UPDATE!! Herc Thinks He Knows Which SNL Alum Returns Tonight!! And Is The Real Sarah Palin Headed To The Show??

I am – Hercules!!

Miss Thursday's show? Here's the whole thing:




UPDATE!! MSNBC reports that an SNL alumnus is returning for tonight's special, presumably to play Tom Brokaw:

Who used to play Brokaw?




ORIGINAL POST:

Barack Obama, John McCain and Hillary Clinton have all appeared on “Saturday Night Live” over the last two years; is Sarah Palin headed in the same direction?

Head writer Seth Meyers tells Newsday the candidate won’t be appearing on tonight’s first live Thursday installment of SNL.

SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels tells the Associated Press that he is not actively pursuing Palin, though McCain's camp did phone the show following Tina Fey's first Palin sketch to say they enjoyed it.

Palin herself has said she looks forward to meeting Fey.

Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Paula Abdul, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Joe Cocker, Alex Trebek and Neil Diamond are among the celebrities who have appeared alongside their SNL doppelgangers over the years.

Lorne Michaels has said there is some likelihood tonight’s edition could feature Fred Armisen and Darrell Hammond in a sketch depicting Tuesday’s debate in Nashville.

9:30 p.m. Thursday. NBC.
