She can go from saccharine to salty in the span of a few seconds, but former MTV Movie Awards host Sarah Silverman has nothing but good things to say about new host Mike Myers. No, really.
“He’s going to be great,” the world’s funniest woman told MTV News of Myers, who is hosting the irreverent awards show for the second time.
Silverman, of course, drew high praise for her wickedly mean-spirited — and totally hilarious — opening monologue, in which she riffed on everyone from Jack Nicholson to Paris Hilton. Too much work, the comedienne declared. Read more...
Alright, so my brain is about to shut off after a day of Oscar coverage, but I've just seen the best piece of comedic content of the day and sorry Jon Stewart, but it wasn't on the Oscars. Remember that awesome Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon video a few weeks back? Tonight on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Jimmy saw his girlfriend one and raised her ten-fold.
"I'm f*&king Ben Affleck" featured Ben Affleck of course, and detailed the heretofore unknown love affair between Kimmel and the Oscar-winning star of "Gigli." And it was brilliant, from start to finish. The start featured Brad Pitt and just when you thought it was winding down, everyone from Don Cheadle and Huey Lewis to Pete Wentz and Joan Jett, appearing in a "We Are the World"-style group ballad.

Like "Family Guy" before it, Matt Groening's fantastic animated series "Futurama" is returning. Beginning on November 27 and continuing into '08, Fox will launch four four feature-length films on DVD - all of which will also see later syndication on Comedy Central. The studio has now announced the plot synopsis for that first 11/27 release, entitled "Bender's Big Score," while also mentioning that Al Gore, Coolio and Sarah Silverman will be making guest appearances.

Forget the Oscars, the Emmys, or the Grammys, the toughest hosting gig in Hollywood is the MTV Movie Awards, which will air live for the first time ever this Sunday (8PM/7C). So what advice does two-time host Jimmy Fallon have for new emcee Sarah Silverman? None. "Sarah doesn't need my advice. She's awesome," the "Fever Pitch" star told MTV News. "If you've seen her stuff you know how great she is."
Fallon memorably co-hosted the irreverent awards show alongside "Spider-Man's" Kirsten Dunst in 2001 and by himself in 2005, spoofing some of the biggest names in show business with movie parodies of "Star Wars," "The DaVinci Code," and "Batman Begins"...ensuring that the all-star event was a must-see.
Fallon gushed that Silverman's mere presence means the same thing. "I will definitely be watching," he said.
In addition to Silverman, the show boasts appearances from Jessica Biel, Shia LaBeouf, Cameron Diaz, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jessica Alba. Also at the big show, Amy Winehouse will perform her international hit "Rehab," while Jay-Z and Rihanna will sing "Umbrella."
