I'm beginning to think Kristin Wiig could imitate anyone. Here, she is impersonating Suze Orman, the financial advisor with an unmistakable voice, an iconic wedge haircut, Cougar-ific fashion sense, and a way with words. (Does The Courage to Be Rich ring a bell?

On top of being pretty cute, Bradley Cooper is hilarious! He was in on SNL a few weeks ago as Miss B, fabulous swishy runway walking coach on the Today show with Kathy Lee and Hoda Kotb. His best tip?

"Gird your loins!" Yeah! My favorite quote of last week made it into the opening of SNL last night where Joe Biden and John Murtha attempted to remove their feet from their mouths for certain "crises" and "redneck" statements.

In a class reunion of sorts between two SNL alums and two of the most recognizable and/or popular political impressions, last night's Thursday edition had Bush meeting Palin — for an endorsement of a very special kind.
Asking where McCain was to receive this special blessing and waxing on the experience of his last eight years in office, "Bush" said, "George Bush always finds his man, save for one huge exception." He went on, complimenting Fey-lin on her folksiness, saying, "For a while I was trying to be folksy, but after a bit, it just came off 'douchey'" Do we say that?

This is it! After inspiring the most talked-about impersonation since Will Ferrell's Bush, the Real Sarah Palin was on SNL last night, opening the show and showing up to Weekend Update (can I say she looked very comfortable behind that news desk?) She seemed the picture of a good sport and kind of in her element. Check out what happens when Alec Baldwin confuses Palin for Fey-lin.

Just when we thought it was going to get all grim and serious for the last 18 days of the election, the funnies come marching in! After LOL performances by both candidates at the Al Smith dinner — and despite jokes falling 7-1 against Republicans, which I'm sure were helped in part by Letterman's recent . .

This is an odd story, the mysterious disappearance of an SNL sketch on the Bailout. Since $700 billion is pretty big doin's, naturally the Lampooners in Chief wanted to get in on the action — regardless of whether Congressional hearings/press conferences lend themselves to comedy (uh, they don't.) The sketch trained a carefully pointy eye on the possible Democratic roots of the Bailout plan.
Why then has the sketch, which skewered everyone from the 99th richest person in the world, George Soros to philanthropists Herb and Marion Sandler, disappeared?

SNL was almost wall-to-wall politics last night, with an ersatz debate match-up, a faux Bill Clinton making an appearance on "Weekend Update," and this spoof on the Palin/Couric interview from earlier this week. Compare it to the original and see what you think — did they nail it? Or do you wish there was a joke where the punchline wasn't "Sarah Palin?"

Oh, these classic ladies of comedy! Gilda was one of the first female stars on Saturday Night Live to show that boys weren't the only ones who could steal the show. From her character Roseanne Rosannadanna, the narcissistic news anchor, to her amazing impersonation of punk legend Patti Smith, Gilda was rad.
