After watching "Saturday Night Live" make fun of her from afar, Sarah Palin witnessed it first hand this week as Tina Fey engaged in fiction by depicting her at the news conference the Republican vice presidential nominee has yet to hold.
Later, Palin came on stage during the Weekend Update mock news segment and bobbed to the beat as cast member Amy Poehler performed a rap song the Alaska governor decided was too hardcore for her to perform personally.
"I'm Jeremiah Wright 'cuz I'm the preacher; I got a bookish look and you're all hot for teacher," Poehler rapped as actors dressed as Eskimos, Palin's husband, Todd, and a caribou pranced across the stage.

Yes she is gorgeous. I thought she was cute and funny. She showed she is a good sport and like McCain, she can laugh at herself. I thought they all treated her with respect, except that stupid bimbo Tina Fey. When you see the two of them together, Sarah is much prettier. Shes wholesome and Tina Fey looks like a skinny idiot.
What’s up with Josh Brolin?
Did he get a head transplant? He looks like a big midget.
Isn’t he the same guy who did the James Bond role for a while?...
Marking to watch again later.
LOL. The moose at the end... Too funny!
Loved the moose at the end.
They had fake snow as well!
I cannot imagine who would go to see ‘W.’ or why.
Yet another home run from the most awesome woman in political history.
Yes to all of that.
Great stuff.
Really glad to hear that. They always say "keep them wanting to come back for more". If they want more of Sarah they will have to end up voting McCain/Palin!
I pray for all the Baldwins when I think of Stephen. I am sure that Steve loves his brothers and prays for them. The Lord is able!
The Huffington post people are unbelievable. They hate her so much for one reason only, she’s a potential threat to their candidate. They also absolutely live on a hearty diet of self delusion.
I thought Sarahcuda was great...and drop-dead gorgeous.
Odd that there was no real skit with her and Tina Fey together. They only walked past each other at the beginning (I guess that was their skit together).
Sarah manages to combine a tough competitive nature with a charming and graceful temperament. Television cameras, live audiences, millions of viewers...nothing fazes her.
Sarah has some sort of energy; hard to describe, but you certainly feel it. At the risk of sounding cornball, there is something about Sarah that makes people feel better about themselves. To have this sort of influence on a national level could bring about another Reagan-like revolution: renewed confidence, both economically and politically.
We need her in the White House.
As others have mentioned above, the rest of SNL was abysmal. It’s been many a year since I watched it; I seem to remember that at one time, it was actually funny.
Don't think so...you might be thinking of Pierce Brosnan or Timothy Dalton.
Useless trivia - Josh is dad to Alice Adair's children...some may remember her as Ronny Cox's daughter Jan Bogomil in BH Cop 2...and he is stepfather to current wife Diane Lane's child.
I barely saw it, but at the very end of the show, it looked like someone gave her a big bear hug...I couldn't tell who, because the show went off right away. It used to run through all the credits, but not tonight.
You are right, she really is an amazing woman. I hope that she and Senator McCain can close the deal in a few weeks. I'd love to see the meeting between Lynn Cheney and Sarah, as well as Todd Palin and VP Cheney...comparing hunting notes...
I had tried to watch SNL after the debates to see what they did with them. I found the show so offensive not to mention boring and predictable in a nasty sort of way that I had to turn it off. I wrote them a letter to tell them what I thought. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it tonight even with Sarah on it. I thought I would watch it on youtube only for the first time my sound suddenly isn’t working. I watched some of it with no sound and Sarah looked good. I betcha that the people on SNL were more alive acting with her on than they had been in a while. Their left wing immoral lives really are uninspiring. Sarah brought a little life into their program.
Whats up with Josh Brolin?
Did he get a head transplant? He looks like a big midget.
Isnt he the same guy who did the James Bond role for a while?...
Are you talking about “W”? or are you confusing him with Mark Walberg who was on SNL?
That was Casey Wilson, a featured performer this year. I noticed that she jumped up and down excitedly and pointed at Sarah when Brolin mentioned her name, then ran up to her smiling and gave her a big hug. Maybe she's one of the people Lorne Michaels referred to obliquely when he said that not everyone on the show is a liberal. This is from the Personal Life section of her Wikipedia entry (maybe she takes after her dad):
"Wilson was born in Alexandria, Virginia, along with her brother Fletcher Todd, an engineer. She is a graduate of T. C. Williams High School, NYU Tisch School of the Arts and studied at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. Her father, Paul O. Wilson, is a political consultant and runs campaigns for moderate Republicans.
Her late mother, Kathy Wilson, was chair of the National Women's Political Caucus, and attended her last Republican National Convention in 1980, while pregnant with Casey. Under her leadership, the NWPC endorsed Walter Mondale in the 1984 election, and Kathy eventually switched to the Democratic Party."
