Staying true to form, Sarah Silverman went nuclear at Hulu over the canceling of her series, “I love you, America,” on the streaming network.

“I know that they did love the show, but I think what it cost compared to its popularity or the eyes that they had on it didn’t—you know, the people that make the decisions there don’t have any connection to the show,” she said at first to “The Last Laugh” podcast host Matt Wilstein. “So it’s easier for them. It’s probably smart. They make very hard decisions.”

While Silverman‘s middle-America-mocking show was rated highly by critics — shocker — its reviews from viewers were mixed and the series had an audience score of only 54 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Is it any wonder the show didn’t “have the eyes” on it enough to merit another season?

I don’t find it surprising at all that a reality show about a Trump-hating, middle-aged, ultra-progressive, Hollywood-type touring fly-over country to highlight members of the Westboro Baptist Church and ex-Neonazis as examples of middle America couldn’t find an audience.

Burning bridges with Hulu over $1,500.

The shock comedian also decided to “burn this [bridge] down” and griped about how the company that paid for her travel and accommodations throughout the single season of her show wouldn’t pay for her makeup for the Emmy’s despite her Hulu show being nominated for an award.

“You know, it’s one of their only shows nominated for Emmys besides “Handmaid’s Tale”, she said before announcing that Hulu sent her a $1,500 bill for getting her hair and makeup done for the Emmy’s.

“Even Comedy Central, like 15 years ago, paid for that [explitive] when I was nominated,” she claimed. “I was just flummoxed. Wouldn’t it be worth them paying $1,500 to not have me on Matt Wilstein’s podcast saying Hulu wouldn’t pay $1,500 for an Emmy for their network?”

Or perhaps her bringing up the $1,500 — which she implies is an insignificant amount — on a podcast costs her more than that in future collaborations she could’ve done with Hulu or elsewhere.

Silverman went on to mention that Hulu didn’t send her any note of congratulations or flowers when she got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year, shortly followed by a lame claim that it didn’t matter to her.

“That stuff doesn’t mean anything to me—it really doesn’t,” she said. “But it’s just such a bad look for [Hulu].”

Usually, when something doesn’t mean anything to someone, they don’t keep a scorecard on it.

If anything, at least Sarah Silverman realizes her spoiled griping and sour grapes only make her less likely to get work, and in that, we all benefit.
