Tina Fey says Sarah Palin impersonation backfired

AlexisJ — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 22:38:33 +0000

You might have thought that Tina Fey‘s impersonation of Sarah Palin would have brought her show 30 Rock nothing but positive attention, but Fey seems to think that exactly the opposite is true. In her new book, Bossypants, Fey says she believes that by poking fun at the Palin family, she actually hurt 30 Rock’s chances of becoming more successful.

Fey says (obviously half-joking) that the show’s ratings have always been pretty low, and that any growth it might have received over time was very likely tempered by the anger of those who resented her for exploiting the Palin family. Fey also said in a recent interview that she’s looking forward to Julianne Moore’s portrayal of Palin for HBO, and she offered Moore her Palin wig for the part.

Alec Baldwin will be hosting the Saturday Night Live finale later this month! This is almost too fun to be true, but it seems the 30 Rock star will be returning to SNL to host the show’s last episode of the season.

Alec Baldwin on '30 Rock' (NBC)

First we finally get Betty White to host Saturday Night Live on May 8th thanks to all her adoring fans blasting away on the Internet to get her the gig. Now we get Alec Baldwin as the host of SNL‘s finale just a week later on May 15th. What a way to end the season!

NBC hasn’t officially confirmed that Baldwin will be hosting the finale, but the 30 Rock star apparently let the news slip at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner over the weekend.

This will make the 15th time Alec Baldwin has hosted Saturday Night Live, tying him with Steve Martin. Our TiVo is primed and ready!
