SNL Crowns Bono “The King of Ireland”
As an American immersed in following the current Presidential race, I especially look forward to Saturday nights because SNL is funny again. And the skits that are working are the ones that feature dead-on impersonations of the current candidates for office (and former winners). Darrell Hammond nails GOP contender John McCain and former President Clinton, and Tina Fey couldn’t be better as Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin.
Last night, in a sketch making fun of the recent Katie Couric interview with Palin, they couldn’t help but reference her encounter with our favorite front-man (though in reality, they only spoke by telephone).
In case you missed it, I’ve posted it here. I hope you’ll laugh as hard as I did…
