Just yesterday came word that comedian Sarah Silverman would have to settle for an $850,000-per-episode budget for the third season of The Sarah Silverman Program.

That number went up by $250,000 today with the announcement that Comedy Central would be splitting the bill with Logo.

According to reports, in return for the money, Logo will be able to air first-run episodes of the show when it premieres next year.

"We're happy," Silverman told reporters Tuesday. "All we ever wanted was just to make our show. Nothing fancy -- just our show."
