Tom Goes to the Mayor returns in mid-June for season 2. In related news, Sir Mix-A-Lot enjoys 1.8 liters of soda at a time in Big Cups.
Interesting article... but I don't think he gets her jokes. I'm not that familiar with Larry the Cable Guy , but if he's like the absolutely excrable Carlos Mencia they're just doing stupider, raunchier versions of Seinfeld's dentist's schtick.
I think the best parts of Sarah Silverman's act derive not from racism and sexism but from our discomfort with the subjects of race and sex. Sure, some of her jokes fall into the mold of "it's funny to hear a cute jewish girl say stuff that would make Carlin blush" -- Southpark gets huge mileage out of the same thing but with little cartoon kids. But, like Southpark, a lot of it addresses issues that no one else will touch, and since it's coming from such an unlikely and unthreatening source it seems to work. I haven't seen Jesus is Magic but I'll try to dig up some clips to better illustrate my point.
