Silverman wore blackface on the first season of her 2007-10 Comedy Central show for a sketch that she would later regret. Speaking recently on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Silverman said: “I recently was going to do a movie, a sweet part, then, at 11 p.m. the night before, they fired me because they saw a picture of me in blackface from that episode."
