Playing Hardball! Sarah Silverman Show May Be Going Off-Air Due To Budget Woes
Filed under: TV News > Sarah Silverman
The Sarah Silverman Show may be no more if Comedy Central doesn't pony up some cash!
Going into its third season, the WGA Award-nominated show saw its show budget cut by 20% by the cable network.
Comedy Central cited the crap economic times as the reason for the funding slash.
Insiders say the series' budget for season three is $850,000, down from the $1.1 million an episode for the show's second season.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, late last week, Silverman, on behalf of the executive producers, told the net that they can't proceed with a third season without the money.
The news jolted the channel's bosses into action to find a budget compromise that would keep the show on the air.
Both sides continued their back-and-forth during the weekend.
People close to the negotiations are optimistic that a compromise will be reached today, Monday.

WHAT? Because she's got pidgeon toes?
This has nothing to do with Lady GaGa. You're slipping, fanboy.
HUH? A mil point one an epi?
WAAAAAAAAY too much.
Or perhaps because it sucked Ass!!!!!!!!!
Good! Shes a pig.
WTF!?! How does it cost over a million per episode? It's doesnt have that many sets, there isnt really any special effects, and it's only like 22 minutes. They should slash the price down to 850,000, that should be more than enough, unless all the money is going towards the actors.
I LOL'D
Good, anything else they do with their money will be better, this bitch just isn't funny

THIS BITCH IS HIDEOUS AND HER SHOW SUCKED RABID ASSHOLE!

Next mario….you fruittard…..
she's hot, nice rack
waxed eyebrows ~ she looks better..
Here is an idea, why doesn't somebody figure out why a show that looks like it is filmed in somebody's backyard with a video camera costs over a million dollars per episode.
Thank goodness, her show is ridiculous… I do not find her funny at all.
I didnt know that show was still on the air in the first place.
and what 'Budget woes'? didnt they film in peoples living rooms and on the sidewalk? That had to be the cheapest show on comedy central
i hope the entertainment industry doesn't buckle like the automotive.
She's f***ing Matt Damon.
Her show was cute and first and then got really lame-Bye Sarah-don't let the door hit yer sweet ass on the way out-Bitch!

UPDATE PEREZ DEAR!

……..
Her show stopped being funny.
bye, bye…..
Re: RedWingsFan – Hello! I agree!!!
The show sucked big time they should just cancel it
Good. She sucks. Save the money for John Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
she is an idiot!!!
nice ( . ) ( . ) 's
I thought the show sucked…
Can't understand why she is not doing a Chelsea Lately type show…seems like she would be perfect at ripping celebs a new asshole.
Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Keep her on–she's the only original talent out there. She's so different than all the reality crap and scripted sitcoms. I luv me some Sarah!!
I think she is offensive, but you like her show, right? What do you think about this?
Dad
"Group sales are down considerably," says one person close to the production, "and then you've got individual tickets that cost as much as $500 a piece. That's a lot of money to spend on an artist who isn't a sure bet right now."
Britney Spears has the audacity to sell tickets for $500 a piece? Oh noes. Homegirl was twirling on stage like a day shift stripper on ludes only a little more than a year ago. No, no, no.
"This is really her last chance."
Looks like Kevin Federline (once again!) is the big winner here. Regardless of how her tour does, K-Fed will reap a hard-earned $5, 000 a week just to chillax, scarf down Quiznos and sculpt his impressive physique
shitney
who the fuck watches that crap ass show anyways
I am saddened and appalled that anyone watches this ridiculous twat. She is disgusting, offensive, and obnoxious, but definitely not funny. Good riddance!
good, she is so NOT funny
THIS SHOW SUCKED ANYWAY. LOVED IT AT FIRST, BUT ITS BASICALLY "POOP! FART! ABORTION! I PUSH THE ENVALOPE, HAVE A CUTE PONYTAIL AND A HOT RACK! MY GAY FRIENDS ARE STONERS… PEE!"
that show is so lame. I don't understand why is was not taken of the air a couple years ago!
I think it's more likely that Sarah Silverman's show may be going off the air due to being disgusting and stupidly unfunny. Just a theory I've been working on.
sarah silvrman is not funny at all, especially after her incredibly inappropriate jokes about 9-11. im glad to see her go
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER, but the show aint that good. Her comedy act kicks the shit out of her show.
i'm glad… that show's terrible. she's not funny @ all, just stupid.
Karma time is soon to come to this bitch… she is talentless and not funny at all! She needs to dissapear for good!!! Poor idiotic bitch… remember how she had a chance to be "nice" to the world and she ruined it by bitchslapping Britney??? Who she thinks she is?? She really thought people will laugh with her and not at her??? The only reason why she is famous is because of her bf that's why she can't dump him already… poor sore loser!
Re: Productboy –
She doesn't like to do that type of comedy, actually.
Re: Kate27 –
She was famous long before she dated Jimmy Kimmel, moron.
Go suck Britney's dick some more. If you knew anything about Sarah Silverman, you would know she felt bad about that joke,
Re: Veuve Clicquot – Hahaha I know right? that, in my opinion, was the only funny thing she ever ever did.
Good, she is so annoying!
ew that show sucks and should never have been made. You've wasted enough money, comedy central!
Re: Spindoc – hahaha good plan
She…is …such…an…obnoxious..little…attn. whore…
Her Shtick was funny at first, but it has worn off. Show sux, it's time to bring in something new and different.
CC will never replace Dave, but keep trying…..I just won't hold my breath.
Haha couldn't have happened to a nicer person!
i wanna see her posed in lingerie. Somethig black and lacy. Maybe with a Nazi guard/model that she could tease alluringly in a concentration camp. He is gutsy and very pretty.
By "budget woes" do they mean "her show sucked and no one liked it?"
She's not funny at all.
Cant stand the show… hope they put something cool in her times slot!
good. that show was absolute bullshit
She's like not even funny!
Good! She Isn't even funny! How did she get her own show in the first place?!
I remember walking around Hollywood thinking, they could save alll this money on ads. and use it for something better because no one in their right mind would watch that shitty program.
It is very surprising that the network spends any money at all to make this show.
Silverman is a one trick pony….if you have seen one episode, you have seen them all. Comedy Central can spend the $850,000 on better fare.
good riddence that show blows ass hard core
