Two of the worst comedians ever on SNL. I heard a rumor when Fey was doing her lame Sarah Palin impersonation, the left gave her the Mark Twain prize for humor as a way to boost Feys legitimacy being the patronizing assholes the left is, and Carol Burnett did not appreciate that at all. Mark Twain prize is the top prize for comedians that people from Richard Pryor to George Carlin got and Burnett who was doing comedy since Fey was a kid was ignored. I think the next year they finally gave it to Burnett, but it’s just one more example of how the left commandeers awards and uses them to boost their agenda. They don’t give a damn about them, Nobel peach prize probably being the most notoriously abused.

Well Hollywood’s “prizes” are always political...and since they are leftists those they award are in their loop. Therefore they have no meaning whatsoever to skill or performance.

Recall the line up of celebrities Obama awarded? That was payback for Hollywoods supporting him....none of them deserved a single one.
