Alec Baldwin Defends Sarah Palin’s SNL Appearance
October 21st, 2008
Alec Baldwin has defended ‘Saturday Night Live’ for having Sarah Palin as a guest star on the show this past weekend (October 18) saying, “It’s a comedy show. It’s not ‘Meet the Press.’
The media has criticized the show for inviting the Alaskan Governor to appear in a skit, in which Palin poked fun at herself and Tina Fey impersonated the Republican vice presidential nominee.
Baldwin wrote a blog for The Huffington Post on Monday (October 20) saying, “‘Saturday Night Live’ is a comedy show. It’s not ‘Meet the Press.’ It doesn’t “ask the tough questions” or “set the agenda.” It attempts, with varying degrees of success, to make people laugh. That’s it. Whether they skewer and savage people in order to do so, they don’t care. When you come on a show like that, you are prepared in advance to get worked over. Palin knew that. Palin came on to be a good sport. And she was. She was polite, gracious. (More so than some of the famous actors who come through there, believe me.)”
