Comedy Central's hit series, “The Sarah Silverman Program,” returns for a third season with 10 all-new episodes beginning at 10:30 p.m. Thursday. The new “Important Things with Demetri Martin”/“The Sarah Silverman Program” block airs on Thursdays.

Silverman plays a character (aptly named Sarah Silverman) whose absurd daily life is told through narrative and an occasional song. In each episode, Sarah falls into unique, unsettling and always hilarious predicaments, with her sister (played by real-life sister Laura Silverman), her nerdy gay neighbors, Brian and Steve (Brian Posehn and Steve Agee) and dim-witted Officer Jay (Jay Johnston) never far from her side.

In the premiere episode, Laura wants Sarah to “man-up” and start taking responsibilities for her life, so she falsely informs her that she was born a hermaphrodite. Sarah accepts her manhood and decides to move into the woods and live off the land. Meanwhile, Brian and Steve are haunted by Mr. Jenkins and must dig up his grave and replace the remote that killed him in his corpse's chest.

Silverman recently received another Emmy nomination for her role in “The Sarah Silverman Program.” She had previously won a Primetime Emmy in 2008 in the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics category for a musical collaboration with Matt Damon.

Silverman will soon add author to her resume when her book, a memoir, “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption and Pee,” debuts in stores on April 20. She also recently wrapped production on the comedy “Peep World,” opposite Rainn Wilson and Michael C. Hall.

Previously, Silverman made an impressive splash when the feature-length film version of her stage show, “Jesus is Magic,” was met with critical acclaim upon its release in 2005. Silverman garnered rave reviews in the documentary feature “The Aristocrats,” in which she co-starred along with 100 of the industry's most prominent comedians. She also starred opposite Jack Black, Mike White and Joan Cusack in Paramount Picture's “The School of Rock,” among others.

Launching this month, the updated “Sarah Silverman Program” Web site will feature exclusive video from Sarah, a digital children's book inspired by the upcoming new episode, “The Silverman and the Pillows,” along with episode highlights and behind-the-scenes video from each episode from the series blogger.

Also, check in for “rewind” clips featuring moments from previous seasons, Twitter games, events and challenges along with a branded Facebook page with a personality quiz, among other features.

“The Sarah Silverman Program: Season 2 , Volume 2” DVD is a double disc containing all 10 episodes from the second season and will hit stores Feb. 9.

Bonus material features animated , behind-the-scenes and audio commentary with the entire cast.
