Video: Blazed Sarah Silverman Whips Out Her 'Liquid Pot' On The Emmys Red Carpet
The red carpet for award shows is a place to drop designer names, make funny gestures in the Mani-Cam and tell everyone that you're just honored to be nominated. But if you're Sarah Silverman, you use it as an opportunity to act hilariously stoned and show off your "liquid pot" in case there was any doubt.
It was clear Silverman was a little out of it: she committed the sin of forgetting who made her clutch, joked that her Marni dress was created by the Girls character Marnie and kept touching her boobs so much that Giuliana Rancic had to calm her down. She joked, "They're the lowest they've ever been and the highest they'll ever be!"
She let Rancic go through her clutch by an unnamed designer, and she pulled out her vape pen, proclaiming that it was her "liquid pot."
Here's the video via Vulture:

Let's hope she wins, just so we can hear her speech.
Update 7:40 p.m.: Sarah swears she is not stoned in the press room:
What's your binge meal after the Emmys? "I'm not high!" - Sarah Silverman #emmys #mediaroom

Update 6:48 p.m.: Okay, it was a standard speech but with a stoner ending: "We're all just made of molecules and we're hurtling through space right now."
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
