Comedian Sarah Silverman has opened up about an awkward moment with Pamela Anderson, revealing she fears the former Baywatch star “does not care for” her.
The 54-year-old comic shared the story during a recent interview on Andy Cohen Live on SiriusXM, where she was promoting her new Netflix special. The uneasy encounter happened at a high-profile Hollywood gala in 2024, and it seems the tension dates back years.
Sarah explained that her fear Pamela Anderson “does not care for” her stems from a chilly exchange where Pamela bluntly reminded her about the jokes she made during the 2005 Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson. At the event, Pamela reportedly looked Sarah in the eye and said, “Oh yeah. You told horrible jokes about me on my roast,” before turning on her heel and walking away. Sarah admitted this moment broke her heart, highlighting just how real the rift felt.
The backstory here is that Sarah Silverman wasn’t just some random face at the gala. She had appeared on Pamela’s early 2000s TV series V.I.P., and of course, she was part of the roast lineup that also included famous comedians like Jimmy Kimmel, Courtney Love, Jeff Ross, and Andy Dick. Sarah’s roast jokes poked fun at Pamela’s public image, including a memorable line about her and Paris Hilton.
Sarah’s recounting of the meeting also mentioned that she attended the 2024 gala as a guest of her friend Sacha Baron Cohen, who has his own connection to Pamela from the Borat movies. When Andy Cohen suggested introducing the two, the interaction quickly went south with Pamela’s icy response. For Sarah, this confirmed that Pamela Anderson “does not care for” her, making the encounter uncomfortable.
The 2005 roast itself has been in the spotlight for various reasons over the years. Besides Sarah’s jokes, it included controversial moments like Andy Dick groping Pamela Anderson on stage, a clip that resurfaced in 2018 and sparked discussions about the nature of roast comedy. Despite the edgy humor, roasts are meant to be in good fun, but it’s clear some feelings lingered for Pamela.
Sarah Silverman’s experience reveals how celebrity interactions can carry complicated histories. It’s not just about making jokes; it’s about how those jokes are received years later in unexpected settings like glamorous Hollywood galas. While roasts push boundaries, this story shows that not everyone is always ready to laugh it off.
This revelation from Sarah Silverman gives fans a rare peek behind the scenes of celebrity dynamics and the complicated feelings that come with humor and fame. It also reminds us that even comedians who are known for their sharp wit can have moments where their jokes hit harder than they intended.
