We've been keeping an eye on Sarah Silverman ever since she debuted as a part-time cast member on Saturday Night Live in 1993. In one memorable skit, she played a Deadhead. But Silverman was not brought back for the next season - a huge mistake on the part of Lorne Michaels. It's like trading a rookie who goes on to win the MVP with another team.

Born on Dec. 1, 1970 in Bedford, New Hampshire, Silverman has appeared in various TV shows (Greg the Bunny, Mr. Show with Bob and David, The Larry Sanders Show) and movies (The School of Rock, School for Scoundrels, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With). In 2005, Liam Lynch's Jesus Is Magic combined her stand-up act with muscal skits. Silverman famously takes a big bong hit backstage at the end of the movie and then kisses herself in the mirror. 

In 2006, she signed with Comedy Central to co-write and star in The Sarah Silverman Program. Marijuana pops up regularly on the show; the second season kicked off with "High, It's Sarah" in which Sarah and Brian (Brian Posehn) smoked pot and protested the corporate takeover of just about everything. "Marijuana really expands your mind," she declared.

In TSSP's premiere episiode, Silverman chugged cough syrup.

In a 2010 episode, she delivered this classic line: "It's always 420 somewhere, right?"

On The View, Silverman joked about "weed" with Barbara Walters, who wanted to know about her relationship with former boyfriend, late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel.

In a deleted scene from Dinner for Five, she smoked a joint.

Silverman was nominated for a 2009 Emmy in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category.

Her book, The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption and Pee, came out on 4/20.

She's currently dating TV writer Alec Sulkin (Family Guy, The Cleveland Show).
