Tina Fey reprised her impression of Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live" while hosting the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday night. It was Fey's first performance as the former Alaska governor since her iconic impressions during the 2008 presidential campaign when Palin was the Republican vice presidential candidate.
Fey appeared as Palin in a sketch introducing a mock "Sarah Palin Network," satirizing Palin's entry into media. Palin recently launched the program "Real American Stories" on Fox News Channel and will soon begin production on "Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-part series for TLC.
Appearing as Palin in a leather jacket with an American flag pin, Fey introduced a lineup of shows like "Tea Party Wheel of Fortune" (the puzzle read "Obamar is a terrist"), "Are You Smarter than a Half-Term Governor?" and "30 Main Street," a parody of her own "30 Rock."
Other fake shows included "Hey Journalist, I Gotcha," in which Palin re-edited interviews to make it look like her interviewers - like CBS' Katie Couric - were "woefully unprepared." Also touted was a spinoff starring husband Todd Palin (played on "SNL" by cast member Jason Sudeikis) as a renegade police officer transferred from Alaska to New York.

I saw it, it wasn’t funny. But then, SNL seldom is.
OUT TO TEAR HER DOWN AGAIN.
I doubt it will get a lot of traction for her
I’d rather have a digit exam than watch SNL.
Tina’s impression was even worse this time around....It’s like she didn’t even try to improve...she just slapped on her same tired accent and dressed the part. Sarah Palin has improved herself and shown herself more adept I can’t say the same for Tina Fey.
Ground control to Tina Fey

Shut your cake hole and kindly go away
Ground control to Tina Fey
I didn’t even know this was on and wouldn’t have bothered to watch it even if I did. And from what I’ve heard today, it pretty much sucked.
Tina Fey, “Hey look at me I’m over here hey look over here”.
I didn’t know either, and like you, I wouldn’t have watched.
The dumber the buffoons try to portray Palin to be, the brighter she looks in person.
Thanks dingbats.
Yawn ... of course the MSM will play this up like it’s the greatest thing ever.
I thought the skit saying that the Devil trained all the Walgreens cashiers was funny.
But then...that might be an inside joke for all of us that frequently shop there.
Not funny atall!
tina used to be a funny writer and SNL shows the lack of talent now.... in a way I feel sorry for Tina - she has to work with alec all week long....I wonder if he shows the same rude behavior toward her that he does to his own daughter?
That’s her only ONLY “talent” basically. same ole crap..over and over again and the Obama jock-sniffers in the AP are ready to oblige..
Its getting pretty darn lame and so apparently obvious why they want to attack Sarah Palin, she has the hearts and minds of America.
Obama is losing his.
Tina Fey doesn’t even come close to being as attractive as Sarah. Fey really suffers by comparison. Sarah meanwhile (if we’re talking appearance which I am) has never looked better than her last appearance at the SLC thing the other day, gorgeous. Tina Fey comes across kind of weak.
I watched the skit. It was mildly funny, but nothing great. Tina Fey has nothing on the real Sarah Palin.
