There are just three days left until the long awaited Election Day and still lots of things to do for John McCain, who made space in his busy schedule in order to appear on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” 

Following his opponent’s 30-minute campaign ad on Wednesday which was watched by over 33 million people, the Republican presidential candidate will try to entertain viewers and maybe draw some voters during tonight’s show. John McCain’s campaign confirmed on Friday that the Arizona senator would show up for the late-night program, which has represented a vital political show throughout the presidential campaign season.

John McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, has been an usual guest on “Saturday Night Live,” even if impersonated by comedienne Tina Fey. After boosting audiences for the NBC program with her impression of the Alaska governor, the “30 Rock” creator lured the real Sarah Palin into the show. She made an appearance on “Saturday Night Live” some two weeks ago and helped the program earn its highest ratings in 14 years.

Although rumors have been circulating regarding a Barack Obama cameo on tonight’s show, they were not confirmed. However, we wouldn’t be bothered by a satirical debate between the two. Not at all, actually. The episode will be hosted by actor Ben Affleck, a public supporter of the Democratic presidential contender.

John McCain, 72, who is usually imitated by Darrell Hammond on “SNL,” made his last appearance on the show in May, when he joked about his own age, saying: “I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president? Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old.”

In addition, the Republican presidential candidate was the host of “SNL” approximately six years ago, when he made fun of Barbra Streisand’s political views by singing a mixture of her hits.

I wonder how John McCain tries to turn the odds in his favor tonight, live from New York.
