I wonder if Tina is going to be on tonight's show as Sarah Palin.... or if they'll give Casey a shot at it.

I just noticed that NBC removed the image of Obama from the main page of NBC.com, but didn't replace it with anything else.

Gina Gershon played her well in the funnyordie skit.

I like Casey

Can't wait for Kings of Leon on it.

Like someone said in a previous thread, I hope they have a Penelope skit with her trying to one-up Phelps.

"In light of the unfolding crisis in Texas, Senator Obama has decided it is no longer appropriate to appear on Saturday Night Live tomorrow evening," Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki explained in a statement issued late Friday night.

Tina Fey might have an SNL job for 8 years.

"You were close ... and I am closer."

Yeah, Fey nailed that impression.

Michael Phelps looks like he was born with the first stage of giantism, but it ended really early.

And yes, Tina was great. I hope she continues in that role for as long as she's needed.

I haven't watched SNL in years, and I quickly remembered why. This whole episode has sucked so far.

It's official... I am in love with Tina Fey. She nailed Palin and the sketch itself was great. Then the rest of the show went down the crapper. PLEASE put this show out of its misery.

Do they really think the sketches are funny? And even if they do, don't they understand they need to end after a minute or two, not go on for FIVE?!? The ugly, inept children bit only lasts so long.

On another note, is anyone else watching it in HD? I think they have their balance off, fronts are WAYYY quieter than the surrounds. I kept hearing weird echoes, too; makes me wonder if their sound engineer called in sick.
