Here are additional details about Sarah’s role in the April 5 Friar’s Club roast of Jack Black.

This account from cinemaretro.com reveals an Oliver Platt joke, and places many of the previously reported zingers in context:

“It’s unusual for Sarah Silverman to be at table with comedians,” [Roastmaster Bob] Saget said introducing her, “she’s usually under a table jerking them off.” “Anyone who’s seen Bob do comedy knows it’s nothing like Full House,” Silverman replied. “He played a sweet dad in Full House, and now plays a lousy comedian for a half-full house.” Turning to the corpulent actor Oliver Platt, she said: “you’re distantly related to Princess Diana, which means that bulimia is not an inherited trait.

“There are so many fossils here, I thought that Ben Stiller was shooting another Night at the Museum sequel,” Silverman said. Turning to Lewis, she said: “The last person who thought you were funny in France just died. Jerry Lewis doesn’t think that women are funny and now no one thinks Jerry Lewis is funny.”

“Jack Black is very shy- he prefers to be left alone- that’s why he made Nacho Libre … School of Rock changed my life- because you can’t get rid of anal warts.  Jack is so fat, his last movie was shot by Google Earth. He’s not starved for attention, just onion rings.”

From vulture.com come more of Sarah’s lines from the Jack Black roast:

“I worked with Jack on the movie School of Rock, and being on that set with him…changed my life forever– because you can’t get rid of anal warts.”

“Speaking of asshole and armpits, Amy Schumer is here. Her new show is called Inside Amy Schumer, which is brilliant; it’s got a double meaning, like inside her head, and sexually, like inside her filthy asshole. She’s great. Her last special took a lot of balls, just like her face.”

Here’s the Wonderbra line in context, which makes it funnier than the previous ways media reported it:
“Jack is so fat, his last movie was shot by Google Earth. He went on Jenny Craig, she suffocated to death. John Mayer wrote one of his most famous songs about Jack Black: ‘Your Body Needs a Wonderbra.’ Unlike most comedians, Jack is not starved for attention— just onion rings.”

And the way Sarah continued roasters’ ridicule of Al Roker’s pooping his pants revelation:
“Kyle Gass and Jack Black — amazing musicians — and Bob already touched on this, but instead of Tenacious D, they were going to call themselves Black Gass, but that was already taken by Al Roker’s pants. I know, I know, these Roker jokes have already jumped the shart.”

     Reports are out about the barbs of Sarah (and others) at the Friar’s Club Jack Black roast last night.  The most often quoted Sarah jabs at Black have been this pair: “Jack is a really shy guy. He really prefers to be left alone. Which is why he made Nacho Libre.  John Mayer wrote one of his most famous songs about Jack Black: ‘Your Body Needs a Wonderbra.’”
.     Sarah skewered others present with as much zest.  Donna Freydkin at USA Today called Sarah, “the show-stealer,” for the way she “took legendary comic Jerry Lewis to task for his comments that women don’t make good comedians: ‘Jerry, France called. The last person who thinks you’re funny just died,’ she said on stage, referring to the Legion of Honor medal awarded to Lewis by that country in 2006. [She asserted,]‘Jerry doesn’t think women are funny and nobody thinks Jerry is funny.’”  And of Bob Saget, she suggested, “Anyone who’s seen Bob’s stand-up knows it’s nothing like Full House. He played a sweet dad for Full House; he plays a terrible comedian for a half-full house.”
.     The roasters were not shy of giving back to Sarah. Bob Saget said, “Sarah has been like a daughter to me. Never fucked her.” And Oliver Platt declared, “I’m not a comedian. I hate it when these things get mean. I would never do something like call Sarah Silverman an (expletive).” So far, the expletive has not appeared in print.

Sarah will be one of the roasters on the dais of the New York Hilton ballroom on April 5 when the Friars Club roasts actor-comedian-musician Jack Black.  (This comes to us via an article about the actor who won the March 15 Friar’s Club “So You Think You Can Roast” competition; his prize is the privilege of also being one of the Jack Black roasters.)
