NEW YORK — Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have broken up, their publicists said Monday. "Jimmy and Sarah have no further comment," Kimmel's spokesman Lewis Kay told The Associated Press, confirming the split that was first reported on Vanity Fair magazine's Web site.

Silverman's publicist, Amy Zvi, confirmed the breakup in an e-mail message to the AP. Zvi didn't immediately respond when asked for further details.

The pair dated for five years, and were one of Hollywood's funniest — and seemingly solid — couples.

Earlier this year, they took the Internet by storm with a mega-popular video duel. Silverman debuted a clip of her and Matt Damon singing about their fake love affair on Kimmel's ABC late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and Kimmel later responded with a star-studded video declaring a romance with Damon's best friend, Ben Affleck.

Silverman, 37, has made frequent appearances on the 39-year-old Kimmel's talk show. The comedian has starred in a feature-film length version of her one-woman show, "Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic," and fronted her own Comedy Central series, "The Sarah Silverman Program."

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Dear Media:

I know it's tough, but please refrain from posting entertainment news in the "top wire" section, in abrogation of your pure duty to public education.

Thanks,
Eric

I'm far from a conservative, but there is something that really bothers me about Sarah Silverman. Her brand of irreverancy is not funny, it's just irreverant. George Carlin she is not, if you want to use the 7 words, for instance, at least make it funny. She seems to think that all you have to do is come out say a few curse words and everyone will just lap it up. She is not funny at all!!!

@!$%#ing Jimmy Kimmel is the best move she could make career-wise. Nothing else about her is even vaguely associated with being entertaining.

I don't think Jimmy's gotten over Adam Carolla yet.
