Comedian Sarah Silverman has launched a new YouTube channel called “JASH,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The channel was launched March 10 at the South by Southwest festival and is a collaboration between Silverman and fellow comics Michael Cera, Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim and Reggie Watts. The name stands for “Just Attitude So Hey.”
“Literally, we were at a restaurant, and Tim said, ‘Just attitude!’ Which is so Tim,” Silverman told the Reporter. “And then Michael Cera said, ‘So … hey?’ Which is so Michael Cera.”
The group of comedians decided to launch the channel after being approached by Google about creating web-only experimental comedy. Each of the participants will have their own page on the channel to create and curate content. JASH is one of 60 new YouTube channels featuring established entertainers.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
