Sarah Silverman continues daily cheer for essential workers on her balcony amid coronavirus pandemic

Sarah Silverman continued her daily ritual of cheering on essential workers from her balcony amid the coronavirus pandemic in New York City on Wednesday.

The 49-year-old comedienne looked lively, as she banged on a frying pan with a spatula to make some noise with her assistant Annie Segal.

The Wreck-It Ralph star and her ‘quarantine partner’ have been making an effort to show their appreciation for the emergency personnel. 

For the occasion, she bared her taut midriff in a pair of low-rise camouflage pants and a grey sweatshirt. 

For the past week, she has been taking to Instagram to show off her pride and encourage her 1.8 million to also make some noise. 

Silverman started her tradition last Tuesday, when she heard people cheering for emergency workers from their apartments at 7 PM during shift change. 

‘Everyday at 7pm in NYC, people open their window or stand on their fire escapes and bang pots and pans and howl and cheer on appreciation for our health care workers, grocery store workers and delivery people,’ she said.

‘It makes us feel connected and that we aren’t alone. I live for ever 7-7:03pm,’ she added in her post.

She shared another video from 7 PM to 7:03 PM a few days later, recorded on video by Segal, where she used a green megaphone to speak to everyone outside. 

‘Wash your hands. Do not forget to floss. Death creeps in through the gums,’ Silverman said through the megaphone. 

On Sunday, she tried a similar experiment, after all of the cheering died down during shift change.

‘Today as the clanging and howling and cheering died down I took a chance and played a song (through my phone into a Bluetooth speaker held up to a toy bullhorn I got online) and whatdoyaknow it got quiet, and then the pots and pans, they were like instruments,’ she said.

The song she played for the New York City masses was Bein’ Green by Frank Sinatra, as she watched and listened to her fellow New Yorkers.
