Sarah Silverman may be the worst salesperson in the history of television.
On Wednesday, the star of “I Love You, America” closed Hulu’s upfront event with the following pitch to media buyers and advertisers: “Folks, we did the research. We did it for you,” the comedian began. “And I can tell you unequivocally that investing in this show is probably a terrible idea.”
“But, you know, f— it,” she added. “All your choices are a gamble, right?” Yeah, pretty much.
“I Love You, America” is a weekly half-hour topical show from Funny or Die, focusing on the current political/emotional landscape of the country.
