Sarah Silverman: Postmortem

As someone who recently lost my mom, I was intrigued by the title of this new show by an old favorite. As someone who loves to laugh, I’m dying for a way to find death funny. Norm MacDonald did it best in my opinion, but his frequent colleague Sarah Silverman is certainly up to the task as someone who never shies from tough topics (bedwetting, racism, the Holocaust). In 2023, she lost both parents, with mom Janice dying from pancreatic cancer (just like mine), followed two weeks later by her dad, Donald. No pressure or anything, but my very laughs depend on finding a way to make that hilarious! I think she can do it. – Kat McNevins
