New York Governor and 'Saturday Night Live' Finally See Eye to Eye
By Carla Baranauckas - Politics DailyGov. David Paterson of New York accomplished something on the season opener of "Saturday Night Live" that few others -- if any -- have ever managed: He got an apology. Actually, he got three. As the NBC late-night comedy show began its 36th season of satirizing virtually everyone and everything it wants to, Paterson showed up side by side with Fred Armisen (see video below), who has done a devastating caricature of the governor since 2008, when Paterson took office after Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal.

Okay, so most of them haven't been that great. But Derek Jeter's Taco Hole is absolutely killer and Peyton Manning might have been the funniest person on the show -- no, I'm not just talking hosts -- since Will Ferrell left.Expecting that sort of show from Phelps seemed a bit aggressive. Being funny, after all, on live national television is not easy. But there's a big difference between not being funny and just being flat-out ...
Live, from New York! It's Hillary Clinton!
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyHillary Clinton made a crazy funny surprise guest appearance on Saturday Night Live tonight following another debate spoof show-opener -- this time the MSNBC debate starring Brian Williams and a very well done Tim Russert. Earlier in the evening CNN had reported that Hillary had failed to show for a charter flight from Texas to Ohio leading some to speculate what had become of her. Well now we know. Here is Clinton's "Editorial Response" to the debate opener featuring Hillary and alter-Hillary, Amy Poehler. The You Tube videos that I had have been scrubbed from You Tube - not surprising - ...
