac, Sam Kinnison, Patrice O'Neal, Mitch Hedburg, Eddie Murphy, etc.), but I refuse to swallow what Hollywood tries to tell me who is funny (e.g. Tyg Nattaro, Aziz Ansari, Amy Schumer, Margaret Cho, Sarah Silverman)
She had one good bit on Comedy Central roasts (someone probably wrote the jokes for her) and she has sucked ever since. "Jesus is Magic" was one of the worst things put on television ever.
I don't care who she is related to or who she knows in Hollywood. She is not funny.
She's acerbic. She's a bit of a Jewish supremacist. She mocks Christianity. So of course, many non-Jews take offense.
Frankly I never liked her much until I saw her defend racially offensive jokes on that Maher segment.
I don't know if I find her all that funny. But hers is an important voice.
She was ahight in the dogs and cats movie.
Oh wait that was that other female comedian.
How to say you know nothing about Sarah Silverman without saying it.
shareDamn I'd love to fuck her. Right as I'm cumming I'd start screaming TRUMP 2024 just to piss the libtard off!
