Sarah Palin Powers Saturday Night Live Ratings

Sarah Palin's appearence on Saturday Night Live (October 18, 2008) helped the show score its best ratings since 1994. Most of the sketches revolved around her refusal to participate; in the shows opener, Palin and producer Lorne Michaels looked on from backstage as Tina Fey impersonated her during a fake press conference.

"I really wish that that had been you," Michaels tells her. Palin responds, "Well, Lorne, you know, I just didn't think it was a realistic depiction of how one of my press conferences would've gone."

NBC said SNL enjoyed its best numbers in the nation's top TV markets since a post-Olympic, post-knee-clubbed Nancy Kerrigan hosted in 1994.
