SARAH SILVERMAN: WE ARE MIRACLES
HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET
My favorite part of this Sarah Silverman special – her first for HBO – is the prologue, which has her trading barbs with some curbside toughs before entering the club to do her intentionally outrageous standup act. How outrageous? It’s difficult to describe, but she earns lots of laughs by the many ways she says a word that Bill Cosby, presenting his own standup comedy act on a competing cable network tonight, would never say on stage even once.
