Sarah Palin does SNL!



I read 2 articles about Sarah Palin's appearance on SNL (Saturday Night Live) this Saturday and I was surprised at what they said. The first one was from The New York Observer and it said that SNL was very mean to Mrs.Palin. They say it didn't disappoint, but SNL was very harsh on Sarah Palin. They mocked Mrs.Palin, called her names, and made fun of her, WHEN SHE WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THEM! As you can see in the video at the top of this blog post they make fun of her when she is sitting next to them. Even then, she still doesn't look mad at all, she just goes along with it and waves her hands up in the air. The article says Palin did a great job and, "With Amy Poehler set to go on maternity leave following the election, perhaps America's favorite maverick has her next job lined up. ...". It was the highest-rated SNL in 14 years!!!!! In the 2nd article I read, from www.contactmusic.com, it talked about how Chevy Chase was laughing about Sarah's appearance on SNL. He thought it was a "BIG MISTAKE" to invite her on to the show.  Chevy said, "Quite frankly, it's a big mistake to let her go on. What was brilliant about (SNL producer) Lorne (Michaels) was that he had nothing written for Sarah and that apparently she cannot improvise herself out of a paper bag!". He said that she had her chance on the Weekend Update but did nothing. Chevy even believes it effected the McCain/Palin campaign badly. He says it was a very dumb idea on their part. Although it was very funny, I agree with Chevy Chase, it was a dumb idea on their part.

Hey Jason,

haha this is hilarious i'm glad to see you posted it on your blog (and that you're taking the time to actually read the articles about it...nice). I know though, I'm not sure if it was smart of her or not to appear on SNL....it's strange how much of an impact that can have on voters (seriously, i've seen everything from local news to The View comment on this). Regardless, how ridiculously close to Sarah Palin is Tina Fey? haha

Hey Kimberly,
haha I know it's crazy how much alike they look. I also have seen many T.V. media and other things comment about her being on SNL. I do think it hasn't helped her. She could have done a better job even though it was quite funny!
