Video of John McCain’s Saturday Night Live Sketches
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Last night, John McCain - with the help of his wife - hit Saturday Night Live and left no comedic stone unturned.
In the senator’s first sketch, he and Tina Fey gave their version of the Barack Obama infomercial. Acknowledging they did not have the Democratic dollars, McCain and “Palin” aired their spot on QVC. During their promo, they addressed the cost of Sarah’s expensive wardrobe and the caliber of their Hollywood supporters (Jon Voight, Heidi Montag). The Alaska governor also momentarily went rogue and talked about her 2012 run.
In the Republican nominee’s second sketch (which can be seen after the jump), he brought up the most overused word of 2008: Maverick.

With less than 96 hours to go until Election Day, John McCain is prepared to take advantage of any press option available. And while he may lack the millions of dollars needed to buy several 30-minute infomercials, there is something he can always do for free: a Saturday Night Live appearance.

Apparently a World Series just isn’t a World Series if the two teams aren’t names people care about. Although the numbers weren’t horrible, the ratings for Game 2 fell behind several Thursday programs. By night’s end, CBS was on top again in both categories.
8pm
- Survivor: Gabon (13.4 million, 4.4/12 in 18-49) picked up 500,000.
- Approximately 12.8 million watched Game 2 of the World Series (8.1/13).
- Lindsay Lohan helped Ugly Betty (8.7 million, 2.8/8) round up 500,000 more.
- My Name is Earl (6.3 million, 2.4/7) was down 200,000; Kath & Kim (5 million, 2.2/6) fell by 1 million.
- Smallville (4.2 million, 1.7/5) was up slightly.

Will Ferrell Joins Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
What’s better than a Tina Fey cameo on Saturday Night Live? A Palin sketch that also includes Will Ferrell.
On tonight’s special Thursday broadcast, the popular SNL alum made a surprise return to play the current POTUS. Not so coincidentally, Will is also prepping to bring his version of Bush to Broadway next year.
Was Ferrell’s visit really a shameless promotion for You’re Welcome America. A Final Night With George W. Bush? Who cares?
SNL Alum Not Amused By Sarah Palin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
After tons of hype and media attention, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin finally made an appearance (for real) on SNL. I would have rather just watched Tina Fey (who at least makes the wanna-be veep seem charming)…and apparently I’m not alone in that sentiment.
“Quite frankly, it’s a big mistake to let her go on,” said former Saturday Night Live regular and Weekend Update anchor Chevy Chase. “Apparently, she [Sarah Palin] cannot improvise herself out of a paper bag!” Or drooping polls.
