Sarah Silverman is once again using her platform to call out antisemitism—in the world and, perhaps, even in her own act.
monologue, Silverman acknowledged that most people watching the monologue did not come away hating Jewish people—“because they were busy laughing at all the other stuff, and the brilliant stuff.” While some of Chappelle’s jokes were “hilarious,” Silverman said, “that’s what made the antisemitism in it so scary. It bolstered it.” She likened the phenomenon to the game two truths and a lie—in which the antisemitic narrative embedded within the jokes serves as the lie.
During her special, Silverman theorizes that perhaps she’s speaking out so much on her podcast “because there’s been such a rise in antisemitism.” She explains, “It’s like if you go, ‘My mom’s a bitch,’ and your friend goes, ‘Yeah, your mom’s a fucking bitch.’ And you’re like, ‘What did you say about my mom?’”
At the same time, she reveals that her boyfriend has pointed out that her own stand-up includes punchlines that boil down to “Jews are gross; Jews have diarrhea.” “I’m selling out my culture for laughs,” Silverman says. “I mean, if you think about it, what could be more authentically Jewish? I’m sorry; I can’t help it. It just makes me so much money.”
In a perfect closing button to the bit, the comedian adds that it’s not her audience’s problem to deal with—“this is my ‘kampf’ to deal with on ‘mein’ time.”
