Governor Palin Cold Open
Gov. Palin pays a visit to the show
Summary: As Tina Fey portrays Gov. Sarah Palin in a sketch, the real Sarah Palin watches backstage with Lorne Michaels and is confused for Tina Fey by hotheaded Alec Baldwin.
Recurring Characters: Sarah Palin.
Wow! So much is happening here!
Governor Palin actually makes a reference to our idea, which was for her to do a 30 Rock sketch! I don't know why they didn't do that! That would have been even funnier than this! This was the more obvious route to go down, but the 30 Rock skit would have been even more biting and hilarious! But, anyway, whatever the reason, they didn't go that route.
Governor Palin, come back and do the 30 Rock skit!!! Please!!!
There is a funny dynamic with the backstage appearances of Alec, Governor Palin, Lorne, and Mark Wahlberg. They also set up the skit of Mark Wahlberg confronting Andy Samberg.

Amy Poehler takes over a Sarah Palin rap when the real Sarah Palin decides it would be a bad political move to perform it herself.
Amy steps in for Gov. Palin
Hahahahaha!!! I can't watch enough of that!
Alright, you know that The Lonely Island wrote that and tried to get Sarah Palin to perform it, and then Amy said she'd do it, so they just added all that into the skit. You can tell Jorma made the beat and the dudes wrote it. The lyrics have similarities to the Natalie Portman rap, and the dancing Andy Samberg in the background, "Eskimoes!" (as an Eskimo rather than a Viking) is similar. Plus Natalie Portman did the glock thing as well.
Also, Andy Samberg said that his original intention with the Narnia Rap was to integrate a rap with Chris Parnell into the Weekend Update (similar to how Chris had done in the past). So this is the first rap he's tied into the Weekend Update.

Overall thoughts:
Wow, what a show! Tons of guest appearances in this show! We did see some Andy Samberg, and I know Andy and the Lonely Island were the driving forces behind the Palin Rap.
But I was hoping to get a good digital short! Andy Samberg did promise another Laser Cats this season, and I'm waiting for him to pull out another song that will help reinvent him this season, like Narnia Rap (Natalie Portman Rap, Young Chuck Norris), Junk in a Box, and Iran So Far.
I want a sequel to Extreme Activities Competition. Check out our ideas here:
http://andysamberg.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-we-think-andy-samberg-should-do.html
And I want him to do another impression of Mark Wahlberg! Come on Andy, after all the buzz that skit is causing (partially in thanks to Mark Wahlberg's reactions), it's now your most popular impression!!!!
Plus I still want Governor Palin to come back and do that 30 Rock skit we've been wanting her to do for awhile! At least she mentioned it this episode, but mentioning it isn't good enough! She's the one who said she wanted to do it (even if it was a written line), so she should be allowed to do it!!!
Enjoy, everyone! Stop on by for more Andy Samberg and SNL goodness!!!
