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
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!
People are so dramatic!
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.
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.
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.
Understanding politics does not require a diploma…what an exaggerated statement!
TINA FEY FTW!
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?
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.
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.
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??
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.
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.
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.
