Governor Palin wowed the crowd as she arrived on the "red carpet" for Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary 3-hour special.
She stopped on the "red carpet" to talk with actor Alec Baldwin, quipping that she likes his brother, Stephen –a conservative– better. NBC anchors Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer intereviewed the two of them, and it may be me, but it seemed as though Baldwin was doing his best to keep Gov. Palin from talking. After Guthrie asked her a direct question, Baldwin was forced to listen, while chomping on his gum (or could it have been leftover food from dinner?)
Twitchy caught some of the action on Twitter, where some scoffed at the dress Governor Palin was wearing because it may have been one Bristol has worn (as Taylor would say: "haters gonna hate hat hate"). Others opined that she was "killin’ that dress." Afterall, I doubt not many Moms can wear their 24-year old daughter’s dress and look fantastic.
Inside the studio, Governor Palin was seated next to Taylor Swift (2011 Country Music Entertainer of the Year, and other awards). By the looks of the photos chosen to accompany an article, it seemed as though some in the media tried to suggest that Taylor wasn’t happy about the seating arrangments. Of course, the media is known for contorting anything (read: Brian Williams) if it will make a headline or drive clicks to their site.
Best-selling author, Brad Thor, who moved from Chicago to Tennesee to escape the high taxes of liberal Illinois, gave a shout-out to Gov. Palin:
Breitbart has a nice recap of her appearance, which was part of a segment where comedian Jerry Seinfeld takes questions from the audience –beginning with longtime actor Michael Douglas, and ending (at the 6-minute mark) with a question from "Tina" –oh, wait. Seinfeld corrected himself, "Governor Palin.
“How much do you think Lorne Michaels would pay me if I were to run in 2016?”
“I don’t think there’s a number too big,” Seinfeld replied.
“What if I were to choose Donald Trump as my running mate?” Palin asked.
“Sarah, you’re teasing us, that’s not nice,” Seinfeld joked.
Not sure why, but some media outlets (Hollywood Reporter, Yahoo) claimed the Governor was making a "surprise" appearance. News about Lorne Michael and the Saturday Night Live team inviting her appeared in People magazine and other outlets on February 4.
No doubt, there will be more to follow. As of this writing, neither the Governor nor Taylor Swift had not sent any messages out via her social media platforms.
We watched some of this tonight, hubby might have watched more since I fell asleep. The dress is OK, but I seriously hate the shoes.
Me too, but I'm OLD!
The muskrat handbag is a nice touch.
The show brought back memories....liked seeing the old skits - Bass-O-Matic and Garrett Morris yelling for the hearing impaired....& Chevy Chase...
this was a good shot at Fow News: http://youtu.be/k_oYV-o68L4?t=1m11s
I remember sneaking down stair when I was 8 to watch it after a friend told me about it...the first crew...and I grew up with that cast watching their movies....wow! How time flies by...
Has nothing to do with age. Gladiator-style sandals look terrible on anyone except a gladiator.
LOL. Thanks sweet you.
Some truths about the a##clown
1)he never wrote a book
2)he lies about everything
3)he got his senatorship by default
4)he’s done nothing and passed nothing as a senator
5)he’s never been in business, held a real job or knows what it’s like to be an American
You're right.
And I'm sick to death of hearing him say "that's not who we are," when in fact, he hasn't a clue "who we are!"
Oh, and what’s this GSP? Is that Governor Sarah Palin? Because for those of us in Jersey it’s always going to be Garden State Parkway!
Who’s the MMA guy? He is an MMA guy, right?
Yeah, George St. Pierre. He’s currently retired.
He was a main bad guy in Captain America: Winter Soldier.
He looks like he could kick some serious b*tt. He looks like he’d make a good bad guy.
I’m sure in real life he’s a big mush and loves kittens and puppies! Well, I hope he does, anyway.
Where was Dennis Miller?
Is Todd Palin not the luckiest man alive?
Fact #7: Facts #21-6 don’t matter, because the damage is done.
