If you’re among those who speculate that the only thing better than Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live” would be Sarah Palin making a cameo on the show, there might be hope yet.
If the buzz is to be believed, the NBC show is working to get the vice-presidential candidate and Alaska governor on air before the election Although “Saturday Night Live,” like many other shows, doesn’t comment specifically on bookings, a rep said, “There are always talks with the candidates' camps.”
There’s also some buzz about Palin making an appearance on “The View.”
Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain have both made appearances, and “View” executive producer Bill Geddie says, “‘The View’ has established itself as a place to be seen for both the presidential and VP candidates, their wives and/or husbands and they all have an open invitation to appear on the show.’”

Please, Sarah, don’t go one “The View”! It will only boost that pitiable show’s ratings.
If done right, an appearance on SNL could go over very well (ie spoofing Tina Fey as a celebrity).
The View? F that.
Yes... Sarah please do not go on “the view”, those witches do not deserve your company.
No to The View, although I would just Love to see Sarah rip them.
I just don’t want to give them the ratings.
Peace.
if she thought katie couric was wicked...she ain’t seen nothin yet if she agrees to do the view
No to “The View” and I wouldn’t be opposed to slapping NBC and CBS with total embargos.
Fox gets prime access, then talk radio, then ABC, then everyone else can fight over what’s left of the time budgeted for media access.
Agree about the View but hey, at least for once they could deal with a guest who could give as good as she gets, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find some pointy-heel spike marks down a few backsides after her segment is over.
Agree with NO on The View.
Just being in the same room with those women would be toxic.
Don’t want Sarah near them.
First, what would McCain/Palin gain by doing that?
Second, Sarah Palin doesn't owe either show anything but contempt.
No Saracuda, stay away. You will gain nothing.
This could be fun....
Why does our side continue to dignify these loser shows like SNL and The View by appearing on them? They will ALWAYS be against our side, so you gain nothing by going on there. But you help the opposition significantly because the appearance lends political credibility to people who should not have any. It’s the same argument the Republicans correctly use about not meeting with foreign enemies like the Iranian midget, but they miss the similar point here. The Republican ‘leadership’ is a collection of complete clowns, and they have allowed a Marxist, anti-American nobody to be leading the Presidential race with a month to go. Unbelievable, and unforgiveable incompetency.
Yes to SNL, no to the View. Those bats (save Elizabeth) can go pound sand.
Sarah Palin must NOT go on The View. Why line Barbara Walter’s pockets while entering a 4-on-1 trap where she will be grilled on Olbermann talking points?
Ping! Whatever people say about Sarah, it’s never, ever ‘boring’.
[Want off my unreliable ping list? Please feel free to cuss me out. Want on my ping list? Just ‘ax’.]
No... The View is a bunch of Pigs..minus Elizabeth Hassleback, the Pigs always talk over Elizabeth. If Sarah Palin were to go up against those Women... all Jackasses, she would just look silly with Jackass spit all over her.
Twin sisters skit?

Don’t go on the View....they jump all over Elizabeth, they jumped all over McCain. Not ever worth it...you did your debate performance perfectly, ride the wave now.
It would be kind of funny to see Palin and Fey do some kind of mirror routine.
An SNL appearance would be a plus for Sarah. Going on The View, however, would be like touring a pig farm.
I think going on SNL proves you have a sense of humor about it all. And with Palin’s resemblance to Fey it could be pretty funny to see the spoofing go the other way.
Don’t know how much could be gained by going on The View, other than proving she isn’t scared of anyone no matter how hateful.
SNL is good idea. I trully think Lorne Michaels (the producser and a longtime Hillary supporter) resurected Hill in the primaries by her cameo appearances (and by the scathing debate skit...'Sen. Obama, can we get you a pillow?') Hillary came across as funny and Obama was made to look stuffy...and the media orgasmic over the slightest utterance of his (Chrissy Matthews and Campbell Brown were hit hard!).
Everytime McCain has been on (and its a few) he is given really good lines (and he has great timing/delivery). FWIW, Michaels has donated the maximum to the McCain campaign. I think Gov. Palin would be given a favorable light.
How about Gov. Palin dressing up as Tina Fey for Halloween (on SNL?)
I’m afraid my wink is nothing like Sarah’s. Not to mention, eh, I’m a guy.
Sarah, don’t waste your time giving either of these two idiot shows any credibility. Nothing good will come of it for you or the GOP. Fire whoever in your staff suggested this. They are a mole.
Screw the View. But do SNL.
this is my sister Sarah and this is my OTHER sister Sarah! Hmm
Doesn’t George Foreman have six sons all named George?
I agree; Sarah should NOT go on the View.
Who watches the View, anyway, except brain-dead, idle liberals? I actually work for a living, so I never can watch it anyway.
Im still laughing at the guy who did Biden, esp when he talked about being from Scranton, PA, the “hell-hole”. No wonder he’s in hibernation...That was really funny.
I could see Gov. Palin spoofing Fey’s credit card commercial, where she is taking charge of a bunch of weird issues (Where do we deliver the sled dogs? No, no, the lipstick goes on the pig’s LIPS) and then being told that the government just tried to charge $700 billion to her account.
Thanks, I was wondering what happened to the ‘Pics rules’ here for awhile there!
Sarah is so much better looking that Fey..it might backfire of Fay in HDEF.
She shouldn’t do it..I don’t think she has much to gain and Fay really hates Sarah. She shouldn’t even consider the View..not now and not ever if she is VP.
She needs to remain an OUTSIDER.
I disagree with going on SNL. It is not her being unable to have fun, etc. This would have been great last month or so. Right now, Johnny is falling far behind in all polls. He is going on the leftist pit with Letterman and she is going on SNL? What is his campaign staffers thinking? Both of them need to be spending time in ohhh, Ohio, Fla, and all the other Battle Ground States that are key to a victory. If the election was won by popular vote, then ok go on the shows with 3 weeks remaining. But with the Electorial College, they had better take off the gloves, stop talking about Iraq and tell the undecided what they are going to do for the Economy not go on television shows
I agree. I cannot stomach Tina Fey, now that I know her views. She now comes across as hateful than funny.
She has NOTHING to gain going on either shows. NOTHING. She already has suffered from the characatures of her.
But the guy doing Biden, now that was funny.
I would have nothing to do with them keep your eye on the prize.After the Dude being made a child molester albeit in a skit making fun of the media still not cool.
They can introduce Weekend Update with Tina Fey. And Palin comes out, imitates Fey, and reads the news. I think she has experience reading the news anyway.
I sent an e-mail using the comment section of the Palin web site suggesting this as soon as I saw the resemblance. Palin should spoof Tina Fey from one of her “30 Rock” episodes.
Sarah, don’t go on “The View!” Those jealous hags would go straight for your jugular. That is just another version of Oprah’s show, which I hope you won’t ever go on, either. You’re too good for the lot of them.
That would be hilarious!
For what it’s worth, I love Tina Fey’s impersonation of Palin! That line about global warming “just being God hugging us closer” had me in stitches. Sure it’s a liberal show, but it’s comedy. Take it for what it is.
What would be funny would be Palin as Tina Fey and Fey as Palin.
Giving The Spew any credibility would be a mistake on Sarah’s part. It is a worthless circle jerk of liberalism at its worst.
The View, no. There’s no point in going on with those hags to have lies, misrepresentations, and slander hurled at her. Unless she can effectively steal the show, they’ll just find something to soundbite about her visit to try to make her look bad.
SNL, absolutely. People love to see usually serious people like candidates come out of their skin and show an unexpected sense of humor. Obama has none whatsoever. Seriously, have you ever heard him crack a joke? McCain is hilarious whenever he’s on SNL. If Sarah would go on and have as much fun with it as possible, that’d help the campaign more than anything else. I bet she’d be great; they should let her host in fact. Their ratings would be massive, and they can’t deny that.
Don't hold your breath on that, I'd be willing to bet money that Fey despises Sarah. She really didn't want to come back to SNL, but Lorne Michaels persuaded her with a bucketfull of money, and the chance to do something to bury the McCain-Palin ticket by ridiculing it.
The best way to deal with that ridicule is to roll with it, the American public appreciates a candidate who's willing to laugh at themselves. As for the View, that coven would be a dangerous place to be, but if you won't go into that lion's den, how can you say you'd go into the presidency?
The base has been bucked up by the unfair criticism that Sarah's taken from the insects at the margins of the media. Perhaps the bonbon eating crowd who have time to watch daytime TV would benefit from seeing it, as well.
I think it would be neat for Gov Palin to do an Amx commercial, like checking in at a hotel but the clerk doesn’t believe she’s the real deal and keeps acting like she is Tina Fey. Then she present her AMX card and the clerk “gets it.” Wouldn’t that be cute? Maybe we should see an older man step just slightly into the frame, and the clerk can look at him and “get” that it’s McCain. Sounds fun. But, I’m just a political news junkie.
The majority of those who can manage to sit through one entire daily show of The View hold the same viewpoint of the "stars" (cough-cough). Elisabeth Hasselbeck is window dressing on an otherwise Leftist show. She must be paid a bundle for that. What other reason could there possibly be in the real world?
