WATCH: Tina Fey Revives Her Sarah Palin Impression


Tina Fey briefly revived her impression of “half-governor” Sarah Palin during her appearance on Inside the Actors Studio with James Lipton. As always, it’s so good it’s almost worth hoping that Palin runs in 2016.

The former Fox News contributor made a triumphant return to CPAC last weekend, where she delivered a series of one-liners while holding a Super Big Gulp — including one where she told President Obama to step away from the teleprompter and “do his job.” An amazing critique coming from a woman reading a teleprompter, and who has no job.

Watch both and tell us who you think is funnier — on purpose.

NBC News published the “two-page prospectus” on Monday, which purports to explain how “Kyrsten Will Win Arizona” in 2024.

“She receives significant crossover support from Republicans and current polling shows her favorability as high as 34 percent with Republican voters,” the document declares, noting Sinema — if she runs — will focus on courting “a significant number of the state’s independent voters and soft Republicans turned off by their party’s rightward swing.”
