After being spoofed by Tina Fey, we see the real Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. Not afraid to poke fun at herself, Saturday Night Live was able to recruit Sarah Palin to play herself.
Sarah Palin as Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live has the potential to be one of the most viral comedic sketches of the year. After the tremendous success of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL, the Alaskan governor stepped up to the plate to poke fun at herself, from her hockey-mom mannerisms to her hunting state heritage.

We’ll add the video of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live as soon as possible.
