See More... NBC's "Saturday Night Live" premiered its newest season last month to ratings gold, thanks to 'SNL' alum Tina Fey's impersonation of GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- but now the real Palin may appear on the show herself!

Lorne Michaels, "SNL"'s executive producer, said Wednesday that  he is not actively seeking Palin, but that John McCain's campaign had reached out to the comedy show to say they enjoyed Fey's first appearance on Sept. 13, says the Associated Press.

Michaels told the AP that he prefers to keep walk-on appearances under wraps, in case of cancellations made by high-profile guests -- like Barack Obama's decision not to appear due to Hurricane Ike. "I think we looked stupid," Michaels told the AP.

Lorne says the idea of having Fey play Palin came from everyone around him, including his doorman.

As for Palin, the AP reports she would be thrilled to appear on the sketch-comedy show and loves Fey's impersonation of her.

"I love her, she's a hoot and so talented," Palin said about Fey. "It would be fun to meet her, imitate her, and keep on giving her new material."

  • Why is her daughters pregnancy news. She will be married and is handling the situation correctly instead of the way the liberals would handle it and just kill it and call it a medical procedure. Palin rocks, I only wish it was Palin McCain

  • INSIDER, get it right, the M4 is not a machine gun, it isnt even an assault weapon in real terms.

    I think the INSIDER knows this, and just plainly lied so they can pump up there ratings and prove there osama supporters.
    thankfully, she demonstrates our second amendment right, and isnt a coward.

  • Sarah Palin and her husband belong to a group with Joe Vogle. Joe Vogle is an Anti American activist that wants Alaska to withdraw from the USA...Now that McCain is aware of this, he will let Palin go.....right?

  • I believe that she would rather be a hockey mom rather than holding the title as
    Vice President of The United States of America.

  • She's too inexperienced to be a president, much less a vice-president a breath away from the would-be president with one foot in the grave and the other foot on banana peels. No more Bush policies of oppressions. What a horrible looking woman! What a sorry mom! Her "work" was more important rather than be there for her daughter, and look, the daughter continually seeks out the affection she never received from mom /family.

  • So WHAT the kid is pregnant?! Leave the kids out of this. That's what I say. And I'm not even a supporter of Palin.
    This statement was inappropriate and unneccesary and maybe someone has to remind you how cruel that is.

  • Sarah Palin is an amazing women. She knows who she is and where she stands on issues. She doesn't try to be anymore than herself. I respect her for speaking up about things that most people would be afraid to speak up about. It never ceases to amaze me the cruelty of people. President Clinton told the people to leave his daughter out of their talk. People respected that even if they didn't respect him. I cannot believe how ugly people have gotten to strike out at Sarah without knowing this lady. Her family loves this country and are a very supportive to their children. It would be nice to see more people show respect to both these areas. We are blessed to live in the country we live in. If you haven't been out of the USA yet, you need to go to a few countries where freedom,poverty, and wars take place. You will have a whole new outlook on life.
