Emmy winner Sarah Silverman is as versatile of a performer as they come. Her repertoire includes everything from film and television, stand-up comedy, to iconic online videos.

She stars as the lead in the drama feature, I Smile Back, a film adaption of a novel by Amy Koppelman and was previously seen starring in Take This Waltz. In 2004 Silverman made an impressive splash with her concert film, Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic, which garnered major attention at the Toronto Film Festival, and she also received critical praise for her work on the documentary feature, The Aristocrats.

This marked Comedy Central’s first ever Emmy nomination in a scripted acting category. She also received a WGA nomination for her work on the show. Silverman won a Primetime Emmy in 2008 in the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics category for her musical collaboration with Matt Damon. In addition, she was honored with a Best Actress Webby Award for her online video “The Great Schlep.” She is now a part of JASH, a comedy collective on YouTube featuring original content by Silverman and friends.
