Governor Sarah Palin makes cameo appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live

By ANDREW DONOVAN

NEW YORK, N.Y. (WKTV) - Live from New York, it's Governor Sarah Palin! The Vice Presidential candidate made a cameo appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live.

At the beginning of the show, Palin stood with Executive Producer Lorne Michaels watching Tina Fey impersonate the Governor in a mock press conference. Palin mentioned that she wished to impersonate Fey on her NBC show 30 Rock but Michaels responded that nobody watched that program. 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin came into the conversation, mistaking Palin for Fey and complained to Michaels that he should not let Tina Fey embarrass and demean herself by letting her portray the Governor and GOP Vice Presidential Candidate.

Sarah Palin then went out to the mock press conference and took it over from Fey's Palin where she refused to answer any more questions and delivered the classic opening line, "Live from New York, it's `Saturday Night."'

Later, in the show's class skit "Weekend Update," Governor Palin made an appearance but, in humor, refused to sing the song they intended. Amy Poehler, co-host of "Weekend Update," was forced to fill and sing a rap song with dancing Eskimos and moose, clearly mocking Palin's home-state of Alaska.

This country needs to get back some respect and dignity from the rest of the world. Such demonstrations by (candidates to be) "world leaders" only take us down to being even more of a joke to the rest of the world than we already are. This country has become one big circus and that is why our REAL problems go unsolved... and affect the entire globe. Time to "gro up" America...

Hope her acting was better than her knowledge of the necessary political policies to be Vice President of the United States. Cant wait to never see this nit-wit again after November 4th.....

did she demonstrate that she was fearless? She was a news anchor for goodness sake! She should be used to live television, especially with a script. That being said, it was amusing, but not enough to make me vote for her ticket.
