SNL Is Politically Relevant Again

Lorne ”Big Daddy” Michaels no longer has to endure the wretched turmoil as to whether or not his baby’s hiatus sapped it of its political relevance. SNL’s first post-WGA strike episode plunged into the deep waters of this year’s complicated Presidential race with a raucous splash. While the opening sketch blasted both candidates — Obama as receiving uncritical love by the media; Clinton, played by Amy Poehler, as being over poised — the guest host, Tina Fey, gave a stirring pro-Clinton speech on the Weekend Update segment.

Senator Clinton, who did not get home in time to watch the show, has started referring to the episode in her stump speeches, according to The Washington Post’s campaign blog.
