Amy & Tina Do Hillary & Sarah To Hilarious, Depressing Effect [Clips]
newVideoPlayer("/FeyPoehler_Jez.flv", 506, 423,""); As predicted by many, Tina Fey appeared alongside Amy Poehler in the cold open for this weekend's season premiere of SNL. The two — appearing as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton — delivered a message about sexism, an issue, Poehler/Clinton noted, "I'm surprised to hear people suddenly care about." Not surprisingly, the sketch, seen above, was both funny and painful because the things coming out of Fey's mouth were not so dissimilar to the boneheaded th

Phelps' Midas Touch Intact
Viewers didn't seem to mind Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton - portrayed hilariously by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - in lieu of Barak Obama (The real one!) on SNL's season premiere on Saturday. The 34th season opener, hosted by golden boy Michael Phelps, debuted Sept. 13th with a 7.4 rating/18 share in the metered markets. That's the highest local-market average for an SNL season premiere since 2001 and an increase of 64% from one year earlier on Sept. 29th with a 4.5/11. Let's hope the voting booths expe

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL (Full Video - NBC)
John McCain adviser Carly Fiorina called comedian Tina Fey “sexist” and “disrespectful” Monday in response to Fey’s impression of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Saturday Night Live.

McCain Camp: Tina Fey Is 'Sexist'
In response to Tina Fey's genius Sarah Palin impression on this weekend's Saturday Night Live (at right), McCain spokeswoman Carly Fiorina called Fey's portrayal "sexist" and "disrespectful." You know what? That's totally fair, because SNL never makes fun of any other political candidate. Oh wait… Fiorina went on to say that "just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance." Fair enough — so w

McCain Camp Slams Tina Fey as "Sexist"
She continued "of course, the portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial." Fey returned to SNL on Saturday, where she and Amy Poehler who played Hillary Clinton delivered a special "non-partisan message" at the opening of the show's season premiere. (Watch the sketch.) "Tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the c

Live! From New York! It's NOT Amy Poehler!
Amy Poehler, who is major league preggers, says she'll be leaving Saturday Night Live after the November election to give birth to her first child. Poehler, 37, just did one of the most popular skits ever on Saturday, playing Hillary Clinton next to Tina Fey's Sarah Palin. "It's gonna be really hard - Boys II Men hard - to say goodbye to yesterday," Amy says in the latest issue of Men's Vogue.

Palin Approves Of Fey's Impersonation

Her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt says, "She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dres

‘SNL’ Premiere Could’ve Been Even Worse

According to Tom Shales, Barack Obama had been scheduled to appear but canceled Friday night because he didn’t think it was appropriate to do the show in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. Chuck Norris was supposed to be on

There was some speculation last week as to whether Fey would return to SNL to play Palin…and
