Of course, in her loopy, taboo-breaking way, she always manages somehow to leave you laughing. But then you’d expect nothing less from a woman who sang to her boyfriend on national television that she was “F***ing Matt Damon.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you like Sarah’s television show \u003cem\u003eThe Sarah Silverman Program\u003c\/em\u003e, or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler’s \u003cem\u003eAre You There Vodka?
