A Great Image: Sarah Silverman Does Sasquatch

It ain’t Bobbi Fleckman, but the May 26-27th Sasquatch! Music Festival at The Gorge has announced its own hostess with the mostess: Sarah Silverman.

Sarah

I’m not sure what she’s gonna do while hosting, but I bet she’ll look good and make inappropriate jokes that some people who take themselves too seriously won’t enjoy. (Silverman joins Bjork, Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys, Spoon, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Neko Case, The Hold Steady, The Slip and many more).

Sasquatch! Music Festival is pleased to announce that Sarah Silverman is confirmed to host the 6th Annual Event. The LA-based comedienne/actor (The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central and the acclaimed 2005 film Jesus Is Magic) will appear at the festival both Saturday, May 26th and Sunday, May 27th at the Gorge Amphitheatre.

Silverman’s got many detractors, but I’m a big fan of her work. Last week’s episode of her new Comedy Central program featured a classic scene, including one of the better delivered lines of all-time, from Sarah to the staffers of her new AIDS Awareness foundation: “We have a chance to make change. If we can put a man on the moon, we can put a man with AIDS on the moon. And then someday, we can put everyone with AIDS on the moon. So who’s with me?” Fucking awesome.

  1. Saw Sarah Silverman at Sasquatch and wow I’ve never been so disappointed in seeing someone in person. Not only did the one or two jokes suck, but she literally only made one or two appearances before muttering the bands name that she didn’t know. If that was a joke, than that sucked too. I hope her only excuse is she was as fucked up on drugs as everyone else, because even been drunk as I was, I still didn’t find her the least bit funny. Did I mention she only made two appearances. I thought the point of a host was to entertain while they set up, which she didn’t do. What a waste of the the 20 thousand she was probably paid. I hope next year they re-invest that money in cheaper beer for everyone.

  2. I agree completely, I actually got there in time to see these two appearances, each of which sucked. Incredibly moronic and dull witted jokes. The only host I enjoyed listening to / entertained by was Michael Showalter, that guy from the television series “stella” he was funnier there than he ever was on tv, here’s to him.

  3. what the hell was her story? she showed up at 3:30 or something and then appearred on stage one more time and made some reference to “going doody”. i forgot she was even there. maybe she did too. was this a volunteering opportunity for her? did someone actually pay her?

  4. When Silverman came out to intro Manu Chao, I was up front and watched her read the band name off her hand because she didn’t bother to memorize it. It was at that point when I yelled “You f#ckin SUCK!”. I hope she heard me. Nevertheless she didn’t come back the next day.
