McCain on SNL with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

The real John McCain appeared in the opening sketch of "Saturday Night Live" with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. The skit featured the presidential ticket answering Barack Obama's infomercial with their own address to the nation on QVC, where they attempted to spread their message by selling McCain-themed items (pork knives for cutting pork) due to their own limited funds.

McCain also appeared in a second skit on "Weekend Update," in which he joked about going "Reverse Maverick" and "Sad Grandpa" to try and win the election.
