During a recent appearance on 'The Howard Stern Show', Sarah Silverman discussed her brief yet impactful tenure on 'Saturday Night Live' during Season 19. Despite calling the experience 'magical', she also described the intense anxiety and pressure that accompanied it. Silverman revealed that she was caught off guard by her firing but ultimately viewed it as a blessing. She credited Conan O'Brien with helping her career continue in the wake of her departure, stating that his support was instrumental for her growth as a comedian.
"I was totally thrown for a loop when I was fired, because it never occurred to me that was possible. I think it's definitely for the best."
"Conan was the best thing for me. That was his first year [on 'Late Night'], was my first and only year at 'SNL.' And he put me on all the time, even after I was fired."
