NBC's Saturday Night Live began their latest season last weekend, a week earlier than usual because producer Lorne Michaels says he wanted to immediately get immersed in the presidential race.
That means that like in 2008, the program will begin airing half-hour special episodes on Thursday night. When Tina Fey played Sarah Palin four years ago, viewers couldn't get enough. Will that work this time around? Who knows, but Mitt Romney certainly is playing his part in helping the cause, especially after his speech at a private fund-raiser in Boca Raton was released earlier this week where he mocked the 47 percent of the country on government assistance as not being his voters.
Last night SNL did a classic parody of that and the overall impression that Romney is giving out about him not exactly being a man of the people. It began with a parody of Fox News' "Fox & Friends" morning show.
