Well, it was slated to start at 8, but at 8:50 pm ET, the countdown clock on the livestream says the “Big Live Comedy Show” won’t be starting for another 10 minutes. The livestream has been on for an hour now– all showing “The Show Before the Show.” Presumably, that, as well as what follows, will be archived for those of you who want to go back and watch it later. But aside from this being a public service announcement for fans trying to watch the much ballyhooed event, we’re also alerting fans that Sarah was interviewed during “The Show Before the Show.” CLICK HERE to watch her interview.

USA Today on May 17 :
“Very few people make me laugh. Louis C.K. Sarah Silverman. My 8-year-old grandson, Henry, loves her more than anything as Vanellope in Wreck-It Ralph. Some movies — the first Hangover was unusual and funny. Judd Apatow, all his stuff. Steve Carell.”
UPDATE: In David Bianculli’s NPR radio interview with Mel Brooks (April 20), the comedian again expressed admiration for Sarah Silverman. Here’s what he said when citing Wreck-It Ralph as the most recent movie he and Carl Reiner watched together and laughed a lot at:
“I think Wreck-It Ralph– we saw the cartoon. We liked it, with John C. Reilly playing Ralph. And we just loved Penelope (sic) played by Sarah Silverman. She’s glorious. And generally she’s one of the few new– there’s Amy Schumer who’s come along too, who’s wonderful. I mean, but they’re– There are people that come along who are really good and funny– and Silverman was– we both love her.”
