Tina Fey: Live From NY as Sarah Palin!

Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin shows she can laugh at herself! Palin's people say the Governor was amused by Tina Fey's impersonation of her on "Saturday Night Live."

"She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween," her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt said, according to CBS News.



"Saturday Night Live" premiered its new season Saturday with the show's highest ratings for a season-opener in seven years.

Fey's knee-slapping, dead-on cameo as the VP nominee certainly helped the ratings.

The sketch also featured Fey's former "Weekend Update" co-host Amy Poehler playing Hillary Clinton.

A memorable moment in the sketch occurs when Poehler, as Clinton, said she disagreed with the Bush Doctrine. Fey, as Palin, admitted, "I don't know what that means"- this being a reference to Palin's apparent confusion on the subject in her first major interview earlier this week on ABC.

  • Tina Fey can only claim her celebrity status from Sarah Palin - I wouldn't even begin to compare the two. In broad scope, Sarah Palin is by far better looking!!

  • Are you sure that Palin said she dressed up for Halloween. Isn't that a pagan holiday. I thought that was a holiday that Christians usually avoided.

  • I thought it was genius and not meant to offend anyone and their beliefs. Hey, if we cannot laugh at ourselves this is a sad sad world.
