Video - John McCain Does SNL - Nails It

John McCain visited the set of Saturday Night Live last night for a last ditch effort to connect with voters.

Now famous Tina Fey, acting as Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, joined the candidate in one of the funniest opening skits ever.

The sketch, a jab at the thirty-minute infomercial Barack Obama purchased last week, was intended to give the candidates some final remarks on the campaign. Unfortunately, the only airtime they could afford was on the QVC shopping network.

While the two gave their final wisdom, they also hawked Joe the plumber dolls, and Obama town hall commemorative plates - that were blank. The best product was a set of "Pork Knives" guaranteed to cut the pork from anything.

There was also a cameo by McCain's wife Cindy, who introduced expensive QVC jewelry. Sarah Palin (Tina Fey) also went rouge when she tried to sell Palin In 2012 shirts.

Also, on the Weekend Update section, McCain explained his last ditch efforts and "Radical Ideas" he may use if things don't go his way.

Later in the show, Affleck mocked Keith Olbermann in a controversial segment that drew grasps from the audience.

John McCain Returns To David Letterman Show "I Screwed Up" - Video

After canceling an earlier appearance, Senator John McCain finally visited the David Letterman show Thursday night.

At times it was uncomfortable.

David wondered if McCain cancelled because the host was not important enough and asked, "What Happened?" McCain replied, "I screwed up".

After a drilling on why McCain cancelled his last appearance, the two had a discussion about comments made on the campaign trail. The big topic was William Ayres and G. Gordon Liddy. It seems that McCain is pals with Gordon Liddy and has attended a fundraiser hosted by the Watergate felon, and Letterman drilled him about it.

Letterman did a great job of trying to ask McCain about accusations hurled at Barack Obama, but the presidential hopeful sidestepped most of the innuendo.

You be the judge after watching the video.

SNL Thursday Night Live Debates "Joe The Plumber" - Video

SNL nailed it again with their Thursday Night Live mini-episode. And we learned more about the infamous "Joe the plumber" than we ever wanted to know.

Following SNL tradition, the show started with a skit about the third Presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. Most of the debate however, revolved around the much talked about "Joe the plumber", and his magical plunger - a reference to a citizen Obama talked about at a rally speech last week.

When asked about their cabinet staff appointments, McCain mentioned he would start an executive level office of plumbing and hire, you guessed it - Joe the plumber.

The weekend update section featured a new sketch called "We Liked It", where Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler talked about the good aspects of the debate. There was also a visit from the McCain rally crazy lady, Jessie Jackson and a spoof about McCain running advertisement inside MRI machines.

But no Tina Fey? No Sarah Palin?

The show was another winner, but leaves little time for the much anticipated guest appearance of real life Sarah Palin. It is rumored we will see her this Saturday.

Saturday Night Live Spoofs Presidential Debate - Video

Saturday Night Live was on fire last night. If not for their opening skit with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as Sarah Palin and Katie Couric, then for the spoof of the Presidential debate last week.

When asked about the War in Iraq, Hammond as McCain said that he had wanted the troop surge since 1985, before the war even started.

And when criticized by Obama (Fred Armisen) that he had supported George Bush 95% of the time, Hammond responded that he had never supported President Bush, had always undermined him, abandoned his party, and was disloyal and untrustworthy to the office.

When asked how he would deal with nuclear weapons in North Korea, Obama (Armisen) said he would play the race card with North Korea.

The best part of the skit was the ending, when the camera panned to Amy Poehler as Hilary Clinton, who had shown up just in case McCain didn't make it on time.
