Rumors continue (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27053921/) to circulate that Sarah Palin will appear on Saturday Night Live to combat Tina Fey’s gosh darn perfect impression of her. No official confirmation as of yet. The Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1203739,CST-FTR-fey05.article) parlays that in lieu of a rerun this Saturday, Palin may pop up on the first Weekend Update prime time special, airing this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. EST on NBC: “some sort of Palin tweak of Fey’s American Express commercials is [rumored to be] in the works.” We think it would be more appropriate if Palin teamed up with Mark Wahlberg to talk to a moose (http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/10/06/votd-mark-wahlberg-talks-to-animals/)and then winked it to death in front of a live and horrified studio audience. Meanwhile, Vulture (http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/10/snl_embroiled_in_minor_censors.html) reports that SNL’s Congress-skewering bailout sketch has been yanked from Hulu and NBC.com, possibly igniting a censorship controversy (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/10/07/nbc-scrubs-snl-anti-democrat-bailout-skit-website).
In semi-related TV news, the NY Post (http://www.nypost.com/seven/10072008/tv/mccain_to_patch_it_up_with_dave_132465.htm) reports that John McCain may reschedule a much publicized and abruptly canceled appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman for mid-October.
