SNL Presidential Bash 2008

Last night SNL had a political parody comedy special called the “SNL Presidential Bash”. It was essentially a clip show of all their impressions of the political candidates: Obama, Palin, Biden, McCain, and Hilary Clinton. They also showed highlights from when a few of the actual candidates appeared on “SNL”.

SNL’s Take on VP Debate: Best Political Parody Yet!

Yesterday, we watched all the Sarah Palin/Tina Fey skits in succession (thanks to the wonders of DVR technology!), which made the latest skit even more hilarious! Last saturday’s episode of “SNL” sent up the VP debate. Tina Fey continued her astute Sarah Palin impression, while Jason Sudeikis took a stab at Joe Biden, and Queen Latifah was the best as the book-plugging moderator, Gwen Ifills. Thanks to Hulu, you can relive these comedy skits over and over.

Keep the political parodies coming SNL writers! They’re making Saturday Night Live funny again, if only for a few minutes for these hilarious cold opens.
