NBC aired a new Thursday night edition of Saturday Night Live last night and offered a couple of really funny new politically-slanted skits. Last night’s ep featured a guest appearance by funnyman Will Ferrell reprising his role as George W. Bush offering a comedic official proclamation of endorsement for the campaign of John McCain (played by Darrell Hammond) and Sarah Palin (played by the amazing Tina Fey) for president and vice president respectively. Here is a group shot from the ep’s opening skit of the comics posing for a photo in the SNL Oval Office:

Appearing as President Bush on the primetime edition of “Saturday Night Live,” Will Ferrell offered his political “strategery” to Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin. Ferrell reprised his famed impression of the president on the live “Weekend Update” special Thursday to give an “impromptu” evening address to the nation. He spoke about the election between John McCain and Barack Obama — both candidates, he said, that are “heavily patriotized” and “display much characterization.” He then gave his endorsement to McCain and Palin, something that they apparently didn’t want. Ferrell said he was unaware that his approval ratings were low because he had several months ago declared the Oval Office a “bummer free zone.” Speaking to Fey again appearing as Palin, Ferrell informed her that her role as vice president was “the most important in the land” and that the “president can do nothing without checking with the vice president.” Fey corrected him that he had it backward. Eventually Darrell Hammond as McCain turned up to reluctantly receive the endorsement. The sketch between Ferrell and Fey was the meeting of two of the most popular political impressions in the show’s history. It might have been complete only if Chevy Chase stopped by as Gerald Ford, Dana Carvey appeared as H.W. Bush and Amy Poehler joined as Hillary Rodham Clinton. An alum to the NBC comedy show, Ferrell was the latest guest star to make an appearance on “SNL,” which has seen its ratings soar this election season. Fey has become a virtual cast member again, thanks to the popularity of her Palin impression.

OMG … LOL … these SNL skits keep gettin’ better. I just love how they are pulling out all the stops to ensure that this year’s political satire is so brills. It has been ages since SNL has been so Must See. But, as funny as this explanation of the Ferrell/Fey/Hammond skit is, nothing beats watching the real thing. After the jump, check out the SNL skit titled Bush Endorsement in full …

Last night, NBC aired a special half hour episode of Saturday Night Live in order to capitalize on the current election year. I’m not sure why but tomorrow night’s ep of SNL will be a repeat (they are reairing the season premiere with Michael Phelps as host) so last night’s new ep was a way for SNL to poke fun at the second Presidential Debate that took place earlier this week. Here is SNL‘s version of the second debate between Senator Barack Obama and John McCain:

LOLOLOL! If you watched the actual Presidential Debate then you know that this skit hits all the funny high points. I think the Tom Brokaw bits are the funniest but the impersonations of the two candidates are pretty dead-on. Last night’s ep of SNL only featured this skit and a Weekend Update with Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers (which was marginally funny but not amazing … as usual). I have loved the SNL versions of all the debates thus far … and you?
