Obama on SNL Weekend Before Election?
Will He Fight Mark Wahlberg?
In the wake of
an awkward and unnecessary Sarah Palin appearance on
Saturday Night Live this weekend, news comes that
Lorne Michaels, who recently donated $4,600 to
Barack Obama's presidential campaign, may have coaxed the Illinois senator into appearing on SNL the Saturday before the election.
I heard from one of Sarah’s aides this morning that at the obligatory SNL after party, a slightly affected Seth Meyers blurted out something to the effect of “…yeah, but just wait til you see what we have cooked up for Obama’s appearance right before the election.” You may remember that Obama “canceled” his appearance on the show on opening night because of Hurricane Ike. But sources now say that it could have been a ploy cooked up by Lorne Michaels and David Axelrod to save Obama for the November 1st show… right before the election.
