With three days left until Election Day, John McCain put his campaign to a halt to make an appearance on NBC’s "Saturday Night Live" — where he poked fun at his campaign financial shortcomings and sold McCain-themed merchandise on a fake QVC show.

McCain, alongside "Sarah Palin" (Tina Fey), kicked off saying how this past Wednesday Barack Obama purchased airtime on three major networks, but his campaign, however, can only afford QVC. McCain advertised a set of knives that cut through pork in Washington. "Palin" advertised a set of Joe action figures commemorating Joe the Plumber, Joe Six Pack and Democratic rival Joe Biden. If you pull Biden’s cord, he talks for 45 minutes … Cindy McCain briefly appeared but didn’t speak as she showcased "McCain Fine-Gold" jewelry, a play on the campaign finance law McCain helped authored. Called the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002, the law is also known as "McCain- Feingold."

"Palin" also pulled out T-shirts saying "Palin 2012."

"If I’m not going to the White House," she said, "I’m either running in four years or I’m going to be a white Oprah."

Watch John McCain and "Sarah Palin" address the nation on QVC:

McCain also appeared on Weekend Update to talk about his new, radical campaign strategies. Watch the video below to learn how the "Reverse Maverick" and "The Sad Grandpa" will help McCain win the election.

While McCain did make fun of himself, this was obviously a campaign move. The comedy show’s impact on this election is more than evident. Last month, when the real Sarah Palin appeared on the show, it was the highest rated "SNL" episode in 14 years.
