Saturday Night Live TV Show

Hey people! It has been just a week since Saturday Night Live return from break and already it has made the headlines. Seems the love hate relation between the show and the Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is not going to end really soon. Recently, the former vice presidential candidate stated in an interview with conservative radio talk-show host and filmmaker John Ziegler that she had been exploited by CBS News anchor Katie Couric and comic actress Tina Fey. While Couric had interviewed Sarah at the beginning of her vice-presidential campaign, Tina won the hearts of millions of audiences with her frequent impersonation of Palin on the sketch comedy Saturday Night Live. During the interview Sarah also criticized the news media’s coverage of her and her family.

Tina, who has recently been named the entertainer of the year, has not expressed her ideas on the issue as yet. However, I personally feel that Madam Governor is just making a mountain out of a mole hill. I mean, we all saw and liked Tina on Saturday Night Live and I don’t feel there was anything offensive in her impersonation of Sarah Palin. Besides, a person who is running for a public office needs to keep in mind that he/she has to be ever ready for public scrutiny. So I think Sarah’s criticism of the media is just another means of earning publicity.

Well as for Saturday Night Live, I think it has been through enough ups and downs in the past thirty four seasons of its airing that statements like these hardly make a difference. And whatever Sarah says, I find Tina to be an amazing comedian who has taken the show to new heights of popularity with her comic portrayal of the former running mate of Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Although Ms. Palin’s accusations have really saddened me, but my admiration for actress Tina Fey has really grown. I really expect to see more of this magnificent actress on my favorite comedy and variety show Saturday Night Live!
