Saturday Night Live certainly has balls. They already booked an unfunny guest host in Michael Phelps for this weekend’s season premiere, and now they’ve decided to compound the non-laughs by bringing in Barack Obama, an unfunny politician. At least he speaks clearly and doesn’t have an underbite like certain 8-time-gold-medal-winners we know. His sketch is still being worked out, but expect lipstick-on-a-pig jokes-a-plenty.Meanwhile the real question remains, will Tina Fey take on the role of Sarah Palin? SNL scribe Simon Rich was already ominously silent on the issue, and now Seth Meyers, the smirkiest Update anchor in recent memory, continues that tight-lipped tradition in the above clip from the Today Show. Despite being pummeled with good-natured jocularity from all four hosts Meyers reveals nothing. I guess we may actually have to tune in and find out. (UPDATE: It seems as though Barack has canceled his appearance on SNL due to Hurricane Ike. Looks like we'll have to content ourselves with Phelps and Phelps alone.)
