SNL Spoofs Palin-Couric Interview

By , About.com GuideSeptember 29, 2008

Follow me on:

SNL Palin-Couric Interview Spoof Watch Tina Fey reprise her Sarah Palin impersonation in a Saturday Night Live skit mocking Palin's train wreck interview with Katie Couric. Fey drew big laughs simply by skewering Palin with her own words.

Also worth checking out: Darrell Hammond's impersonation of Bill Clinton on "Weekend Update," where he talked about the election and vouched for Sarah Palin's preparedness, saying, "Sometimes women will be uncomfortable doing something at first…but I have found with enough persuasion, they will come around."

SNL also spoofed the Obama-McCain debate in a largely unfunny skit that failed to land any memorable satirical jabs at either candidate.

This Just In:

Sarah Palin Swimsuit Video • Watch video footage of a young Sarah Palin in the swimsuit and talent competitions in the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant

• In an episode of The Simpsons slated to run November 2, Homer Simpson tries to vote for Obama. A machine changes the vote to McCain and proceeds to kill him.

• David Letterman continued poking fun at John McCain, saying, "Senator John McCain is in favor of the bailout. He loves bailouts -- he bailed out on me." Guest Julia Louis-Dreyfus also got in an amusing dig at McCain

• Watch the Sarah Palin Disney Trailer, featuring an Alaskan hockey mom who becomes Vice President in the wackiest family comedy of the year!

• McCain replaces Palin with startled deer (Borowitz Report)

• Conservatives try to sabotage McCain's loss by asking Sarah to drop out (23/6)

• Watch the Couric-Palin interview clip that all U.S. Americans should see. Like, such as...

I thought the Hammond/Bill Clinton sketch was one of the more on-target things SNL has done this season. A lot of their recent political stuff seems like it was written by people who don’t really follow politics very closely. More here, if you’re interested: http://policomic.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/does-snl-pay-attention/

If you enjoy Palin spoofs, you might like the music track “Redheaded Sasquatch For Jesus,” which apparently uses snippets of Palin’s speech to the Wasilla Assmebly of God, backed by tasty hip hop beats.

And yes, there are some moose sound effects.
