Dude, Harmon and Schrab finally got themselves a fucking show on the air?!!? and with Sarah Silverman?
Awesome. I wish this thing the best, all parties involved could make this great.
I agree with some of the 'schtick' sentiment, I hope the show won't rely solely on Silverman's solo standup style, and will be written for lasting comedy. A Mencia/Chapelle-style show of just Sarah Silverman doing the odd Sarah Silverman stand-up thing could get tiresome.
-In my mind, the fact that Harmon and Schrab are involved means it will be thoughtfully scripted and not just standup-centric.

Fantastic. She and Lisa Lampanelli make me piss my pants...

Other than them, female comedians usually aren't funny.
