Rumor: Sarah Palin To Appear On SNL / Weekend Update

Rumors continue to circulate that Sarah Palin will appear on Saturday Night Live to combat Tina Fey's gosh darn perfect impression of her. No official confirmation as of yet. The Chicago Sun-Times parlays that in lieu of a rerun this Saturday, Palin may pop up on the first Weekend Update prime time special, airing this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. EST on NBC: "some sort of Palin tweak of Fey's American Express commercials is [rumored to be] in the works." We think it would be more appropriate if Palin teamed up with Mark Wahlberg to talk to a moose and then winked it to death in front of a live and horrified studio audience. Meanwhile, Vulture reports that SNL's Congress-skewering bailout sketch has been yanked from Hulu and NBC.com, possibly igniting a censorship controversy.

In semi-related TV news, the NY Post reports that John McCain may reschedule a much publicized and abruptly canceled appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman for mid-October.

Discuss: Do you think SNL should have Palin on? If so, what should happen?
