The Sarah Silverman Program’s tribute to the late Harris Wittels is heartbreaking

Harris Wittels fans know the late comedian got his start in Hollywood as a writer for The Sarah Silverman Program and that Silverman, in particular, took Wittels’ recent death fairly hard. That’s why it’s so sweet that Silverman, Rob Schrab, and the rest of cast and crew of the show put together a tribute to Wittels’ work on the show. It’s bittersweet, to say the least—especially with Silverman singing a sad Bright Eyes song over the closing montage—but also a funny look back at just how Wittels’ singular voice shaped so much of the show.
