“SNL” And Tina Fey’s Palin: You Can’t Have One Without The Other

Let’s come clean, shall we? Whenever we see Gov. Sarah Palin on TV, attending an interview, a show or just about any public convention, we become even more eager to see Saturday night’s Tina Fey wearing the square glasses we all got used to and that funny, unforgettable accent while playing in a sketch or two that lampoon the incredibly famous Republican vice presidential candidate and her brand new adventures on her way to the election.

No Sarah Palin interview is completely over until the “Saturday Night Live” cast members come back with their entertaining responses. And Tina Fey’s perfect impersonation of John McCain’s running mate, which includes echo-like representations plus a bit of magical mockery touch, is more than just a flawless piece of comedy that lent “Saturday Night Live” a hand in obtaining its highest season-premiere ratings in seven years.

In addition to this, people who can’t tune in for the show over the weekend are able to watch the videos online and they do not hesitate to do so. Tina Fey’s earliest couple of Sarah Palin skits lured more than 5 million viewers on the Web within the first 48 hours since they were added, according to “SNL.”

Is it too late for Republican presidential nominee John McCain to choose another running mate? Sarah Palin may have avoided making memorable gaffes during Thursday’s face-to-face debate with Joseph R. Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, but she did make some minor mistakes from time to time, while talking more about herself than about John McCain’s or George W. Bush’s policies. She managed to pass up some questions, but nevertheless spoke lithely and self-assuredly, at least better than in the disastrous CBS interviews with Katie Couric. And no, she did not mention her impressive experience with foreign affairs and the fact that she can see Russia from her Alaska bedroom window or balcony, whatever.

Rumor has it that Sarah Palin herself will make an appearance on “Saturday Night Live” so as to throw everything back at Tina Fey. Who knows? Maybe it’s mere gossip or perhaps Ms. Palin had enough jokes before election time. However, we have to admit she is one famous lady. And “SNL” ratings would boost in a sec.

Saturday’s “Weekend Update” sketch saw Tina Fey in her well-known Palin shoes, of course, “SNL” usual cast member Jason Sudeikis as Barack Obama’s running mate Joseph R. Biden and the amazing Queen Latifah as the moderator of the much talked about debate, Gwen Ifill.

None of them escaped the spoof.

The most spectacular was, however, Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin, who learned a brand new word and went all-out in order to show everybody that she had broadened her vocabulary. While she winked and smiled to the audience, she kept on saying that she and John McCain were a couple of Mavericks. M-word here, M-word there, and the sketch was almost over. A noteworthy comment from the fictional Ms. Palin was her innovative and idealistic definition of marriage. “I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers,” Fey’s vice presidential candidate said. Well, well, well. Don’t you dare relate the affirmation with Bristol! See? I can read your thoughts.
