Queen Latifah To Spoof VP Debate On Saturday Night Live?
We don't know if Tina Fey will be back on Saturday Night Live this weekend as Sarah Palin, but if the show indeed spoofs tonight's vice presidential debate, at least one impersonator appears to be confirmed: Queen Latifah as moderator Gwen Ifill. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Latifah has signed on to play Ifill on this week's SNL if the show goes ahead with a debate sketch. It would seem like a no-brainer until you actually watched the debate, which would be best described as "a

Debate Reaction: Debating Ifill
After a busy week, including a broken ankle and something the cablers may have touched on about a book, Gwen Ifill moderated last night's vice presidential debate. How'd it go? Some reaction: • The Los Angeles Times' James Rainey labels Ifill a "true journalist" in his story's headline. "Gwen Ifill of PBS demonstrated abundant dignity as referee of the much-anticipated debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden," he writes. Rainey brought up the issue with her upcoming book, and wrote, "Regardless of

Hillary Clinton: Palin "Composed, Effective" During Debate
Hillary Clinton is weighing in on Thursday's vice presidential debate. In a phone interview Friday on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, she said, "[Democratic Sen.] Joe Biden was great. He put forward a flawless performance. I, like probably everybody else watching, was so moved by the authentic grief that caught in his throat when he talked about his own personal experience." (During the debate, Biden got choked up while recalling a car accident that killed his wife and daughter and injured his sons.)

Queen Latifah on Tap to Play SNL Debate Monitor?
Will they or won't they? "Saturday Night Live" has been on a high with Tina Fey's killer Sarah Palin impersonations, now word comes that Queen Latifah may be part of the next skit -- if there is one. Although they won't confirm, an SNL rep tells ET that "if" they do a debate sketch this weekend, they say the Queen will be there.

French Paper Mistakes Tina Fey for Sarah Palin
Photo: Courtesy of NBCHow accurate is Tina Fey's impression of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin? Good enough to fool the French newspaper Le Soleil, which accidentally published a still from last week's episode of Saturday Night Live as an official shot of the Alaskan governor on Wednesday. Le Soleil printed an apology for the error yesterday. It's a funny mistake, but since we often have trouble distinguishing Darrell Hammond's impression of Bill Clinton from the real deal, we can em

The latest to join the Emmy winning show is actress Salma Hayek, who has been signed up for a two-episode stint at the behest of Tina Fey. Apparently Ms. Fey wanted Ms. Hayek so badly that she called the actress personally to get her to sign on.

The biggest losers? Network pundits
The vice presidential debate scheduled for last night didn't happen -- at least not as envisioned by media observers with their characteristic mix of glee and dread. Republican candidate Sarah Palin spoke in clear, concise sentences that mostly made sense, and if she didn't answer all the questions posed to her, at least she didn't tell the moderator that she'd "have to get back to ya." Neither did Democrat Joe Biden ramble or froth, mention the fictional televised speeches of FDR or accidentally call th

Joe Biden: “I’m On Record As Taking All Sides”
The question I wanted to hear Joe Biden answer at Thursday’s debate was this one: Joe, did you know that you were once the guest speaker on the Saddam Radio Network? In January of 1991, when I was an Army lieutenant, I unfolded myself from the shotgun seat of a deuce-and-a-half truck possibly left over from the Korean War and stumbled around my unit’s newest home, which was, like all previous homes, some unknown point somewhere in the sandbox of Saudia Arabia. Several times we packed everything and dro
