Sarah Silverman is known for ruffling a few feathers with her controversial, no-holds-barred brand of comedy, a style she says runs in the family. "My dad taught me to swear," she tells Rachael proudly. "He thought it was hilarious for a 3-year-old to be swearing in the middle of a supermarket." Her dad continues to cross the line even in retirement in Boca Raton, Florida. "He just sits around Starbucks and heckles people as they come in. He's been punched in the face, like, three times in three years!"

Sarah attended the Emmy's this year as a nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program (enter here for your chance to win Season 2 of the show). Looking back on the evening, Sarah says she looked like a "big blue house" on the red carpet. "I swear I loved the dress," she says. "It's like I have beer goggles with myself!" Sarah explains that designer Badgley Mischka offered to make her a dress based on her designs. "They sent me a basic dress and then there was a tailor in Los Angeles who would help me tweak it. I'm making all these changes and I'm so excited - and the tailor sent a picture of our final product to Badgley Mischka and they said that they would prefer if their name was no longer on the dress!"

Sarah talks about the horrifying childhood experience that led to her to title her new book The Bedwetter, how Elvis Presley saved her life, and for a round of "Going Too Far?"
