The Hollywood Reporter ^ | January 23, 2016 | Ryan Parker

Posted on 01/24/2016 9:41:51 AM PST by EveningStar

Tina Fey gave her fans what they were hoping for all week. 

Fey returned to Saturday Night Live to once again play former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the heels of the political commentator's endorsement of Donald Trump. 

Fey appeared as Palin in the cold open alongside the GOP presidential candidate, played by fellow SNL veteran Darrell Hammond.

As I said I switched to something I found funny, SCTV, not something lame and asinine. You are welcome to like whatever you want, there is no reason to expect me to have the same tastes or for me to use a lame put down to ridicule your taste. I believe that even you could determine that my statement was hyperbole, but then with what I have been observing here as of late, perhaps not. You like SNL and Fey, good for you!

"...then along came Sarah Palin and her career was revived..."

Yeah, except maybe that "30 Rock" thing. I think that was on for a couple of weeks and somebody said they won some awards or something, but yeah, Palin probably saved her career, OK.

Hating and mocking is how liberalism works. It's literally fuel for liberals, they run on it. It's how they organize themselves - by who you hate. Never WHY you hate, only WHO. Join in the mocking and hating, show your loyalty that way, or you're the next target. That's liberalism in a nutshell. The only thing they stand for is who they stand against, and none of them ask why. Obedience is their only goal.

I'm a trump/Cruz ticket advocate and thought the spoof was funny. I guess a lot of folks have never seen a "roast."

Tina Fey did a charicuture of Palin which was, quite frankly, very well done. :-)).

Tina got that Sarah screech down right.

Tina Fey has a fairly popular movie in theaters right now. She has another in post production. I don’t think this is just her 15 minutes. Unfortunately, bashing conservatives is a resume booster in Hollywood and the Big Apple.

There is a significant contingent on FreeRepublic who still sees Sarah Palin as a delicate flower who is not to be mocked.

ALL politicians are open for satire and mockery. SNL has gone after Hillary Clinton with both barrels recently.

Sarah Palin is almost difficult to mock lately though. Her recent speeches are so bad, shrill, and filled with empty nonsense that they’re almost beyond satire. In a recent SNL skit, Tina Fey only used actual sentences that Sarah Palin had used in recent speeches. The writers didn’t even have to make anything up.

After watching the Black guy on Weekend Update skewer Trump Supporters, I wonder what his FR Handle is.

He was apoplectic (yes, I know it’s an act) about Trump’s joke about shooting a guy and still having his Supporters behind him. I guess Trump should have said he would do it in Self Defense, but even that isn’t a good enough excuse for Liberals anyway.

I think they did have ONE Hillary joke, and she is responsible for the death of four Americans and then lying to their Families about how and why they died.

Oh yeah, let’s not even go into the revelation that Hillary had Super Duper Top Secret Intel on her personal Email Server where any of our enemies could hack the information and endanger America.

Clinton is the Flubber Candidate, just like Obama is the Flubber President. Things don’t just slide off them, they bounce off and accelerate in the opposite direction.

At least SNL does a less-than-flattering impersonation of Hillary too. They’ve even poked fun at Obama a few times.

At least Fey and Hammond's impersonations of Palin and Trump are funny. Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton is just terrible. To be fair to McKinnon, in nearly 25 years and I don't know how many cast members, SNL has never been able to field a good impression of Hillary Clinton

She used to come off as serious and was serious. Now she comes off as a joke. She just does.

There's been a few times I've heard her speak in the last couple of years where I've honestly wondered if she was sober.
