Did You See "Sarah" On SNL "She's Baaaack"

[lizbud]

It was hilarious & so dead on.:)


September 14, 2008 8:48 AM

ABC News' David Wright and Alyssa Litoff Report: As comedienne Tina Fey debuted her impression of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, the governor and her staff were watching from 30,000 feet.

Palin was on board her campaign jet flying from Reno to Denver as 11:30 PM Eastern rolled around. But the show was available on the Jetblue charter's satellite TV system.

Standing alongside SNL cast member Amy Poehler who was impersonating Hillary Clinton, Fey's Palin extolled her foreign policy expertise in a flat midwestern accent: "I can see Russia from my house!"

There were howls of laughter from the sizeable press corps covering Palin's first foray on the campaign trail without her running man as a chaperone.

But, from the front of the plane, silence. The flight attendants assured us Palin and her entourage were watching. What she thought, though, is anybody's guess.

Palin has yet to say so much as hello to the press corps.

The campaign is doing its best to keep Palin well away from inquisitive reporters, going so far as to book the press corps into a separate hotel from the candidate.

Looking forward to watching it tonight on TIVO.

Sounds hilarious.

I was watching CNN earlier and they showed a clip of it. I Googled it and found it on this site. It was very funny.

That was almost scary :eek:

I mean... if I didn't know better and didn't know I was watching SNL I would have swore it was her in the flesh lol. uncanny. I think that is BY FAR the BEST impersonation EVER on that show.

There was a george bush impersonator (don't know what show he was from) and I thought it was dead on and looked almost identical... but this.... this was by FAR the best I have ever seen.

That was hilarious! Excellent writing!

That was so excellent and entertaining, I loved watching Tina Fey, and glad to see her making a apperence.

The second I saw Palin's picture, I pictured Tina Fey in an upsweep hairdo. ROFL! Both impressions were dead on. LOL!

I saw that women are buying the Sarah Palin signature model glasses.

This makes me laugh because We will have to put up with at least 48 days of women owning/getting the SP glass frames?

It reminds me of the time I went to pick out my frames.

The AH at the desk made a remark about the models I selected.

"You picked out the most expensive frames...."

"SO WHAT!" Because of my job the company insurance paid for my first pair of spec-a-tacles (See Jethro Tull.) I wanted to ask her about how much her hourly wages would go down if that was the pair I wanted.

Woman are going nuts trying to get a pair of frames just like the GOP vp candidate. They just need to learn to shoot, fish, and gut the catch.


A real woman!

Tina Fey was back doing Palin again last night. The funniest part of
the whole show.Listen to "Palin's" explanation of the debated budget bill.:D

I saw it last night and really laughed! She's so good at doing SP. Can't say the same for the one doing Katie Couric though.

I was finally glad to see they poked a little fun at Obama with the debate skit although it was nothing compared to how hard they are on McCain and Palin. I miss the days when SNL wasn't so politically biased and made fun of both sides. I enjoy laughing at both. Too bad SNL has an agenda and can't just be entertainment like it's suppose to be.

I just saw a clip of last night's show on MSNBC. At first I thought it was the "real" Sarah. Tina really is great at being Sarah. Too funny!!!!! :D

[lizbud]

It's amazing how she not only looks like Palin, but she has the dialect
and mannerisms down pat.:D Love it when she says her neighbors "shoo"
the Russians out of Alaska.:)

[cassiesmom]

When I saw Sarah Palin for the first time giving her speech at the Republican National Convention I thought the same thing - wow, she's a twin with Tina Fey. (But I'm a big fan of Tina Fey anyway) One of my other favorite SNL "Presidents" is the one where Phil Hartman as Clinton stops at a McDonald's while jogging and eats food from other customers' trays while he talks politics.

Agenda?

No way!;)

I thought she got an Academy Award for Baby Mama.:confused::rolleyes:

If it make you laugh, it's entertainment, right? :)

Hey, they pick on Obama all the time. Have you ever watched the guy who
does the over-serious, never smiling impersonation of him?

I just saw an interview of Tina Fake after her Nobel Peace Prize award and now know she's a warm sincere person.

She stated that she hoped to be thru with the SP role on SNL on November 5 2008. And she asked for our help to get her wish.

I say let's keep this poor unemployed gal working so she doesn't have to make movies that aren't funny.

What an FN hack, if she despises the role so much why doesn't she refuse it? Or at least donate the salary from the appearances to charity?

She could reduce her carbon footprint my staying here in Lost Angeles and not flying back east for work that she really doesn't want to do.

I love Hollywood!:D

It was taken down on youtube but I found the video here: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/couric-palin-open/704042/

I've seen their few Obama skits - they do very little to make fun of him, at least compared to how they rake McCain and now Palin. I just wish they would spend equal time spoofing Obama/Biden. Maybe we'll get to see them do a skit with Biden after this week's VP Debate. Biden's hair alone is enough for a skit. :p

Maybe they don't have as much to work with :D
