On last night's Saturday Night Live episode, new cast member Abby Elliott showed off her (pretty awesome) Angelina Jolie impression, stopping by Weekend Update to ask Seth Meyers a few questions about the Bellflower Octuplets.

"Sad Grandpa" Hits Weekend Update

Senator John McCain made a second appearance on SNL last night, popping up on Weekend Update (which just isn't the same without Amy Poehler, I must say) to discuss his last-minute campaign strategies. McCain runs through a list of potential options, including the "Reverse Maverick," "The Sad Grandpa," "The Forrest Gump," and "The Rocky IV." The whole thing is silly, but also a bit sad: McCain comes across as pretty defeated and resigned, and one wonders if it was fun or embarrassing for him to sit down and play along with the Saturday Night Live crowd. Clip after the jump.

Remember the ignorant Midwestern lady, Gayle Quinnell, who called Obama an "Arab" at a John McCain rally outside Minneapolis last week? Well she bumbled onto the "Weekend Update" set during the SNL Thursday special last night, and she had a lot more to say about our beloved Barry. Did you know he's been cavorting with terriers? And he's a secret muslin? Seriously people, she read about it on the internet. Clip above.
