I’m really loving these [Nerdist Podcasts](http://www.nerdist.com/2011/01/nerdist-podcast-53-sarah-silverman/) but considered skipping this one because of the guest star, Sarah Silverman. For whatever reason, I’ve had a bad impression of her since watching the pilot of her show on Comedy Central a few years ago.

I don’t know what’s changed since that time but maybe I’ll have to give some of her stuff a try now. Any suggestions?

I’m enjoying her book, “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee”.

i find her “meh…” and the textbook definition of “funny, for a girl” even though her jokes don’t center around menstruation, babies, or bad boyfriends.

BTW if you like the Nerdist podcast, give WTF with Marc Maron a try.

I used to hate her, but after [“I Fucking Matt Damon”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myEVBOjagKE) she started to grow on me.

I know a lot of people say they hate her, but I’ve never understood that. But then, I’m good at the whole, “Cute girl saying shocking things” myself. I’m not hugely familiar with her work, but what I have seen of her, I do like. I’ve been meaning to read her book as well.
