A Great Image: Sarah Silverman Does Sasquatch

It ain’t Bobbi Fleckman, but the May 26-27th Sasquatch! Music Festival at The Gorge has announced its own hostess with the mostess: Sarah Silverman.

I’m not sure what she’s gonna do while hosting, but I bet she’ll look good and make inappropriate jokes that some people who take themselves too seriously won’t enjoy. (Silverman joins Bjork, Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys, Spoon, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Neko Case, The Hold Steady, The Slip and many more).

Sasquatch! Music Festival is pleased to announce that Sarah Silverman is confirmed to host the 6th Annual Event. The LA-based comedienne/actor (The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central and the acclaimed 2005 film Jesus Is Magic) will appear at the festival both Saturday, May 26th and Sunday, May 27th at the Gorge Amphitheatre.

Silverman’s got many detractors, but I’m a big fan of her work. Last week’s episode of her new Comedy Central program featured a classic scene, including one of the better delivered lines of all-time, from Sarah to the staffers of her new AIDS Awareness foundation: “We have a chance to make change. If we can put a man on the moon, we can put a man with AIDS on the moon. And then someday, we can put everyone with AIDS on the moon. So who’s with me?” Fucking awesome.
