Will Ferrell's Bush Meets Fey's Palin on 'SNL'

By , About.com GuideOctober 24, 2008

Follow me on:

Will Ferrell and Tina Fey on SNL Will Ferrell dusted off his Bush impersonation to give his endorsement to John McCain and Sarah Palin in a primetime edition of Saturday Night Live.

In a skit featuring Tina Fey as Palin and Darrell Hammond as McCain, Ferrell offered Palin his political "strategery," explaining that the role of vice president was "the most important in the land" and that the "president can do nothing without checking with the vice president." He then offered this unwelcome endorsement:
Ferrell as Bush: "John was there for me 90% of the time over the last eight years. When you think of John McCain, think of me, George W. Bush. Think of this face. When you're in the voting booth, before you vote, picture this face right here. A vote for John McCain is a vote for George W. Bush. (to McCain) You're welcome. So I want to be there for you, John, for the next eight years."

Fey as Palin: "The next 16 years!"

Opie, Andy and the Fonz Stump for Obama

Ron Howard and the Fonz Speaking of reprisals, Ron Howard stepped back into the roles of Opie on the Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham on Happy Days as part of a call to support Barack Obama. Howard delivered his message in a new video from Funny Or Die, the Web site founded by Ferrell and Adam McKay that has produced such memorable videos as Paris Hilton's campaign ad.

Rond Howard as Opie Watch as Howard talks about Obama, first with Andy Griffith in a black-and-white fishing scene reminiscent of the old show, and then with Henry Winkler as "The Fonz."
