Bush by a long shot. After completing the role as the beleaguered president for Oliver Stone's 'W,' Brolin will reprise his role at a far funnier venue: 'Saturday Night Live.' The timing is perfect for Josh Brolin to host tonight's 'Saturday Night Live' episode. 'W' opened yesterday, and tonight's 'Saturday Night Live will feature none other than Sarah Palin, who's been parodied by Tina Fey ad infinitum. We've seen several hilarious 'Saturday Night Live' parodies thus far in the 2008 election. Tonight, we'll find out if Josh Brolin has the comedic chops to hang with the likes of Tina Fey. Check out some of the other 'Saturday Night Live' parodies we've seen below. And be sure to check back tonight for footage from Josh Brolin's hosting duties tonight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Political Parody:** Opportunity for comedians to create humorous content through political characters - **Satirical Sketches:** Potential for more satirical sketches on current events to engage with audiences - **Celebrity Impersonation:** Demand for skilled impersonators to entertain audiences through mimicry ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry can leverage parody as a way to entertain and engage audiences - **Marketing:** Marketing campaigns can incorporate satire and parody to capture audience's attention - **Comedy Clubs:** Opportunity for comedy clubs to showcase political satire and parody ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sketch Comedy Retail Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-lady.md) - [Cheeky Series Star Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superbowl-ad-with-aubrey-plaza.md) - [Comedic Mascot Roasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-day-commercial.md) - [Blockbuster Shopping Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-friday-ad.md) - [Humorous Star-Studded Chip Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches.md) - [Actor-Mocking Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-england-ipa.md) - [Comedic Groundhog Day Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-for-days.md) - [Political Podcast Milestones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-rogan-hosted-former-president-trump.md) - [Cheeky Movie-Referencing Mustards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dont-worry-dijon.md)
