Sarah Silverman Posts Failed NBC Pilot on Facebook
Sarah Silverman, stand-up comedienne and writer, recently posted her failed NBC pilot, Susan 313 on her YouTube page, after the pilot's owner, 20th Century Fox, gave her the go ahead.
Silverman, 42, voices the intro to the singular episode, and gives a bit of background about the pilot, and also clarifies that she isn't upset that the show wasn't picked up, instead she admits that NBC "probably did the right thing." Silverman's character Susan is a woman who has just concluded a ten-year relationship with her boyfriend, and is moving back into her old apartment.
Produced by 20th Century Fox, and co-produced and developed by Ron Howard's Imagine TV, Susan 313 co-starred Tig Notaro, June Diane Raphael and Harris Wittels, and also featured a cameo appearance by Jeff Goldblum as Susan's ex-boyfriend.
Silverman's long comedic career began twenty years ago, and she gained a following from devising her own brand of black and blue comedy, political satire, and addressing social taboos, such as racism, and ironically supporting them. She has appeared as a supporting character in a number of Hollywood films, and aside from guest appearances, she's also had her own series, The Sarah Silverman Project, from 2007 to 2010.
We Are Miracle, Silverman's first HBO special, will air on November 23.
