Pride & Joy

Sarah Silverman said in interviews that she was originally cast as Amy Sherman immediately after moving to Los Angeles (and just after being fired from Saturday Night Live), even though she "looked 15." But when the script called for her and Craig Bierko, who played her husband, to kiss, that's when things got really slippery as she played the part "too French." She said, "I just fully did an open-mouth tongue kiss every time. I didn't know any better and nobody said anything!" Silverman said her only reference to onscreen kissing was Happy Days and "they made out hard in that," she joked. Rather than correct her tongue, she said that producers must've thought it was easier to just fire her. She was replaced by Julie Warner and she said that after her experiences at SNL and Pride & Joy, she worried she'd be fired from every job she got.
