Sarah Palin made a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live this week, and though her parts were small, she proved to have a great sense of humor about herself.
The republican vice presidential candidate first showed up in the opening portion of the show, behind the scenes with Lorne Michaels as they watched Tina Fey play Palin in a press conference sketch. After all the ribbing she's taken on the show, Palin did get one little dig in at Fey, if indirectly. Palin asked Michaels why they couldn't do a 30 Rock sketch, and Michaels said, "Not enough people know the show."
Her second appearance was in the Weekend Update portion of the show, where she danced along (while seated) to Amy Poehler rapping about being vice president – the funniest part being the two Eskimo backup rappers and Jason Sudeikis dressed in a race suit as Palin's husband, Todd.
Palin wasn't the only guest star to appear in this week's episode, which was hosted by W. star Josh Brolin: Mark Wahlberg settled his score with Andy Samberg, Alec Baldwin got to meet Palin (after thinking she was Tina), calling her "hotter in person," while Oliver Stone plugged his movie, W., about the current commander in chief.
What did you think of Sarah Palin's performance? Did she win you over? Read our in-depth recap and weigh in now!

It’s been the 1st time i’ve watched SNL in months
You betcha'! ; )
I remember toasting a drink with her in person many years ago here in Wasilla.
I recorded SNL, I am about to watch it and skip everything else but the parts with Sarah.
It’s the WINK, stupid!! (no, not you... THEM)
Good plan. The bit with Sarah Palin and Alec Baldwin was the highligh of the show. Not that that is saying much. Anyone who wouldn't have tuned in except for Sara Palin definitely will not be back again soon.
I remember seeing the first one, John Anderson in 1980.
Obama just joked about Giuliani. McCain sang Streisand. Ralph Nader has been on several times.
Who else?

If nothing else I think Sarah would make one heck of a fine actress, she has such a timely spark about her like she can see the future in almost everything in life.
The real question is could she handle any full blown crisis like another 9/11?
I have absolutely no doubt she can, she is light years distant from Barry Hussein.
If anybody is swayed by watching SNL, well, that's sad. That explains everything.
Very cool...........
Yep. In Hollywood, they call it star quality.
wow the segment was great.....she did good
score for the team!
Sarah Pain is absolutely great!
Meant PALIN - Sorry Sarah!

She was good! Just the right amount of participation without going over the line. Loved her busting a groove to the rap music!
But I must say, I found myself howling over Kenan Thompson playing a hiphop French guy -- "Sarah Palin in da maison!" and shouting out "Zut alors!" followed by sexy dance moves. It was a stitch!
That Amy Poehler rap was the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Overall, I think it was a net plus for Sarah.
