Emmy award-winner Sarah Silverman has one guarantee when her show returns for its third season with back-to-back episodes on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and Thursday, Oct. 9 at 9:30 p.m. on Comedy Central: There are a lot of shit jokes. Cerebral shit jokes!""
The famously crass comedian is returning to primetime TV with ""The Sarah Silverman Program,"" a show that has been called ""filthy,"" ""offensive"" and everything in between. Memorable plot lines from the first two seasons involve Silverman having sex with God and then trying to avoid him and ignore all his calls, joining a pro-life activist group until she realizes membership involves never having another abortion and investigating why dogs lick their own asses by licking a dog's ass.
But that's nothing compared to the plot lines explored in this newest season, Silverman promised.
""In the second episode, I sue Mongolia for rape, because Genghis Khan came in and raped all the Russian Jews in the 1200s,"" Silverman said. ""There's an episode where it turns out my dad is alive - he faked his death to follow the Celtics - and we end up forming a Lisa Loeb cover band called the Loeb Trotters.""
Although Silverman said she loves being the center of attention, the show also follows her sister Laura (played by her real sister), Laura's boyfriend Jay (Jay Johnston) and her gay best friends, hilariously played by comedians Brian Posehn and Steve Agee. According to Silverman, some of the best story lines belong to the supporting cast.
""Laura shaves her pubes, but it's heartbreaking, because her bush was her memory of our mother,"" Silverman said. ""Honestly, it's so sweet. Pubes with heart, that's how I would describe the show.""
Even when her show is off the air, Silverman is constantly making people laugh, whether she is singing ""I'm Fucking Matt Damon,"" her ode to cheating on Jimmy Kimmel that won her an Emmy, or making viral videos in support of Barack Obama, such as ""The Great Schlep,"" in which she urges teenagers to call or visit their Jewish grandparents in Florida and ask, or even threaten, them to vote for Obama.
""Every video I make is from my living room, and I'm starting to feel like Osama bin Laden,"" Silverman joked. ""I never leave my apartment and I make these videos that get distributed.""
Through her videos, Silverman hopes to inspire people - particularly young people - to become more active in improving the world.
""I think this new, younger generation has a danger of being really lazy, entitled dicks,"" she said. ""So I think this is an opportunity to get people involved in the world they live in. Put down the 'Halo 2' for two fucking seconds.""
Although she is very vocal about her support for Obama, Silverman becomes even more passionate when speaking about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
""She has charisma, which sucks. You can't stop watching her when she's talking,"" Silverman said. ""I hope that doesn't trick people. She charges women for rape kits! She's a fucking monster!""
Much like her viral videos, Silverman hopes her show will inspire people to think about the world in a different way. She explained, ""You can look at [the first episode] and say, 'This is just about diarrhea and wet dreams,' but to me the first episode is about corporate America creating problems and then marketing solutions.""
Whether or not she is serious is up to the viewer to decide, but Silverman remains excited about the return of her show.
""I know this is obnoxious to say, but this is the best season yet,"" she remarked. ""What can I say? Pubes with heart.""
