Tina Fey Returns To SNL As “Sarah Palin” And It’s Priceless

After the former half-term governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, endorsed Donald Trump, you knew this was coming.

Tina Fey returned to SNL last night to reprise her spot on version of Palin, to spectacular results.

She takes Palin’s endorsement speech and just ups the ante a smidge to perfection. Thank you, baby Jesus!

“I’m here for all you teachers and teamsters, you farmers and charmers, whether you’re a mom or two broke girls, or three men and a baby, or a rock and roller, holy roller, pushing stroller, pro bowler with an abcess molar.”

Best moment at 2:23.

Enjoy.

SNL Skewers 6th Republican Debate

Complete with Ted Cruz’a knock on “New York values,

Via Salon:

“I think most people know exactly what New York values are,” he began. “And, frankly, they are not the rest of the country’s values. Instead of celebrating Christmas, New Yorkers celebrate a Pagan holiday called Festivus. Instead of watching American football, they challenge each other to masturbation contests. In New York, people don’t say hi to their neighbors, they say, ‘hello, Newman…’”

The moderators were confused saying it sounded an awful lot like he was talking about the TV show Seinfeld. “Believe me, if I could say liberal Jews, I would.”

SNL Slaps Down Houston’s Anti-LGBT Rights Activists

Via HRC Blog:

Last night, Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update took on the recent vote on the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance.

HERO aimed to protect 15 classes — — from LGBT people to women to veterans — from discrimination. In the lead up to November 3, anti-LGBT organizations launch a fear-mongering campaign that painted a categorically incorrect picture of women in men’s bathrooms.

Actor Pete Davidson called out the anti-LGBT campaign with this great line:

“So the theory is that guys, in their relentless quest to watch women go to the bathroom, are going through years of hormones, surgery, changing their names, their wardrobe, coming out to their families, all for that big payoff of peeing in a room without urinals. What is this fantasy that they think is going on in there?”

Sia Returns To SNL: “Alive”

The single is from her upcoming album release This Is Acting, due out January 29, 2016.

For the performance, the Aussie singer covered her face (as usual) with an oversized wig and painted eyes on her cheeks as a dancer interpreted the song to dramatic effect.

Donald Trump’s SNL Opening Monologue

Via Entertainment Weekly:

The website DeportRacism.com owes Larry David $5,000. During Donald Trump’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live, David shouted “Trump’s a racist,” a phrase the political action committee said would net its speaker a cash bounty if spoken during the broadcast. “Trump’s a racist,” David said at the end of Trump’s opening, before adding, “I heard if I yelled that, they’d give me $5,000.” “As a businessman, I can respect that,” Trump said in response. Following the joke, DeportRacism.com praised David for saying the line, and noted that it would pay him the cash reward. “Joke or not, it was true. Go Larry!” the PAC wrote on Twitter.

Trump’s appearance as host of SNL was met with protests from several Latino groups, including The Hispanic Federation, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA), and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). Before the broadcast on Saturday night, protestors marched from Trump Tower to 30 Rockefeller Center, home of Saturday Night Live, with more than 577,000 petitions calling for NBC to drop Trump from the show because of his previous comments on Mexican immigrants.
