Sarah Silverman jokes that she no longer sees her ex, Jimmy Kimmel, ‘as a sexual being’
Jimmy Kimmel and his former girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, have proved once again that friendly exes do exist, even in Hollywood. Sarah stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Wednesday, Sept. 5, to talk about her new show, “I Love You, America,” but it was hard not to focus on the adorable ribbing that went on between host and guest instead. “What’s going on with me dating-wise?” she asked at one point, repeating his query (via E! News). “I’m waiting for this tryst with you to be over!” she joked. “I mean, OK, Molly is cute,” she continued, referring to Jimmy’s wife, who’s also the show’s head writer. “She’s bright, she’s funny, she’s blonde — whatever! But come on! You’ve got the kids, you’ve got the marriage … all right. Work it through! You think she’s going to wipe your a– when you’re old?” Jimmy had the perfect response: “I don’t do it now. So why would she?” Sarah then pointed out how much Jimmy seemed to have changed in recent years, quipping, “It’s not fair! She gets, like, new woke Jimmy. I had ‘Man Show’ Jimmy.” Sarah also opened up about her more recent ex, Michael Sheen. “As you know, he moved back to the U.K. His life is really there, and my life is really not there. But I love him to pieces. But if he’s in town and we’re both single, we will make love,” she admitted. “But he dated someone for a beat during that time when we hung out, and we were just bros. I’m good at separating that, you know?” She left room for one more zinger: “I can’t imagine you as a sexual being anymore,” to which Jimmy replied, “Really?” adding, “You don’t have to make the yuck face!” She went on to say she’d thought about it hard then offered, “But you’re handsome! You look gorgeous! You look like a model. You’re doing your beard on what, a two?” Cue Jimmy’s last comeback: “We have the same [beard] setting. It’s one of the things we have in common!”
