Full Version: saturday night live
I heard Mr Obama is going to be on SNL tonight, Tina Fey is also gonna be there. Do you think she will do a Sarah Palin skit with Obama? Do you think whatever happens tonight is gonna end up in a Obama bashing series of comercials for the next week? Will McCain twist everything that gets done tonight? Will it hurt or help Obama?

i think this is a brilliant move for Obama. if mccain does try to twist it, he'll be labeled as a whiner, with no sense of humor. which would not translate well to the populace.
Obama cancels but Tina will play Palin! 
Tina Fey was “likely” to play Gov. Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live,” said a person close to NBC’s sketch comedy show.
Fey is “likely” to return to her former show Saturday to play the Alaskan governor and Sen. John McCain’s running mate, a person close to the show told The Associated Press on Friday night. The person requested anonymity because the decision has not been announced officially. No further details were available.
Since Palin’s entry onto the national political stage, speculation had been rampant over who might play Palin on the program. Many have commented that Fey resembles her.
In an interview earlier this week with The AP, “SNL” executive producer and creator Lorne Michaels said, “The whole world cast her in that role.”
The final decision went down to the last minute, apparently. “SNL” premieres Saturday evening with Michael Phelps as host. An appearance had been planned by Sen. Barack Obama, but his campaign said early Saturday that the Democratic nominee for president was canceling.
Fey was a cast member and writer — including a stint as head writer — for “SNL” for nine years before leaving in 2006 to star in “30 Rock,” which is also produced by Michaels. On Tuesday, Michaels said that should Fey play Palin, she was unlikely to remain in the part in the long-term, which depending on the election results, could be for four years or longer.

why? what is he thinking?
SNL sucks. It was great in its day, but now you have to be damn near brain dead to watch that crap. Eddy Murphy was the last of the greats to be on that show. Dana was funny, but there was something about SNL that just knocked the wind out of you back then. They knew how to hit you in the gut and make you pay for listening all week. Every where you went, they were talking about Mr Bill or, what Rosanna said. Mr Rogers Neighborhood was insane.

According to the scroll on CNN, it was because of Ike. Probably a good idea. Doesn't want to be shown having a big time while many are suffering. Remember Bush & McSame during Katrina?
Yeah he canceled, and that was a good move, wait a couple of weeks.

Adam Sandler's show sucked. Chris Farley was funny when he left and made his movies. The others are nobody's that promote a dead show. The show is sooo forced, they try to do what the original prime time players did. Not even close.
In living Color was the next best thing to come along. The show got killed because of political crap, so the members went their own ways and became superstars.
SNL targets a markedly different demographic in this FCC-strangled post-YouTube age than it did in its post-Watergate inception, and reaches a different headset, quite efficiently. It's become a kind of Groundlings East/MTV roundup/Top Attraction of the Week showcase. The septuagenarian mater didn't watch after Gilda's departure, for all of the 80s and 90s. Since the advent of Shrub, she increasingly doesn't miss SNL. Obama was wise to withdraw in the wake of Ike. Sad, because millions will tune in to see Michael Phelps, but if Barack's not on the premises then La Fey can go for the moose jugular without fueling more lipstick smears by association.

Just to highlight one of the BEST lines of the skit: "I invite the media to GROW A PAIR, and if you can't, I'll lend you MINE."
LOLOLOLOL!!!! OH my gawdess....what a CLASSIC....and yes - Tina Fey hit it OUT OF THE PARK!!!!
Great comedy always provides the best reflection of the Truth.

I'm not at all a fan of Pohler (sp?) but thought it was hilarious. Not that her performance had ANYTHING to do with any kind of effort to mimic Clinton as Fey did Palin - she didn't. But the writing for her part was excellent, and I thought she performed it exceptionally well. Some of the timing was classic.
I mean, the reading on the line about, "Yes, If I had it all to do over again, the one thing I might do would be to WANT it more than I did..." Wonderful.
But Pohler has always reminded me of the one barely-talented but obnoxiously eager girl in every theater company and comedy crew, the one who is simultaneously desperate for everyone's approval and working too hard for it, and so is too loud, too raucous and almost out of control. (Me, I've been the smug, pipe-smoking snob who thinks it's the audience's problem if they don't laugh at my jokes that's in every theater company.)
Tina was awesome and nailed it. 
I think things went downhill fast after their intro. Michael Phelps stunk it up big time.

FEY AS PALIN: "Good evening, my fellow Americans. I was so excited when I was told Senator Clinton and I would be addressing you tonight."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And I was told I would be addressing you alone."
FEY AS PALIN: "Now I know it must be a little bit strange for all of you to see the two of us together. What with me being John McCain's running mate."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And me being a fervent supporter of Senator Barack Obama -- as evidenced by this button."
FEY AS PALIN: "But tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the campaign."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "An issue which I am frankly surprised to hear people suddenly care about."
FEY AS PALIN: "You know, Hillary and I don't agree on everything..."
POEHLER AS CLINTON [OVERLAPPING]: "Anything. I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy."
FEY AS PALIN: "And I can see Russia from my house."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "I believe global warming is caused by man."
FEY AS PALIN: "And I believe it's just God hugging us closer."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "I don't agree with the Bush Doctrine."
FEY AS PALIN: "I don't know what that is."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "But Sarah, one thing we can agree on is that sexism can never be allowed to permeate an American election."
FEY AS PALIN: "So please, stop photoshopping my head on sexy bikini pictures."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And stop saying I have cankles."
FEY AS PALIN: "Don't refer to me as a 'MILF.'"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And don't refer to me as a 'FLURJ.' I Googled what it stands for and I do not like it."
FEY AS PALIN: "So we ask reporters and commentators, stop using words that
diminish us, like 'pretty,' 'attractive,' 'beautiful.'"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "'Harpy,' 'shrew' and 'boner shrinker.'"
FEY AS PALIN: "While our politics may differ, my friend and I are both very
tough ladies. You know it reminds me of a joke we tell in Alaska ... "What's the
difference...
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Lipstick."
FEY AS PALIN: "... between a hockey mom ..."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Lipstick."
FEY AS PALIN: "... and a pitbull?"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Lipstick."
FEY AS PALIN [AFTER A BEAT]: "Lipstick. Just look at how far we've come. Hillary
Clinton, who came so close to the White House. And me, Sarah Palin, who is even
closer. Can you believe it, Hillary?"
POEHLER AS CLINTON [AFTER A PAUSE]: "I can not."
FEY AS PALIN: "It's truly amazing, and I think women everywhere can agree, that
no matter your politics, it's time for a woman to make it to the White House."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "No. Mine! It's supposed to be mine! I need to say
something. I didn't want a woman to be president. I wanted to be president, and
I just happen to be a woman. And I don't want to hear you compare your road to
the White House to my road to the White House. I scratched and clawed through
mud and barbed wire and you just glided in on a dog sled wearing your pageant
sash and your Tina Fey glasses."
FEY AS PALIN: "What an amazing time we live in. To think that just two years ago, I was a
small town mayor of Alaska's crystal meth capital. And now I am just one
heartbeat away from being president of the United States. It just goes to show
that anyone can be president."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Anyone."
FEY AS PALIN: "All you have to do is want it."
POEHLER AS CLINTON [LAUGHS]: "Yeah, you know, Sarah, looking back, if I could
change one thing, I should have wanted it more." [RIPS OFF PIECE OF PODIUM]
FEY AS PALIN: "So in the next six weeks, I invite the media to be vigilant for
sexist behavior."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Although it is never sexist to question female politicians
credentials. Please ask this one about dinosaurs. So I invite the media to
grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine."
FEY AS PALIN: And as we say in Alaska...
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "We say it everywhere..."
FEY/POEHLER: "Live from New York, it's 'Saturday Night!!!' "
