When Sarah met Tina
It was a very funny opening to Saturday Night Live as Governor Sarah Palin watched Tina Fey's impression backstage on a monitor.

Presidential candidate Sarah Palin watched backstage as Tina Fey did her best impression on Saturday Night Live on the weekend.
In a press conference sketch, Fey answered lots of questions with Palin’s “gee whiz” style of politics.
Backstage Palin watched the 30 Rock star on a monitor and proved she was a good sport. Also making an appearance was Mark Wahlberg, and Alec Baldwin (but you’ll have to watch the clip to see for yourself).
Finally, Palin and Fey crossed paths as the Alaskan Governor threw to the opening of the show.

The real Sarah “Caribou Barbie” Palin is waaay hotter (you betcha). But she’s a lousy candidate.
The rap was hilarious.
Again, I couldn’t decide if this was a really smart move or a really stupid move for Palin – possibly it was clever to go on, but not do too much. The opening Tina Fey piece I thought was brilliant, and while the “backstage” section had a good script, it featured oddly stilted performances from everyone (including Baldwin).
It’s curious that the second sketch, in which Amy Poehler does a Palin-themed rap, has been embraced by many of the right-wing blogs who are reprinting the lyrics – apparently unaware it’s actually anti-Palin, not pro.
Where do I begin?! The hilarity was expected given that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are both comedic gems, but as much as I abhor the very foundation on which Sarah Palin has built her moral values and political views, props must be given where props are due.
She really was ballsy going on a show that not only ridicules her on a weekly basis, but positions itself fully in the Democratic corner. Heck, it’s NY! She’s lucky she wasn’t pelted with rotten fruit by the people who work at NBC!
I would have liked to have seen a “Palin Off” with her and Tina both doing their best “you betchas” and “mavericks”, but we can’t always get what we want.
And for the record, Stephen was always my favourite Baldwin too.
Tina Fey for President y’all.
Well, if nothing else, it certainly proved that Alec Baldwin can’t work without a cue card to save himself!!
I think she’s a moron and I live in fear that somehow her and the old bloke will steal the election like Bush did in the past…but I gotta give her credit for going anywhere near that show. It’s gutsy. Or stupid. I can’t decide which.
Loving it!
She’s got guts going on the show. I liked the ‘why didn’t we do the 30 Rock gag’ and Lorne says ‘not enough people watch that show’.
I’m an Obama supporter and don’t like what Palin represents,but give her credit she seems to have a sense of humour.
The send up of that crazy woman from the MCCain rally was gold!
gah why doesn’t NBC let these clips stay up on you tube!!!
God, Amy Poehler cracks me up EVERY time.. so damn funny!!
NBC has the clips up on their website for free access instead of on YouTube

She was alright – but she didn’t really crack any jokes. Took some guts though to go on there…….
Go Obama!
Video is not available 🙁
I couldn’t tell them apart!
Wonder if they’ll the resemblance in 30 Rock?
