Tina Fey continues to do God’s work by lampooning Sarah Palin for her old cronies at SNL. The Palin sketches just keep getting better and this weeks Veep debate between “Sarah Palin” and “Joe Biden” is brilliant by any standards. As much as I enjoy these skits, I’ll be happier when there is no longer a need for them. Watch and enjoy!
I missed the opening sketch on SNL’s season premiere last night. And that was unfortunate as it was apparently the ONLY thing worth laughing at. I watched the entire program and there was nothing else remotely funny. Luckily there was another episode from 2004 on E! (Christina Aguilera and Maroon 5) - that was a funny episode.
The writers didn’t know what to do with Michael Phelps. He may swim like a fish, but he’s not much of an actor/comedian. Easy answer - it would have been hysterical if they had come up with a show full of skits that required him for a variety of reasons to be in a speedo or towel. As it was they dorked him up a bit too much and tried to keep him from talking. They had a whole summer off and THIS is all they came up with? I admit the Palin/Clinton sketch was golden - but why not make the REST of the show funny too? I just kept thinking REALLY? This is it?
