Multiple outlets confirm that Sarah Silverman has landed a pilot order and a stand-up comedy special at HBO.
These projects are set to mark the comedienne’s return to the premium cable network after We Are Miracles aired in 2013. Her most recent and Emmy-nominated special, A Speck of Dust, streamed on Netflix.
Silverman explained that her late-night series will weigh in “on the mishigas of the week and taking live video calls,” she said Monday in a statement.
“I’m as passionate talking about my face-washing routine as I am talking about why billionaires cost us money,” she added. “Nothing’s off the table and nothing’s too high- or lowbrow for me. I mean — look at my face — I’m literally all brow.”
“Sarah is truly a comedic force of nature, and we’re so happy to have her back on HBO,” HBO Programming Executive VP Nina Rosenstein said.
According to Deadline, Silverman, Judd Apatow, and Amy Zvi serve as executive producers on the pilot.
