Sarah Palin joining SNL as Tina Fey Impersonator
Sarah Palin is getting ready to turn the tables on Tina Fey.
Dateline Hollywood has learned that the Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate will appear on "Saturday Night Live" next week in a skit where she will impersonate "30 Rock" star and former "SNL" head writer Fey.
"We wanted to do something making fun of Tina's American Express ads and we were trying to figure out who could do a good impression of her," said a source at the show. "Then we realized, 'Hey, that Sarah Palin lady looks exactly like her.' And she was hilarious in her interview with Katie Couric, so we know she's got great comedy chops."
Palin is said to be considering joining the "SNL" cast full-time if her White House bid fails in November. "Sarah feels she's just as qualified to be a comedic actress as she is to be vice-president, so it's a very exciting opportunity," said a Palin advisor.
