Sarah Palin to Make 'Saturday Night Live' Appearance?

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
Tina Fey and Sarah Palin

Will the real Sarah Palin make an appearance on “Saturday Night Live"?

There may be a chance.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that it may be likely that the Alaska governor and John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate will appear on the popular weekend comedy show to have some fun with Tina Fey. Fey, the former “SNL” writer and current star of the NBC comedy “30 Rock,” has returned to the “SNL” set in recent weeks to play Palin in various political skits. 

A top staffer in McCain’s campaign told the Sun-Times that the McCain-Palin camp is considering how to respond to Fey’s parodies. There’s some talk that Palin might spoof Fey’s American Express commercials.

The newspaper column reports that some key McCain staffers are content with Palin sticking to just joking about the "SNL" routines on the campaign trail — as when she scribbled "I’m not Tina Fey" on a supporter’s cell phone and said she’d dressed as Fey on Halloween. But some — including the governor herself — think she needs to respond in a more high-profile way.

It’s possible Palin could appear Thursday on the first of NBC’s ”Weekend Update” specials in prime time.

Is that her reward for inciting her listeners at recent campaign events to shout “terrorist” and “kill him”? She never even paused to ask her audience to calm down and be responsible. Appalling.

I think Sarah will do well on SNL. Hey Folks! There are people out there who really like her. She is having a Sally Field moment.

Ugh, I won’t be watching, she irks me, and her voice is annoying, Tina making fun is funny, but true satire. I don’t want to see her lying face, maybe she ought to ask SNL, if they have permanent position, I least I wouldn’t have to worry about her being in charge of the country.

This is the last thing the McCain campaign needs. They should be looking at how to give Sarah Palin a bit more gravitas.

I agree completely! What a stupid thing to be considering… sure shows us what supporters of this idea think of the rest of us!!

Lucinda, Trust me, they could pour it down her throat with a golden septre, it WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING.

McCain hosted SNL. Ralph Nader hosted SNL. Obama and Hillary both appeared on SNL. Only the Veep candidates have not had the honor. Perhaps they could do walk on appearances? Nah. Let them stick to the campaign. It was funny when Hillary did it, but only because Amy Poehler had been so successfully mimicking her for so long. Tina probably will not be playing Sarah Palin much longer anyway. By the way, I think the Obama campaign has been very restrained in not using McCain’s SNL sketches against him. He was very creepy.

Do you think if Sarah Palin went on SNL she would figure out the the jokes about her is not far from the REAL Sarah Palin. She seems like a very smart, nice lady. A hockey mom, who you would love to have a beer with and talk about the problems as you see them, yes. However a vice-president she’s not. Come to think of it, to talk to her, maybe not. Her voice is like running your fingernails over a chalkboard!
