    I got an unexpected rush hearing that half-sentence of Palinese from her. If she does SNL, I believe Maya Rudolph is great with child so unable to play Oprah to her Palin. However, Rachel Dratch (one of SNL's many Baba Wawas) is available for a different old-cast reunion.

    As for ratings - I don't trust 'em. But they seem to indicate all of NBC Thurs. is suffering, except for perhaps the Office. (The only one of their sitcoms I *don't* watch - someone please explain the pleasure in those stupid, mean characters.)

    And forget 30R's paltry 5.something million. Parks & Rec, the best sitcom on the teevee machine, is even lower. Peeps - WATCH IT.

    Gosh I hope so. The more Sarah Palin is made to look ridiculous the better it is for our country, I think.

    I hate to say this, but I think Saturday Night Live needs to end. As much as I love Jane Curtain, Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy, Anna Gasteyer, Cheri Oteri, Will Ferrell, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Adam Sandler, Phil Hartman, Norm MacDonald, Maya Rudolph, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Fred Armisen...and all the other folks (I can't remember right now) who made the show epic....the current show has been doing a disservice to the legacy of funniness.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: But ending Saturday Night Live would end a unique forum where funniness could happen again in the future! Yes, it's kind of limping along now, but it's a one of a kind format (these days anyway). I am not ready to pull the plug.

    @highjump: It's sort of been limping along for a while now and is only occasionally punctuated by humor, which is a sad thing to say for a comedy show. It's now descended to the level of toilet humor and it's just sort of sad to watch. Either take it off or start looking for a cast that's actually, like, funny.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Fred Armisen? Eeech! Maybe Seth Myers, who is keeping Weekend Update funny without Tina Fey, and definitely Andy Samberg for the videos.
    Anyway, can't make a list like that without Jim Belushi, Bill Murray and -- ta-da! -- Sen. Al Franken.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: I think it needs to change format. Their digital shorts are not only the funniest bits, but the most popular. If they weren't so married to the "live" portion, I think it would be much, much stronger. Or limit the live bits (maybe just monologue, weekend update, and the musical guests).

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Yeah... but to be fair, it had been equally unfunny many many seasons before half the people you list ever got a chance to be on the show. In fact... it's always fairly unfunny. It only really works in retrospect when you remember back to the best moments that worked in the past. You remember the good and forget the awful. It's like oldies radio, just the hits, none of the forgotten crap.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: Yes, the could do a better job of casting. But if this show dies most of the actors that actually are suited for this work would go nowhere. Do you think any of those people you listed would be hired on a sitcom? And many of them that moved on to movie roles wouldn't have been able to without the following they generated while on SNL. I'm willing to keep this show around even if it only produces ONE more Murphy/ Ferrel/ Fey/ Poehler level funny person.

    @DuckDuckGoose: There's so many more to add...those were all that were in my head when I was writing it. But I forgot a few of my personal favs too.

    But I like Fred...I also got crap for liking Norm MacDonald too, so I guess there's no accounting for taste. I like wry, weird humor and Fred really gives me the giggles with his face expressions. Plus, his Prince imitation has made me love him for always.

    @MyNameIsChris: Actually a lot of those people were from the very first 5 seasons, so it probably wasn't fair to mention them either. But the cast over the last five years has been pretty unremarkable. There have been a few standouts, but the entire cast as a whole isn't very good. I'm thinking back to when the ENTIRE or at least the majority of the cast made real contributions to the show.#tips

    Sort of like Social Security Benefits for funny people.

    True, it's a good platform. But something about the show has not been working for a very, very long time. At the very least, revamping is in order. Because it's not just an unfunny season, it's been an unfunny few years.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk, JOC: I guess I just don't know what you're getting at. Even the first few seasons had plenty of awful moments. And the Doumanian and Ebersol years were essentially trainwrecks aside from the pure luck discovery of Eddie Murphy. Try watching 81-87. Aside from a few Murphy moments during the start of that run the show was unbelievably bad. I'm not arguing that it couldn't just be thrown away, but I don't really subscribe to the notion that there were EVER golden years. There were golden moments, and some seasons had more of them than others. If anything I find SNL almost works better now that the best bits can just be filtered out to the internet and I can avoid the rest.

    Also, the easiest fix would just to make the show shorter. Or have the bands play more numbers.

    Tina Fey's formidable talent notwithstanding, I don't think anything about Sarah Palin's insidious persona is amusing.

    Honestly, I don't care what Miley Cyrus does. She can wear her underwear over her pants. She can run around in little short-shorts. I don't care. She's practically an adult. Are we going to ask the same question next year when she's 18 and officially an adult? Will people stop caring then? It just seems like faux-concern.
