Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin — SNL Video Clip
LIVE FROM NEW YORK…
SNL alum Tina Fey made her return to Saturday Night Live last night to spoof Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Fey’s former Weekend Update co-host Amy Poehler imitated Sen. Hillary Clinton.
With the accent, signature glasses and hair bun, Tina was pretty spot on.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Tina Fey’s impersonation of Sarah Palin — YAY or NAY?

Ok.
She did an outstanding job, it’s getting quite embarassing that Palin has become the pit of jokes.
:D tina even looks like palin!
Whoa Tina Fey really does look like Sarah Palin’s twin! Her and Amy Poehler are the best when they perform together.
Amazing !
Amy Poehler has never been better, and Fey looks so much like Palin.
Hysterical !
omg.
she actually looks like her.
i love them in baby mama
That was frigging awesome!
YAY!
FUNNY… LMAO!!!
“Media grow a pair” lol
AMAZING! The two are great perfoming togheter!
OMG - this is hilarious and impressive
omfg! hahahahahaha! sarah palin is like the biggest joke in america! its great!
she even has sarah palins annoying accent! priceless
HAHAHAHAHAHA! that is THE funniest thing i have ever seen!
‘boner shrinker!’ lmfao
or when ‘hillary’ goes off on that rant and ’sarah’ starts posing and does the fake gun thing omg haha this is TOO funny!
I can’t believe how much Tina Fey looks like Palin. It’s actually crazy. She even sounded like her!
NOOOOOHHHH!!! That’s soooo funny! Shame that Sarah Palin has been attacked like flies on $)-(1+…lol….I thought it was Sarah Palin at first then remembered everyone was rooting for Tina Fey to take on her character. That was great and yes, very funny.
I thought it was her at first, I didnt know sarah went on snl ;)
lol sounds just like her
The first moment I saw Sarah Palin, I immediately thought of Tina Fey and what a shame it was that she’s no longer on SNL. I’m SO happy they got her back to do this skit, she was SPOT ON!! LOL
The Bush Doctrine…”And I don’t know what that is.” Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Perfect skit :-)
Palin rules!!!
That was fantastic! What a laugh … although when I think about the real Sarah Palin, my laughter is mostly like ‘What the!!!!!’ Can Americans be for real considering this woman?????
OMG. i love tina fey!!
Go Hillary!!! Love you!
Go back to Alaska, Sarah Palin!
sara palin is a very scary power hungry fruitcake.
great article about palin in new york times. she is so scary

or go to msn.com under msnbc news on top right
What a crack-up! I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Tina Fey did a dead on imitation of Palin. Loved that shotgun loading pose. :lol: :lol:
Thanks Jared posting the vid.
Tina Fey was SO good at imitating that idiot from Alaska that I wasn’t sure if it wasn’t actually her!
Fey nailed her voice and mannerisms 100%.
Hilarious! Great work both Tina and Amy. They’re fantastic!
and you could see Amy’s baby bump ;D
#20 your right.
But haha was just sooo Funny!
She did a great job on that :D
yayyyyyyy
Amazing impersonations of Palin and Clinton! Totally HIL-arious…but, what’s even funnier is the amount of TRUTH revealed in this skit. Palin and Clinton can not be more different and this skit was a clear(albeit humorous)parody of what is indeed reality. Hopefully, the light bulb will finally go off in the minds of all the naive, apolitical, and ignorant who seem to “relate” to Palin…
#24 Jack
Thanks for that article - very intersesting reading!
Isn’t one of the strengths she likes to campaign on that she will shake up the good old-boy network? Well, I can see how she’ll do that - she’ll just replace them with her own good old-friends network!!
Now, ain’t that the type of change ya’ really want??? NOT!
That made the laugh the whole way through! Those two are awesome!
Great performance. That was very funny and so so true ! No way no palin, no mccain.
hilarious yes, as a comedy skit, but truly scary if she does become vp and probably president.
watch her scary interview with charles gibson…making decisions about war, “without blinking”….no when you decide to attack another country you need to blink, you need to stop and think about the consequences and the plan logically and with reason………mccain-palin will be 4 more years of bush-cheney war-mongering.
she is against abortion even in instances of rape and incest, wants to take polar bears of the endangered species list, tried to ban books from the local library, against stem cell research…the list of extremism goes on and on….
i don’t watch snl, but i just wonder if they did any skits about obama.
sarah palin is such a joke and i think it’s insane that americans are falling for mccain’s lies. mccain NEVER addresses the issues, just things like lipstick on a pig. it’s insane that we are in such a horrible place in america and this guy has the balls to talk about such trivial matters.
barack obama is trying to help, he cares and that’s why all of the world wants him to be the american president. too bad the rest of the world’s votes will not count. they are smart and know that whoever the president will be will affect the entire world.
i hope the stupid americans who think a hockey mom is qualified to be president because “russia and alaska are close” whaaaa??? and because she has a ******, (is such an insult to intelligent women, really), and doesn’t believe in global warming, tried to ban books… this woman is such a moron, it’s absurd she’s up for vp.
wake up america sara palin is onther bush and cheny
Excellent. Tina Fey was so spot on. Thanks for a very good laugh.
Hilarious! Tina Fey did a great impression of Palin.
Very funny and so true
Skit was hilarious but it’s also true!! The only thing Clinton and Palin have in common is that their both female! Their nothing alike!
And that skit made Palin look like a moron.
lmfao. tina is spot on.
Tina Fey
Best thing she has EVER done.
At first, I thought it was really Palin on SNL!
Fantastic
True
Scary
America
Make sure you are registered to VOTE
Obama 2008
please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palin and Clinton. perfect team. Obama sucks!
Tina Fey is the perfect person to spoof Sarah Palin and this skit is dead on perfect!! Hysterical.
Seriously, AMAZING!!!!!! Never laughed like this!!! Good job ladies! PEOPLE DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!! WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS WOMAN TO BE VP OF THE USA… Think before u vote!!!
The best part on SNL is their political humor. The rest of the show was not that good. Although Micheal P did good for a swimmer.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
That was awesome!! Tina Fey knows more about foreign policy than Palin. God Bless America if she is elected vice president.
# 41
She IS a moron
and why THEY ddn’t an OBAMA SKIT?……MCCAIN TOO……hmmmmmm….somebody is scared of sarah palin.wht about OBAMA his experience?…..is it not scary?………..oh wait he had a lot experience . he’s been listining to jeremiah wrights for 20 years, wow……..
obama has a lot of experience to be a president, YES THIS IS NOT A JOKE!……..anybody can be president . stupid show, why it has to be one sided…….. because HOLLYGOOD trying to shove on ur throat that obama has it all hands down as president, WHT A JOKE. i can not wait wht he will gonna do in the white house, i hope he won’t TURN it UPSIDE down. the people his dealing with are people w/ experience, i don’t know wht he gonna do. i wish, it was colin powell then i could be at ease. but this guy’s popularity is on the holllygood.i find it very funny lindsay and other’s saying palin is scary and a joke. how about obama , wht exactly he had as an experience tht would qualify him to be president?……speaking about scary, how bout obama’s friend or former family friend jeremiah wright, is he not scary racist?……oh yeah palin is rather scary. the fact she is not even running to president, i find it really funny. she must be overwhelmingly popular now that hollygood mr. cool obama.samantha ronson , shld go back to london where she belong and take lindsay lohan w/ her and the whole lohan family.
LOL this was too funny. I’m more afraid of obama becoming president than Palin though. He is a radical racist. Hi!!!
perfection!
HILARIOUS!! GO PALIN!! NOBAMA!!
That was funny.
AMAZING impersonations by both! Tina Fey was SPOT ON … accent and mannerisms were perfect. Let’s have more jokes about Palin … because she is a joke!
That was fantastic! Incredibly funny!
Is it really true tha more than 60 % of americans believe in the bible litteraly?
And that noah’s arc really existed? That man is on this earth only for 4000 years? How the hell can anyone with half a brain seriously believe in creacionism?
And that is OK and normal to have a gun with you or in your house? Ok, this last one can be explained for historical reasons, I conceed.
Please GOD, let not this crazy woman, bush wanna be, get to the white house. How can anyone still say that her sun is going to Iraq to revenge 9/11? Why not saudi arabia and company?
Don’t get me wrong, nothing against McCainn, only his butt kissing choise to the red necks evangelics.
The rest of the world is scared and transfixed with the possibility of it to happen. The latest polls do not look good…….. Didn’t we/you had enought this past 8 years?
The people who think Palin is “a joke” are the ones who are expecting hard working people to pay for your lazy !@# so you can sit at home and collect checks and not pay any taxes to support the other lazy@!$. If you want your politicians “doing lunch” with terriosts, trying to “talk it out’, then, yes, vote for NoBama. But I guess lazy people who sit home and watch tv all day do not know what it means to have to actually get up and fight for something, unless it’s fighting to keep their welfare check.
McCain/Palin ‘08
That’s a great video!!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!!!!!!!
http://mylifeiscrap.com
Wow Supporter racist much? Are you insinuating the people who think Palin is joke are lazy welfare collectors living off your hard earned taxes. I happen to think that Palin is a joke and McCain is a joke too for thinking the American people would not see it. I would rather my leaders use diplomacy or “lunch” than bomb “without blinking” anyday cause these are LIVES we are talking about. I’ve gotten off the couch to fight for something, like putting a responsible respectable leader in the Oval office.
Obama/Biden 08
LOVE IT!
Man, she has her pegged!! Perfect!!
Wonder if Palin will get it that Fey’s impersonation has Americans laughing at her?
HA! Spoken like a true uniformed republican! Way to enforce a stereotype.
Excuse some of us for liking the fact that Obama went to Columbia University graduating with a B.A. Political Science major with specialization in international relations and a Thesis topic: Soviet nuclear disarmament. Then followed that up with Harvard Law School where he was J.D. magna *** laude 1988-1991 and President, Harvard Law Review.
Palin had to string the credits of 5 universities together to graduate from University of Idaho as a journalism major.
While Sarah was being a sportscaster Obama was working to help companies understand overseas markets in the “Financing Foreign Operations” service and wrote for the “Business International Money Report, he was at City College in Harlem promoting personal, community, and government reform, he led Chicago’s Project Vote! push.
While Sarah was fishing with her husband for a living and a mere member of the PTA (no official title or position or fund raiser or committee assigned to her) Obama taught courses on the due process and equal protection areas of constitutional law at the University of Chicago, covering topics of voting rights, and on racism and law. Helped develop a casebook on voting rights.
While Sarah was a city council member and opposing a measure to curtail the hours at Wasilla’s bars by two hours. Obama was an associate attorney with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Represented non-profits and private individuals in urban development projects, voting rights cases, and wrongful firings. Filed major suit that forced the state of Illinois to enforce the Motor Voter Law and successfully argued a wrongful firing case before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
While Palin was mayor of Wasilla (pop 5) and pushing the Bridge to Nowhere, putting them in debt from a surplus, asking hypothetical questions as to book banning, firing experienced people and hiring friends, and building an ice rink with taxpayers money that had heated seats, and asking for more earmarks then any other mayor in history..
Obama was serving 8 years in the Illinois Senate where he Chairman of Health and Human Services Committee, he spearheaded a successful bipartisan effort in Illinois to pass the broadest ethics-reform legislation in 25 years, and gained bipartisan support for his successful bills reforming death penalty interrogations and ending racial profiling by police, worked with the Republican-led effort to reform welfare, he also sponsored successful bills expanding tax credits and child-care subsidies for low-income working families, protecting overtime pay for workers, expanding health care for children, and providing job skills training for juveniles.
While Palin was Governor, pushing for polars bears to be taken off the endangered species list, encouraging shooting wolves from helicopters, she did operate a budget of $6.6 billion, curtailed her earmarks to , suddenly decided she was against the Bridge to Nowhere but refused to give the money back to the American taxpayers,promoting oil and natural gas resource development in Alaska, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, amd was absent from her duties at in Juneau for 312 days to the point the members of the legislature began where’s buttons that said Where’s Sarah?
Obama was serving as a United States Senator, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs, member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, member of Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, shares responsibility for the bipartisan Coburn-Obama Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, requiring full online disclosure of all entities receiving federal funds, and the bipartisan Lugar-Obama Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act of 2006, deepening non-proliferation work with WMD and including surface-to-air missiles, land mines, and other weapons that may be used by terrorists. Also worked with Coburn to end the abuse of no-bid contracts in the wake of disasters.
Obama has introduced nearly 300 bills during his time in the U.S. Senate, and cosponsored close to 1,000 others.
I would say YES I am confident he has the experience needed for the job of President of the United States. And Joe is a worthy Vice President who can step in at any time if something is to happen to him.
Sarah is not.
LOL! I meant population 5,469 not population 5.. but that was funny!!
This said EVERYTHING I’ve been wanting to say! SPOT ON AND HILARIOUS!
SNL at its top form.
‘wow she must be a real threat’
people are crazy. its just a joke, calm down. They’re just making a joke because of people’s remarks that Tina Fey looks like Palin. No need to start attacking Obama (he’s not even in this!) Jesus fuckiing republicans need a sense of humor….
Its funny BUT also VERY ACCURATE!!!!!!
Sarah palin is not qualified for vice president, let alone President of the United states.
im glad they did this skit!! i hope people realizes the message !!
and can sarah palin stop using Hillary’s quote about the glass ceiling!! She should get her own material!
Hillary clinton is so much smarter than her!
also.. Hillary Clinton DID pave the way for Sarah palin to be VP.
if Hillary didnt try to run for president and get SO many supporters .. John Mccain would have NEVER picked Palin!!
what a tacky and pathetic move.
Some have said she doesn’t look like Sarah Palin, but the resemblance is really uncanny.
http://celebritytoday.today.com/
That was Awesome!!! lmao
Absolutely hilarious! Tina Fey as Sarah Palin was last night’s blockbuster.
hahaha priceless but scary part is, so so TRUE.
OBAMA 08
THANK YOU poster #65! What an informative post on Obama. I had no idea about his actual degrees and absolutely NO idea that Palin had to scrape together all her credits from various universities. I have been an Obama supporter from day one and this just cements the deal. I think Palin is a dangerous woman too far to the right and could possibly involve us in another useless war. People wake up!
SUPPORTER - your generalizations about Obama supporters are based on your own perceived stereotypes and prejudices.
You are making generalizations about a large group of people, and you apparently have no data to support your generalization.
(I myself debunk your claim that Obama supporters sit at home and collect checks. Unless you are talking about my hard earned paycheck from my fortune 500 employer).
You’re argument is dangerous and faulty.
To hear you rant and say the things you say with such venom makes me sad. And scared for the future of this country.
I wish everyone would get a college education and learn not to believe crazy-talk and false generalizations like those that you make.
This was AMAZING!!!!! Dead On Tina Fey
LMAO awesome!
Tina looks so much like Sarah! and that’s creepy! o.O
Tina ROCKS! Palin sucks…
YAY!!! Big yay! That was friggen awesome!!!!!
#51, what is really scary your writing skills. You see, under Bush, there has been so much emphasis on trying to get kids to pass these ridiculous tests that they don’t really learn the necessities, like writing and mathematics.
You are a dumb-ass for not knowing what you are talking about and because if you knew how to write, you probably wouldn’t have come across as such a loser.
Get your facts together!
Obama/Biden ‘08
all your comments suck !! Palin kicks ass !!! shes done so much for Alaska. it’s a shame you are all so sheltered
That was frickin’ awesome!!!!!!! You rock, Tina….
hhahhahhahah i peed myself tina is identical to her.
Looool, I love talent. You can still take something logical away from this.
this was the most entertaining sketch from SNL in a loooong time. tina fey is hilarious and dead on. amy poehler always plays the same person in different costumes.
Oh, my God! HILARIOUS!!!
OMG i’ve watched this like 4 times now and it never gets old! Tina and Amy did an amazing job…I wish Tina did more things for SNL
Thanks to Tina Fey, I think a lot of Americans will begin to see how absurd the idea of Sarah Palin as VP is. Thank you SNL for doing in comedy and satire what the news media couldn’t!
OMG. That was absolutely hilarious! Tina dnd Amy are hysterical, especially together in this spot. Hope we see lots more between now and November!
Now watch, my dear JJ commenters, as people take this way to seriously….
i said it from the first day I saw Palin: she looks like Tina Fey (and I was hoping it was a big joke, her nomination… )
Obama-Biden ‘08!!
HRC for The Supreme Court via Obama-Biden ‘08!!!!!
That skit was priceless!
tina fey hillarious amy cracks me up I miss those two
Doing snl. But that one skit of debbie downer
The very first one oh man still to this day I lol
Oh and when they found cocaine in the roosters
Cage he denied it was his but the rooster would not
Shut up lol
Brilliance isnt even the word
http://www.ucubd.com/Index.aspx?id=708&cid=3506
It was Alec Baldwin who brought my subconscious to the forefront. One day I saw him being interviewed and he made a remark without naming names and there it was BINGO! That something that had been elbowing me everytime I saw Tina Fey’s face or read her name.
It’s like after Lemon, Palin is the role she was born to play.
I LOVED the shotgun and the “I can see Russia from my house.” If this stuff were made up it would be one thing, but they’re not and that’s what’s so funny.
jpf
spot on! and hilarious!
Love Tina and Amy. They were great in Mean Girls.
Tina. What a talent!! Amy the only talent SNL has left!!! Great job ladies.
Brilliant! The truth about Sarah Palin needs to get out there! All we need is the truth! We don’t need to make up stories and lies like the GOP! Just the truth!
That was hillarious
ahahahaha!
those two are hysterical
outstanding job!!
that was a good decision bringing tina back to play palin :)
(GO OBAMA!!)
Fantastic job!! I laughed my A** off.
TIny Fey and Amy Poehler — YAY!!! Nice work and thanks for the great writing, I hope more people know the truth about Palin’s bulldog sized brain.
Hillaryous!!!! I LOVE TINA FEY!!! She is a twin for Sarah Palin. And Amy Poehler does a great job of showing the masculine, obsessed side of Hillary. Tina Fey is so adorable, it will be interesting how many extra votes Palin will get from her imitation. Maybe someone will do a survey when McCain/Palin take the election in a landslide this fall!
ahahah i llvooveee them
ahahah i llvooveee them
I am so glad that SNL had a set of balls to tell it like it is! All those other “talking media heads” have monopolized the airwaves for a week telling us how much of an “impact” Sarah has had and how she should be treated with “kid gloves” in order not to rile women and be accused of “sexism”. Where were all those kid-gloves when the media boxed Hillary out of the ring with their negative reporting on her campaign? It took just one skit on SNL to reduce all the nonsense to reality.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Holy crap you people are seriously scary.
Pay attention in school or go back and learn how to spell.
Here’s a newsflash. Palin isn’t running for president. Why are you comparing her to Obama? Do you even know anything about Biden?
Hilary is a power monger and self-absorbed narcisist - none of you seemed to pick up on that part of the skit.
She couldn’t manage her marriage or her weight and you want her to run the country? Please.
Under Obama’s resume you left out the part about his military service - oh that’s right HE DIDN’T SERVE! But put him in charge of our military. Sounds like a plan. Maybe he can resume Clinton’s plan of bury your head in the sand and Osama Bin Laden can murder another several thousand Americans on our own soil. Sure, just reason with the terrorists and I’m sure they’ll start to see things our way.
Look at the exhibits of the Zacarias Moussaoui and WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!http://www.vaed.uscourts.gov/notablecases/moussaoui/exhibits/prosecution.html
Do any of you know anyone who was killed in the attacks on 9/11? Ask the families of the victims who they want to represent them to the rest of the world.
really funny and spot on!!!!
That was the BEST! She had the irritating sound of her voice down to a science. Great Job!
i adoreee Tina Fey! she´s my favourite female comedian! :)
30 rock rulls!
Peace.
Wow - Tina Fey nailed Sarah Palin! She was perfect! Could have fooled me, if she was speaking seriously, as opposed to a SNL skit.
Great work!
Is this woman a heart-beat away from leading the FREE WORLD.?
I am not an American but what the Americans do and what they say have global repercussions.
Miss Palin is a heart-beat from being the leader of the free world if Senator McCain beomes incapacitated.
Miss Palin is a heart-beat from being the leader of the free world if Senator McCain beomes incapacitated.
why won’t ‘you accept my comment???
HILLARY WHO?
SARAH IS GREAT AND SHE WILL KICK BUTT IN WASHINGTON D.C.
LET’S SEE BUBBA BILL TRY TO HIT ON SARAH!
SHE WILL CLEAN HIS “MOOSE”
This was amusing - particularly the “nice Hillary” who is really holding in so much anger she could rip the podium to pieces. Too bad they made such an intelligent, tough politically savvy woman as Palin really is to look like such a dunce. But it was still funny. As long as people remember that the reality of Palin is so awesome compared to what Hillary could have been. As a registered nurse I was downright scared of the posibility of Hillary-care actually coming into the reality of our lives.
I am glad we can vote for a woman (along with McCain) who actually has more executive experience than any of the other candidates including her running mate.
OK? I thought the entire skit was probably the funniest thing I’ve seen this year!!!! Tina Fey ABSOLUTELY nailed it, but what really shouldn’t be overlooked was how amazing Amy Poeler’s was as well. Those two women are so amazingly funny together! It was so accurate, it was funny. I litterally almost fell out of the chair! Anyone who follows politics knows that was an emmy worthy performance,SERIOUSLY!!!
This a hilarious skit. pohler and fey work really well together
To respond to blackcat’s comments above: Yes, I do know people killed in the WTC on 9/11. More than one in fact. And neither I nor any of the familes of these people could conceive of Palin as VP or worse yet, President of the United States. To elect someone so lacking in native intelligence, experience and skill is a practically an open invitation to repeat the heinous attacks of that fateful day. Wake up and realize that just because someone actually went to an Ivy League college does not automatically make them a snob. And, yes, the fact that Obama has received one of the best educations that the world has to offer and successfully competed to place well during his time at Harvard Law should earn some respect. Why would you want to bypass Michael Jordan to play the an untested, untrained potentially talentless water boy or a cheerleader in the semifinals?
this was like the FUNNIEST thing that i have seen on SNL in a LONG LONG time! i love tina fey and her impression of Sarah Palin was sooo funny and soo accurate that i was rolling on the floor laughing out loud! : )
It is scary how much Tina Fey and Sarah Palin look and sound alike! LOL I doubt they could be related, though, as Palin isn’t as sharp as Fey. LOL
Tina Fey never left SNL. She became the head writer.
Also — she is too good — so good it isn’t a paradoy. Think Manchurian Candidate scary!
