Tina Fey Plans To ‘Leave Earth’ If Palin Becomes VP
Despite her ability to do an almost uncanny impersonation of Sarah Palin, Tina Fey has vowed to stop portraying her on Saturday Night Live (or anywhere else, for that matter) if she and John McCain win the November election. If they do win, Tina jokes, she plans to leave … the planet:
Tina Fey told TVGuide she’ll be “done” if John McCain and Sarah Palin win the election next month. The “SNL” veteran who has come back to play the Republican Vice Presidential candidate (and whose own show, “30 Rock,” is still nowhere to be seen), said, “We’re gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I’m done. I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth.” Fey also said it’s a busy but exciting time for “SNL.” “Election time is always good for [SNL] and this is a bonkers election,” she said. “And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person, she’s very likeable. She’s fun to play, and the two bits with Amy [Poehler], that was super fun,” Fey says.
Hee hee … I feel ya, Tina. Altho she claims that she will be “done” with the Palin potrayals if McCain wins the presidency that doesn’t necessarily mean that she would be “done” if Senator Barack Obama wins the presidency. I can envision Tina coming back to SNL at least one more time should Obama win the election to do a skit featuring Palin in the aftermath of her loss for the Vice Presidency. We’ve yet to see the Alaskan “First Dude” spoofed on SNL and this would be the perfect opportunity. That is a skit I’m very much looking forward to seeing. I must say, tho, that even if Tina Fey never portrays Sarah Palin again she deserves our most heartfelt thanks for the work she’s done already. Her lampooning of the VP nominee has been insanely funny already. She’s done her former SNL cohorts a huge service by helping them achieve new highs in ratings. Well done, Tina :) Your hard work is much appreciated and I salute you.

GOODBYE Tina! You won’t be missed. Better start packing now
October 14th, 2008 at 9:48 am
She won’t be missed? hahaha… maybe by those without a sense of humor.
If you leave Tina, I’m coming with you. Don’t leave me with these humorless zealots!
October 14th, 2008 at 10:12 am
People are so dramatic!
October 14th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Tina, please take me with you! LOL. The woman is a genius…I’m glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. Come on, y’all, she wrote Mean Girls!

I have such a girl crush on Tina Fey. If she’s going, I’m hitching a ride. And I’m bringing Kristen Wiig along too. Damn, I can’t wait for 30 Rock to premiere!

OMG. The last eight years every election cycle it’s been “I’m leaving the country if Bush wins.” Bush has won and people never keep their word…Tina please, do us all a favor and leave earth. I’m totally excited to see what technologies you have that are going to enable you to make millions of dollars as a TV star on some other planet.
This is just absurd.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:52 am
sfmom, a lot of people actually did leave the country once Bush got re-elected. Some friends of mine, as a matter of fact. And PS it’s a complete joke! lighten up.

These hollywood “celebrities” are pathetic. so dramatic and so self-involved it’s disgusting. 90% of them don’t even have a high-school dipolma but they expect the nation to listen to them preach about a political candidate…PLEASE! I doubt they even understand their beloved candidate’s platform or can actually speak educationally in regards to his policies without a script infront of them.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:16 am
90% of hollywood celebrities don’t have a high-school diploma!!? Oh my god! Now that I’ve learned this unimpeachable fact, I will be a Republican for life. A Bachelor’s degree in Communication is way better than high-school drop-out. I guess Palin really IS qualified to be VP! Thanks for speaking educationally.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Understanding politics does not require a diploma…what an exaggerated statement!
TINA FEY FTW!
October 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Like Tina will leave the planet. All SNL will have to do is wave money in her face and she will do it. I really don’t care if she leaves if Palin becomes president or not. I don’t vote. They are all liars to me. How is that prop 8 thing working out anyhow?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Trent, I used to come to your website to escape what’s going on in the “real” world, but now I can’t do that. I wish you would have just stuck with goss. But your site has become a political forum, and I’m done with it. Goodbye.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Tina Fey does such an excellent job of portraying Palin. She can’t stop if they win. We’ll definitely need a reason to laugh if that happens.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
If Sarah Palin wins? Does Tina mean if JOHN McCAIN wins? Too many people are forgetting that Sarah Palin is NOT running for president. Poor Joe Biden. It must suck being so boring. Tina, take it down a notch, hon. You got your Emmy, so it would be swell if you could just STFU now, thanks. I’m really sick of celebrities telling me for whom I should vote. If they want to encourage people to participate in the voting PROCESS, that’s just fine, but take your propaganda and shove it. We don’t need another Oprah.

hello, she’s a comedian. She’s kidding! And… it’s FUNNY! get it yet??
October 14th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
And Trent, your sight is not even close to being a “political forum”… that’s a compliment. Fey is an actor, so this is “goss” just like Lohan’s leggings and who’s giving dirty looks to whom on The Hills.
Keep it up, we loves ya.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I don’t blame her! lol

Tina Fey is a talented comedian/actress/writer, but her bitchy political comments really make me not like her. I wish she would stick to making 30 Rock and leave her self-righteous and generally unintelligent beliefs at home.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
The same way you say Tina Fey’s opinion is unintelligent and such, I can say the same about yours. You’ll never win an argument about politics so don’t act like she’s wrong in not liking McCain/Palin.
And Trent, I’ll say it time and time again, this is YOUR blog. No one forces me to come here and the same way I skip the stuff about The Hills, I could easily skip this too. This place is a gossip website but Trent can put in his own personal opinion the same way he inserts pictures or paragraphs about his life.

Wow… all over a joke. Some of you Americans have some serious problems.
October 14th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Have a nice flight!!!
October 14th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
I rest my case.
October 14th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Wow. I can’t believe how many people here don’;t have a sense of humor.
She’s poking fun at the people who threaten to move out of the country or to Canada if x is elected.
She does an awesome impression, but really the writers aren’t challenged. Palin practically writes the material for them.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I LOVE Tina Fey as Sarah Palin! she is dead on!!! I can’t believe so many people have no sense of humor either..you don’t have to dislike Palin to find her funny my family are republicans an they are find her funny!
An the reason so many people keep saying if Palin becomes VP is because she is 1 good heart attack away from the being the leader of our country an lot of people do not want that.
I love your blog Trent keep up the good work!
October 15th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
I know she’s joking, but if a celebrity came out and said they would shoot themselves in the head if Obama won, the crazy left nuts would be screaming about racism – ugh. Hey Tina, make sure your space ship has room for Alec Baldwin – we were supposed to be rid of him 8 years ago!

Hey Sam,
90% of stars don’t have a high school diploma hmmm? can you back that up with some actual proof? Who says you need to have a diploma to know the difference between right and wrong anyhow?
Jennifer Connelly attended Yale and Stanford
Jodie Foster graduated Yale
Marin Sheen attended the National University of Ireland
Susan Sarandon – The Catholic University of America
Tim Robins – Attended SUNY and UCLA
Robert Redford – attended u of colorado, pratt institute, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Angelina Jolie – attended NY university…
Brad Pitt – University of Missouri
Paul Newman – Kenyon College and Yale.
I could keep going…but i think this is enough, you should check your facts before spouting lies. Just because people choose to act as a profession does not mean they aren’t qualified to talk about politics or that they aren’t entitled to an opinion on US politics, and to voice it.
We do have a thing called the 1st Amendment afterall that guarantees free speech to ALL citizens. Maybe you ought to brush up on your education and read the US Bill of Rights?!?
October 17th, 2008 at 3:15 am
PS. Sam if you watched the debates you would have noticed that Sarah Palin read from a script as well and wouldn’t answer questions outside of that prepared script. Why? because she is uninformed and not capable of answering the questions posed to her.
As far as education goes…Did you know Palin’s daughter is a high school drop out and so is her future son in law…yay!
October 17th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Good bye Tina! But first, allow Sarah to make an appearance on your god-awful show.
