Tina Fey’s hit comedy series “30 Rock” may have picked up 4 Emmys, but backstage at the TV awards show the show’s creator and star faced almost as many questions about her recent portrayal of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live” as she did about her award-winning show.
As it turns out, Fey would rather not see Palin become a regular character on “SNL.”
“I want to be done playing this lady November 5th,” Fey said when asked backstage about how she feels about the election. “So, if anyone can help me be done playing her on November 5th…”
The U.S. presidential election is November 4th.
Fey added that Palin “seems like a perfectly nice lady,” but that she had been reluctant at first to admit that they look alike.
“I was very resistant to acknowledge that there was a resemblance,” Fey said. “Then my kid saw Sarah Palin on TV and said ‘That’s Mommy.’”
As for “30 Rock,” Fey said co-star Alec Baldwin had told her that her award for best actress in a comedy series meant she could now “stop apologizing for being an actor and being on the show.”
Finally, Fey asked enlisted reporters’ help in finding her purse, which disappeared after she left it under her seat in L.A.’s Nokia theater.
“If anyone sees a small purple purse with an iPhone in it with a picture of a naked toddler,” she said.

- Posted by Julie“You see us conservatives aren’t hypocrites like you liberals.”
This kind of talk is divisive and pointless.
- Posted by StephaniePossibly charged rape kits to victims, does not believe in evolution, religion is questionable, encourages shooting bears and wolves from lowing flying planes, troopergate, no abortions for rape or incest, supported the bridge to no where before she opposed it. Has a pregnant teenager, her only experiences with Foreign Relations is the fact she can see Russia from AL, Questioned a librarian about book banning and later the librarian was fired. Does not believe in Global Warming, and left her city in debt as Mayor.
If you think she is a good candidate you deserve what you get.

- Posted by Tina Fey wants to “be done” with Sarah Palin after November :: Hollywood NewsroomLook, Palin is proving every day that she’s every bit the airhead that Fey made her out to be. She’s the one who said you could see Russia from Alaska to prove her foreign policy experience (LOL).
- Posted by SchnurdleToday she’s at the U.N. to meet her very first world leaders…George Bush need not come close for a photo op.
And the nasty old media needn’t bother asking any questions…they’re banned except for cameras (to show she’s close to world leaders.
Palin has had two media appearances. Biden more than eighty since the nomination.
Sarah is proving she’s completely uninformed and very afraid to show it. This is a public democratic election process? Not even close.
Fey doesn’t have to lift a finger. Sarah is making comedy every day.
Tina Fey does not have ajob without Sarah Palin.

- Posted by Celebrity Baby ScoopAccording to Palin, God is on our side. Isn’t that what islamic extremists say. I guess she is an Assemblies of God extremist. Is there really any difference??
Palin quote:
“Pray for our Military men and woman who are striving to do what is also right for this Country. Pray that our leaders, our National Leaders, are sending them on a task that is from God. That is what we must pray for. That there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.”
- Posted by JohnThe conservatives on this blog wouldn’t sound so defensive if they didn’t have strong reason to be defensive. Tone down the vitriol folks and start explaining the last eight years to the rest of us. If you can provide valid justification, then perhaps many of us will give your opinions more credibility.
- Posted by kitsIf you think the latest SNL skit suggesting Todd Palin committed incest is acceptable, I wonder when we will see the script that hints Joe Biden is doing his daughter? We won’t.
Liberals must stop with the double-standards. http://www.sermonzone.com/blog/2008/09/2 2/snl-incest-joke-is-evil/
- Posted by Dr.BruceWhile many people were quick to point out the error that Palin was not a member of the AIP, NOBODY mentioned the fact that it is true that her husband was and that she attended many meetings.
It’s also quite funny how threatened some people are about anyone who has an opinion! As if just because you are an actor or musician you are no longer allowed to speak your mind. Not the world I want to live in.
I hope Tina never has to play that unqualified, lying loser again. This past week, as John McCain’s past caught up with him and revealed his true colors, will go a long way towards that goal.
- Posted by SteveEric, I value my freedom, but the Religious Republicans don’t. I don’t want their religiion mixed into my daily life. There are many republican views I agree with, but for them to shape the country based on religion is something I should not have to tolerate.
- Posted by LisaWhen Hollywood falls the whole world falls with it. It’s where the money is at. You go Tina, at least you have the wits to say what you feel unlike these Bush-monkies who let the party speak for them. Let them send their own kids out to war and see if they don’t change their tunes.
- Posted by SkyeI too would like to be done with Sarah Palin by Nov. 4th. I think she’s unqualified to be a V.P., let alone a possible President! John McSame only picked her because he wanted to difuse the election with the hype and hysteria that the media plays into. McSame is loving this…let’s turn this election to more important issues - our future is at stake.
- Posted by Liz O.C.Just because someone is a good actor doesn’t mean they know squat about politics. Many of the people in Hollywood don’t even have high school diploms. I’ll do my own reading and researh and decide for myself who is the best canidate. Go Sarah.
- Posted by BARBARAYou people need to get a life. Ms Fey is just an actress playing a part that she didn’t even want to play. She did a great job playing Ms Palin, regardless of politics.
- Posted by highergroundWhen will Whoopie play Michele on SNL. It is a good likeness and the angry factor is there.
- Posted by RmmWho does Tina Fey think she is? I like Governor Palin and hope she wins. I don’t go to Fey or Alec Baldwin (Kim Bassinger’s ex husband ) for political advice. Hey, Alec: weren’t you supposed to leave the country eight years ago?
- Posted by AlibabaConcerning my latest post, above. Looks like Obama’s chickens may be coming home to roost, should the MSM have any interest in printing truth.

- Posted by KurtacusAnother member of the entertainment industry who is a liberal Democrat? Yawn!!!!!
I predict in 20 years, Sarah Palin will be viewed as a well-known while Tina will be “Tina Who.”
