SNL Makes Plans for Saturday Debate Sketch
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live,


Although Saturday Night Live has not yet guaranteed a debate sketch this weekend, we are one step closer to knowing what one might look like.
According to Entertainment Weekly, if the political parody makes Saturday’s cut (as if the show has anything better to creatively offer), Oscar-nominated actress Queen Latifah will be stepping in as Gwen Ifill. Ifill - a senior correspondent for The New Hour with Jim Lehrer and the managing editor of PBS’ Washington Week - was the moderator for Thursday’s debate.

While it’s assumed Tina Fey will reprise her role as Sarah Palin, there’s been no word on who might play Joe Biden.
Anne Hathaway hosts tomorrow night’s broadcast of SNL. Two weeks later, Josh Brolin - the star of Oliver Stone’s W. - gets his turn.
