Remember when this was the craziest person Biden ever debated?

@ujjwalarora4159 5 years ago

This is Sarah Palin and not Tina Fey and no one can convince me otherwise.

Ah the good old times when we thought Palin was the lowest you can get

God I miss when Sarah palin was the craziest thing in politics 😂😂

The real Sarah Palin could enter a Sara Palin impersonator contest and still come second to Tina Fey! Utterly brilliant! 🤣

Oh God.
Biden has literally had to debate crazies for the last two decades.

Gosh this seems so normal compared to the apocalypse we have now

Would be kinda cool to get Tina Fey to play JD Vance now

"I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers"....this may be one of the most slam dunk lines in SNL history. Never has hypocrisy been called out so artfully.

Biden 2009: “There were moments when I wanted to say ‘this lady is a dummy!’ But I’m better than that!”
Biden 2020: “Will you shut up, man?”

Latifah is underrated in this. Her reactions to the absolute nonsense is priceless.

@fuckoffannoyingutube 6 years ago

every one is so focused on Tina's great performance, but what about Queen Latifah managing to hold her laughter the whole time? that was olympic levels of restraint

“I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred nstitution between two unwilling teenagers.”

This seems so quaint in 2026.

Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump
Larry David as Bernie Sanders
Kate McKinnon as Elizabeth Warren

all iconic, but Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin is unparalleled

Tina Fey is a better Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin herself.

@bbiggs4327 5 years ago

This looks more like a real debate than the one we just had in 2020.

The first time I heard Tina Fey say "my two greatest loves have always been Jews and Cuban food" regarding Florida I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. This is one of SNL's best segments ever. Fey as Palin could not have been more perfect.
