50. Sarah Silverman: A Speck of Dust

The veteran comedienne and actress has seemingly done it all in her career. She’s been on Saturday Night Live, created her own show and starred in movies. The one thing she hadn’t done yet was hosting her own Netflix special. Well, now that time has arrived and “A Speck of Dust” was added at the end of May and sees her at her finest.

As previously mentioned, Silverman has shown her versatility and range as an actress, but it’s on the stage where I think she shines. I’ve missed that, not that I didn’t enjoy her on TV and movies, but it’s just something about going back to one’s roots that bring out the best in a performer.

Liam Lynch directed the special.
