    Nov 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tiffany Haddish and Sarah Silverman have been added to the lineup for Amazon Prime Video’s end of 2020 comedy special “Yearly Departed”.
    Haddish, Silverman and “Insecure” ‘s Natasha Rothwell will all be part of the show, which will be hosted by Phoebe Robinson and executive produced by “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” ‘s Rachel Brosnahan, who will also appear.
    To celebrate the passing of a remarkable and difficult year that has been marred by the Covid-19 pandemic, the female comedians will deliver eulogies for the year and things many have lost out on in 2020 – such as casual sex.

    “I’m ready to put 2020 on fire like I’m barbecuing at a Black family reunion,” Robinson said when she announced she would host the special back in October. “All kidding aside, the world is beyond stressful and confusing, so I’m honored to help take everyone’s minds off the heaviness with some much-needed comedy while wearing a fresh wig.”
    Ziwe, Patti Harrison, and Natasha Leggero are also slated to appear in the special, which will air on 30 December.
    Emmy Award-nominee Linda Mendoza is tapped to direct the special to bid farewell to the bleak year 2020 while Bess Kalb is going to serve as a head writer.
    “After a year of societal upheaval, plague, murder hornets and banana bread, ‘Yearly Departed’ will give 2020 the huge send-off it deserves, from some of the world’s funniest women,” Amazon said in a statement.

      AceShowbiz – Sarah Silverman is one of the celebs participating in Gal Gadot’s infamous “Imagine” cover clip, and now she has addressed the controversy surrounding the video. During her recent appearance on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show, the comedian admitted she was not surprised by the backlash.
      In the episode, Sarah explained that Kristen Wiig was the one who invited her to take part in the cover. “So she emailed me and she goes, ‘well, we’re all gonna sing ‘Imagine’.’ And I wrote her back and I go ‘ ‘Imagine’, really?’ ” she said. “And she, and she, and she’s so sweet, you know? I mean, she’s so funny. She’s also so sweet. And she goes, ‘It’s just to like cheer people up.’ And then I couldn’t say no, because one, it was the beginning of quarantine. Like there’s no saying no to anyone because you can’t, there’s no excuse for it.”

      She continued, “So I tried to like, make my part funny at least, you know, like I just feel like I have no currency unless I’m being funny, which is ironic considering this appearance…” But soon after the video received criticism from social media users, Kristen apparently reached out again to Sarah to apologize to her. Sarah herself understood why people got mad over the clip because in her opinion, “It was well intentioned, but like, yeah, a little tone death, but it really came from a nice place I think.”

      Back in March, Gadot gathered the likes of Sarah, Kristen, Jamie Dornan, Natalie Portman and Jimmy Fallon to cover John Legend’s “Imagine” in hope that it could cheer people up in the beginning of the quarantine period. However, the clip was met with widespread backlash as people generally thought the whole thing was insensitive, cringey, and wildly out of touch.
