Sarah Silverman Posts Her Failed NBC Pilot ‘Susan 313’; Watch It Here

Still, a lot of work has already gone into the show by that point, so on the occasion that a failed pilot makes it out, the results can be interesting to see. Last year, Sarah Silverman taped Susan 313, a semi-autobiographical half-hour sitcom about a ’90s rock star coming out of a ten-year relationship. She’s now posted the pilot in its entirety online, and you can watch it after the jump.
Susan 313 was intended to air in the 2012-2013 season, but never got picked up by NBC. Silverman admits right in the intro that NBC “probably did the right thing” by passing on the show, even though she’s obviously pretty proud of it — and with good reason. The episode is funny and inventive, with loads of great talent. It’s not perfect, but then most shows (and comedies in particular) tend to improve as the first season progresses.
