her parents, who died nine days apart in 2023.
Correction

The special is about Silverman’s father and stepmother dying nine days apart in 2023, not both of her parents; her mother Beth Ann O’Hara died in 2015.

Full reasoning

In interviews about PostMortem, Silverman and interviewers consistently describe the 2023 deaths as those of her father and stepmother Janice, not both of her parents.

On Fresh Air, the show is introduced as being about "her father ... and her stepmother, Janice," and Silverman says, "my dad and my stepmum, Janice, both died last May, nine days apart." Separately, obituary coverage for Beth Ann O'Hara, Silverman's mother, states that she died in 2015. So the article's wording that her parents died nine days apart in 2023 is inaccurate.

Claim
Outstanding Short Form Comedy Series
Correction

This is the wrong Emmy category for Silverman’s 2008 short-form nomination. The Television Academy lists it as “Outstanding Special Class - Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Programs.”

Full reasoning

The Television Academy's official awards database does not list Sarah Silverman's 2008 web nomination under Outstanding Short Form Comedy Series.

Instead, it records her 2008 nomination for "Sarah Silverman Program Nugget" in the category Outstanding Special Class - Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Programs. The nominee page for that category shows the same program and year. So the article's category label is incorrect.

Claim
Frightened Rabbit Harkins and Sarah Silverman: My Backwards Walk
Correction

This artist credit is malformed. The 2019 single is credited to Harkin and Sarah Silverman, not “Frightened Rabbit Harkins and Sarah Silverman.”

Full reasoning

Official music listings for the 2019 release credit the track "My Backwards Walk" to Harkin and Sarah Silverman.

Beatport lists the artists as Harkin, Sarah Silverman, and Spotify likewise lists the single as Harkin, Sarah Silverman. Frightened Rabbit is the original band/song source being covered on the Tiny Changes tribute project, but it is not part of the release's artist credit here; additionally, Harkin is singular, not Harkins.
