Maybe Tina Fey can rescue SNL once again. Fey is expected to return tonight as Palin on 'Saturday Night Live', according to TMZ.com
Sources tell TMZ Emmy darling Tina Fey will reprise her role as Sarah Palin on tomorrow night's episode of "Saturday Night Live." Anna Faris is the host, Duffy (who?) is the musical guest. We're also told Chris Parnell ('memba him?!) will play the roll of Jim Lehrer, who is moderating tonight's McCain/Obama debate.
This will be a good thing. Fey was the fantastic hit on the season opener of SNL two weeks ago. Last week, the show got off track with some mediocre political skits. I'll be glad to see her back.
That said, there is this scuttle... the Fey didn't really want to do the Palin skit. Here's a bit of the story posted on MSNBC from 'Access Hollywood'.
On the Emmy red carpet, Fey revealed to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush she actually refused to play her political look-a-like when it was first proposed.
“I was fighting them all week on it,” Fey said. “I kept saying, ‘I don’t want to do it, I’m not an impressionist.’ I kept telling (‘SNL’ producer) Lorne (Michaels), ‘No! I’ll show up ... I’ll do anything except play her. I can’t do it.’ Then, I was worn down. Lorne wore me down by the end of the week.”
