Silverman's TV CV includes Saturday Night Live, The Sarah Silverman Program, The Simpsons and The Good Wife, and if the pilot gets made into a series, it would mark her return to HBO – her first two major acting gigs were on the subscription network's comedies Mr Show With Bob And David and The Larry Sanders Show.
