John McCain's advisors told him he should choose Palin because she represented the New Generation of Republicans. How right they were.
Vacuum Heads
Yup
Lol
Yup -- dumb as dirt. He was just two election cycles early.
bimbos
let's be honest: this has become a historic moment in tv history.
Truth
Agreed! Tina is an icon💗🎉
I love Tina as Sarah Palin! Back then, the thought of Sarah being VP was horrifying, but then I learned what truly horrifying actually looks like. 🍊🤡
The moment at which we believed we had hit political rock bottom and survived to better times.
To highlight the slow death of MSM
This was so innocent. We all had no idea what was to come.
It hurts to remember that we thought we dodged a bullet when McCain lost.
Katie Britt just beat Sarah Palin
😅😅😅😅😅
Remember when we thought this was as batshit crazy as the Rethugs could get? Good times.
If I remember, this was not even an exaggeration, more like a re-telling.
Yes the healthcare answer was verbatim. That's what made it so brilliantly cringey.
@@ClueSign yup. exactly.
It basically was.
You definitely remember correctly
As far as I can remember, the answers from Palin were not written by the SNL staff, but taken from a original interview. The script was already finished by reality, the two actors only had to give an individual performance.
The fact that much of this sketch is based on what Palin actually said is just genius writing by Fey and all the other writers involved.
But it wasn't just nailing the writing, she also delivered a spot on impersonation of her. I still remember that bit about being able to see Russia from her porch. Tina slayed me every time she did Palin.
@@heinleinreaderyou don't remember it. You think you did. She never said it.
Still unbelievably hilarious in almost 2023. Both Tina and Amy deserved Emmys for this performance.
Ehhh Amy.
I believe tina did get one
Sarah Palin too for writing the script
Or SOMETHING 😂
I love the one where Tina plays Palin and Amy plays a very desperate Hillary
I actually think this is one of the best American impressions ever. She has captured her way of talking, behaving and thinking to perfection. She's not imitating, she's being her. The opening "oh hey, you know, sure" alone is absolute gold.
💯💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣
I lived in Alaska... That's exactly how some of them talk
Amy's batting of the eyes killed me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ikr? She timed it perfectly. You could see the thoughts going through her head "DID she really just say that? Omigod, she did. My brain is collapsing ..."
I can’t believe I just now noticed Amy was heavily pregnant in this sketch.
i noticed in the real interview katie couric was blinking really fast as palin was rambling so it was great to see that lol
Man she's amazing. Tina Fey, Amy Poelher, Kristen Wiig, are pure snl/comedy gold...
+axelle32 Among the 3 that u mentioned I think Amy Poehler is the best . Just look at her in Parks and Recreation .
+axelle32 and Maya Rudolph
+Tylar Fullwood Fully agreed. Rudolph is incredibly underrated
i have no interest in politics but i keep looking for real interviews after watching these sketches on snl!
Rachel Dratch!!!!
I'm always amazed how Amy doesn't break during this sketch.
Someone in the crowd was actually allowed to shout out "SAAARAHH" at one point, how the fuck did that get through. Person should have been ejected.
Funny, but people now in office are stupider than Palin,
The Baby was losing it inside =)
I loved the "Wtf?" Look on Amy's face after some of Tina's answers.
I’m always amazed how she’s not laughing 😂 especially with the life line statement😊
2022, and this is still gold and totally hilarious.
I just love Amy Poelher's aggressive eye-winking in this skit. 😂
Lol Katie was a little much
Tina Fey looked more like Palin than Palin did.
That's allegedly what Tina Fey's daughter thought too!! Supposesdlly when the picture of Palin first came on TV as McCain's selected VP choice, Tina's daugther suppossedly said: OMG - Mom - McCain picked you for VP"!!!!
Yeah even Fox News mistook Tina Fey for Sarah Palin and showed Fey's photo in a segment about Palin
thank gawd for your comment. I was convinced Palin was being a good sport and doing the skit.
Loving Amy's over-blinking, it's spot-on
And people thought THAT was peak crazy. Holy shit people had no idea what was about to come.
Amen
Well, when you say Romney wanted to "put y'all back in chains" shit tends to happen.
I doubt we have reached the peak of it actually.
ikr Tell me you're getting a clinically demented president in late Summer 2020, I call yo crazy.
Seriously! Now we're stuck with senile Joe Biden.
“Every morning when Alaskans wake up, one of the first things they do is look outside for any Russians hanging around” 😂😂🤣🤣 Tina Fey nailed this Sarah Palin impersonation. “I can see Russia from my house” is forever etched in my memory! Rewatching in 2022 and it never gets old.
Timeless!
😂😂😂
Best part of that is that it was a direct quote.
Shoo, get back over there!
No it wasn't. She never said that @@elizamccroskey1708
that UN part kills me.
I promise that when Senator McCain and I are elected, we're gonna get those jobs back in American hands!
Amy just nails the WTF face to perfection!
ikr
The face is more like a slow "biiiitch"
see "wet Hot American summer" sequel
She overplayed the eyelids fluttering
Yup
If any one thing sunk the McCain-Palin campaign, I think it was this skit. The reason was that most of America already thought Palin was short on brains, and this cemented in many voters' minds. Even if they did not see the live SNL broadcast, they saw this opening. Absolutely historic as well as hysterical.
any interview with AOC goes pretty much the same way.
both are vacuous bubbleheads.
3:58 - 5:00
I'm sure if Sarah Palin had to write a 10 page essay at any point, she would have put simply put S A on 10 pages.
@@deejayguppy6087 hahhahahaha true
Well, it didn't help if you saw the interview this was based on. My word, how that woman fought against saying anything remotely intelligent. Claimed to be well-read, but insisted it was a "gotcha" question to ask for the name of any newspaper or magazine whatsoever that she read.
short on brains... didn't bother anybody in 2016 election
Tina’s dithering on the economy was brilliant. It’s actually quite difficult to speak nonsense that fluently.
Have you seen Trump?
@@kellypaws Yeah lol. Of course it's a lot easier if you actually think nonsense. 🙂
Have you seen Kamala Harris trying to answer questions? And she is the v.p. So you idiots keep laughing because the real clown show is the Biden administration.
A lot of that was straight from Palin’s actual interview.
Oh really?? Listen to anything Joe Biden tries to READ OF A TELEPROMPTER. Sarah palin is way smarter than lunch box joe.
"Katie I would like to use one of my lifelines"😂😂😂
The entire skit was a build up to that line and it was sooo worth it. I laughed for 5 mins!!!!
Died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You don't have any lifelines.
@Don't question me. Then you can't Phone a Friend. lol
I want to phone a friend.
9 years later and this still brings tears to my eyes.. of laughter 😂
Too coherent in 2020.
You are not alone.
I can’t stop laughing 😂. I watch every year. Laughters good for the soul
This is literally one of the best skits SNL ever put out.
The "Fanny and Freddy" part killed me
At 4 minutes is was verbatim from the actual interview.
Yeah, the "Fanny and Freddie" part was the part Tina Fey admitted to lifting almost wholesale from the actual interview (give or take a few words) because to her Palin looked "lost in a cornmaze" during it.
The stop in midsentence was just hilarious.
💯%
3:23 As an Alaskan, I can confirm we still do this.
Who's watching in 2020 and still rolling on the floor? 😂
Why do you ask such an inane question? That's what I want to know.
ME!!
YEP
Tread Knought
This.
This is what’s wrong with the world and America.
I am
This never gets old. The one who wrote that last 'also' deserves a comedy medal imho :)
+Patsy Bailey it kills me every time hahahaha......
"that goofy evolution museum"
yeah
John McCain is a war criminal.
Look at the dumb trash he picks for high office.
Why is ‘also’ in “ “?
Tina Fey literally imitated Sarah Palin by looks and by voice. It still makes me laugh 13 years later.
"I can see Russia from my house!"
Tina Fey was more authentic than the original.
@@sharonjensen3016 maybe she has a Telescope
Tina Fey did Sarah Palin better does Sarah Palin does the University of Michigan basketball team!!?
She brilliantly embodied palin!
The writers didn’t have to think too hard on this one. 15 years later and still one of the funniest sketches they’ve ever done.
Besides Tina, I think a lot of credit also has to go to Amy as Katie Couric with her really exaggerated facial responses.
Desmond P T I actually think that ruins the whole thing, but hey, that's me.
I love how she is whispering
Amy's over blinking got me like everytime
Oliver To me, the blinking and her reaction is the best part.
Me ten years later thinking of the new president’s policies
Amy was really fat...disgusting.
FLexxxtreme She’s pregnant in that sketch. Give her a break!
@@TicklerDude Not as disgusting as you.
Sarah Palin's folksy charm will melt your heart, and your brain.
And probably your wallet!
One of the best skits the show has done. Fey is astonishing.
4:00 is the actual Palin's response, pretty much verbatim... so much funnier for that.
+Eli Kübler-Ross Pretty much the best part of the whole skit. Tina didn't make those remarks up.
Everyone focuses on Fey's Palin but what about Poehler's Couric?! 😂 😂 😂
+Aisosa Ihama she nailed it but sadly people kinda ignore her marvelous performance...
Aisosa Ihama cause at that time people were so hyped for fey to play Palin ...... she talks about it in her book, people were pressuring her to play it and when she did people loved it
Sal Paradise Sarah Palin
Sir Hillary is a murdering scumbag
Sal Paradise You sound like a Russian bot account that doesn't realise the elections over
If you watch the real Sarah Palin doing interviews you would realize this is not a comedy sketch at all. It's actually a documentary! 😂😂😂😂
I remember the first time ever seeing Sarah Palin on TV and thinking immediately; 'Tina Fey HAS to play her on SNL!' It was inevitable that would happen, and SO worth it. Still hilarious all these years later. Tina and Amy are legends.
Apparently, you weren't alone. I saw an interview with Tina where she said just that. As soon as Palin came on the scene people were telling her you HAVE to do her!
I always go back to rewatch this whenever I need a good laugh.
me too~！
Kim A same
Kim A watch the "debate" with Queen Latifa as Gwen Ifill, rip. It's also hilarious! I can just think about it and start laughing.
Sarah Palin is no longer the one with the odd values. Her family's antics are tame compared to the Cheeto.
Same here
me too!
Amy is hilarious with blinking! But Tina is IDENTICAL to Palin, i had to check that this is not Palin!!
Amy Poehler’s slow-blinking as Katie Couric has me dead every time ☠️
3:58 Tina's simply repeating Palin's own words verbatim. Olbermann did a side-by-side comparison of them.
Just like with Trump, they don't need to be made fun of, they do that themselves by simply existing.
Comedy gold, seriously. Tina Fey is so good it’s scary.
A republican keeping an eye on Russia! She WAS a maverick!!
Only to have her hero "Trump" come behind them & become a Russian Puppet.
What did John Lennon say? Life is what heppens to you while you are making other plans. But Ms Palin is hardly an outlier - just think of the frantic Republican opposition to deficit spending, even though they somehow never seem to maintain that stance when in office. Let's be polite and call it ironic.
And yet Trump STILL made it by the radar.
@@regnichol462 Let's be polite and only call you moronic. And believe me, that's really being polite.
@@reneep9972 You could be a bit more helpful and explain just what has brought you to this frantic level of politeness. Or not. Actually, TBH, i don't really care that much.
14 years later and this still has me in stitches! OMG, what a time to have been alive.
I have watched this clip many times. It is always hilarious - not to mention an iconic television moment.
This version makes more sense.
You are way too kind!!!
😂
Carolina Sousa Agree:) Lol
lol
I hope people know that a lot of what Tina said from 3:55 to 5:00 min mark were the actual words said by Palin in her interview with Couric. They didn't even have to write up a funny dialogue for this clip. Palin was and still remains a clown
Thanks for sharing that, I could not had guessed!
KingVikram wait - seriously? you must be joking...
KingVikram
from 3:55 to 5:00, even though I understood the words she uttered, but I'm still trying to figure out what she wanted to say 😂😂
It wasn't word for word, they did add some stuff in there of course- but saying that, it wasn't that much better.
The nonsense starts at 10:40 .
This is 100% accurate on every Palin interview
Whenever I need a pick me up I look up Tina Fey as Sarah Palin vids 😂😂
I could never get tired of watching this. Amy Poehler's facial reactions are priceless:))
She crushed.
Yeah because elite members of the mefia are soooo smart? Lmao
That’s how Katie was looking at Palin during the interview lol 😆
I feel bad for the generation that does realize how, sadly, phucking accurate this was.
Even worse to look back fondly on those days. *sigh*
Well, at least this generation gets Alec Baldwin
@@AprilGabrielle oh wow, great point.
probably the same generation that voted for that orange buffoon...what was his name again? I've already forgotten LOL
Some of her gibberish here was verbatim
This was even more funny at the time because the response at 3:58 is near identical to the real Palin's response in the original interview,
6:08 “I want to phone a friend.” Priceless!
When she goes off the rails at 4:00, that is almost a verbatim replica of the interview. Frightening.
Someone in the crowd was actually allowed to shout out "SAAARAHH" at one point, should have been fucking ejected. Its not a, fucking comedy club. Jesus.
@@octaviancaesarhibernicus4447 : you mean the actual Palin-Couric interview?
The funniest part about this, is a lot of her lines are from the actual interview.
Tina Fey owned that part.... I think Palin was created to go into politics to allow Tina to parody her so so well....
One of the funniest skits ever. Tina Fey really nails it!
It takes real acting chops for Amy to keep a straight face during this ...bravo
Tina Fey is amazing at playing Sarah Palin!
St. Trinian's TOTALLY AMAZING!!!!😂😂😂😂
So does Lisa Ann (x-rated star extraordinaire!)
@ 6:30 😂🤣😂🤣
Hilarious
I love how Amy Poehler just blinks in horror after every answer
lol yes and asks a new question no folowup
Those few lines about when Alaskans wake up they look outside to see if there are any Russians hanging around is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen, sometimes when I'm just minding my own business it comes into my head iconic
who else misses the good ol days of 10 years ago when we all thought she was as crazy as it gets? *sighs and takes a long drink*
debjoy12 it was the beginning of the downward spiral...
There were nutjobs that held onto her every word and took it as a gospel. That kind of intensified and gave Trump his base for 2016.
@@RichV20 Yup.....and here we thought this was the worse it could get........fast forward and we've got an even bigger idiot in charge. 🤡
These truly were the good ol days. Everything is proper fooked right now.
Just her first "oh hey you know, sure!" got me laughing already 😂
Oh my G-d, I needed a laugh tonight. The US has me where I can start cryin' at any news report. Tina, Amy and SNL, thank you!!!
They didn't even write jokes, they just read the transcript of the actual interview.
These two ladies can hold their own against any comic ever.
But they can't open jars without the aid of a man.
Dude you're a true idiot. All SNL FOLK are way over hyped.. Just like all of nasty ass NYC
Pfft.
No no they can’t but good try
"Bono the King of Ireland" 😂😂😂
LOL!!!!! I just heard that!!! HAHA
He is though. lol
This skit NEVER gets old. The genius of these women is just awesomesauce.
It’s so funny that for a solid part it was a direct quote
Tina Fey is AMAZING i love her
Amy just made me realize that comedy can be done just with facial expressions
Except she wasn't funny.
@@jshepard152 You don't have any lifelines.
Not really
Only the really talented comedians can pull off physical comedy. Facial expressions and reacting are an integral part of comedy.
Born yesterday, were you?
6:06 I would like to phone a friend 😂
Shew! Get back over there! LMFAO!!!
Amy Poehler's faces omg xD
PalmurcioWorld "faces"? with an "s"? it was always the same face...
*****
Yeah, I mean. Obviously I mean facial expressions xD.
5:55 "Katie I would like to use one of my lifelines."
"I'm sorry?"
"I want to phone a friend."
"You don't have any lifelines."
"Well in that case I'm just gonna to have to get back to ya."
ZeroFox75 lmao 🤣
Will this ever get old!!? lol
2024 still Epic Comedy Moment In History
Amy and Tina! Simply the best!
I can't count the number of times I have watched this over the years , but right now when we are in lock down and I've only been out of the house once in 2 weeks, it seems more brilliant than ever. If any of the guys who created this are listening/reading, thank you so much. This really raised my spirits, and, my goodness, we're in need of that right now.
This is still funny on August 12, 2023 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Poehler and Fey - one of the greatest comedic duos ever!
Not nearly as embarrassing as when you watch Sarah herself.
Bout the same!
KAren pRoano

the sarah palin sketches in 2008 that SNL did apparently really changed the political votes, and helped the democrats win, in the episode where sarah palin features as guest the episode got 14 million views, more than ever before! I love SNL
@113053284804509145800 When Obama won he removed American troops from Iraq ISIS filled the vacuum. Because Obama removed American troops from Iraq untold thousands of women and men have been raped, tortured, mutilated and killed by ISIS. Let your conscience deal with that complete truth, if you have one.
+drServitis you have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
btw, he sent troops back...
+drServitis bush was the one who signed the deal for troops pull out.
InfernoFlameZERO
Bush signed the deal for America's troops to pull out of Iraq with the possibility that they should stay in Iraq if needed. Obama refused to let them stay. Obama refuses to use American troops for any fighting or defense mission, only allowing them to be advisors or using the Air Force to bomb. This is why the Islamic State problem has gotten out of control in Iraq and Syria. Obama also said that if the Assad regime in Syria used chemical weapons that he would be stepping over a forbidden line. Assad then used chemical weapons and Obama did absolutely nothing in retaliation. Obama also said that the Assad regime in Syria must be removed. Now Russia has sent massive reinforcements to Syria to support Assad and Obama is doing nothing. No one believes Obama will act, because he refuses to, so no one is afraid of Obama. And America is the only nation powerful enough to defend the innocent and oppressed and to maintain world stability, but under Obama our allies know they cannot depend on America. Even defense of our long-time NATO allies in Europe is in question under Obama. When Medvedev was president of Russia and on a trip to America Obama said, not knowing he was on camera with an open microphone, "just get the Russian heat off of me about the rocket shield America has been planning to build in Poland to defend Europe, because I have an election to win, and after I win the election I will do what Russia wants." !!! I personally believe that Obama may be supportive of Russia because his own mother and grand-parents were members of the Socialist Party in America during the Cold War. Very scary!
+Ben Swartz It just shines a light on the truth. This, for example, is mostly taken from the real interview.
The sad part is some of this was word for word what Palin had said in her interview!
Tina Fey single handedly destroyed Sarah Palin’s political career 😂😂😂😂
This is my favorite SNL sketch and I've seen hundreds of them :)
Tina is incredible here (as always... so underrated). And let’s not forget about Amy whose reactions are so hilarious. Spot-on Katie Couric.
“I’d like to phone a friend” LMFAO! Love that lil Jeopardy reference
The Bush doctrine had me dying.
Ok, I watched this video about 100 times so far and it just gets funnier and funnier... Love them both so much :) Love from CROATIA :)
greenlight373 Hrvatska ❤️💙🇭🇷
Hands down the greatest reoccurring impression SNL ever did. Tina as Palin is just too perfect. Genius.
They nailed it on this skit. Effing comedic gold.
When this first aired, live, I then went and looked up the original interview. It was frighteningly identical.
"Bono the king of Ireland" :p~*
Me Be A Fairy and the funny thing is most Americans would believe he’s the king of ireland
"I went to see a film called The Bush Doctrine. It wasn't about politics." OMG
I watched the actual interviews between Sarah and Katie and there is A LOT of this that is taken directly from the interview!
Good god. I had to revisit this. Even the fake version of palin is more articulate than the real version of trump.
1000 times better than Brandon😅😅😅
@@cliff311976Aww, Cliffie's still around and feeling desperate.
I can't tell the real palin and this palin apart.
ABC Entertainment there are obvious differences. Here, she looks smart.
Best way is that the real Palin says "I can see Russia from my house" in a semi-intelligent voice which makes her sound even dumber than she is
Fake Palin says the same thing but in a dummy voice that makes her seem somewhat intelligent
Got it!!@@jeanmcgee8603
Maybe you're just that Damn Stupid??
The first time I saw her do this, I thought it really was Sarah Palin. Fought with my family about it LoL.
isn't this the one where they pretty much just copied what sarah palin actually said
that's how insane it was picking this Looney, can u imagine her 2nd in command if America, democracy is truly frightening sometimes
@@octaviancaesarhibernicus4447 Ah, comments from the years 2014 and 2015, when it really _was_ laughable to imagine utter stupidity -- stupidity that makes W look like a rocket scientist -- in the White House. We figured the common sense of the common man & woman would never allow such a thing to happen.
Tina Faye she did good imitating Palin
Yes.
@lioheart2356 hopefully Biden won't get it though
They are crazily good!!! Beyond brilliant!!!
2021 anyone? This never gets old.
