SNL returns on February 23, with Tina Fey as host

by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 13th 2008 2:03PM

Tina FeyMichael Ausiello has an updated list of when your favorite (or not-so-favorite) shows will be returning now that the strike is over, and now comes word that not only with Saturday Night Live return rather quickly, on February 23, but the first post-strike show will be hosted by 30 Rock's Tina Fey.

The show plans to do four consecutive weeks of new shows, which is one more than they usually do. This is not only because of the strike but also because it's an election year and the show has missed out on a lot of prime satire they could be doing (well, let's hope that it will be prime). I look forward to their mock Obama/Clinton debates and cast members impersonating John McCain and Mike Huckabee. And since Bill Clinton is so involved in this election, Darrell Hammond can have a regular spot again.

Juno star Ellen Page will host the next show on March 1. No word on who the musical guest will be for these two shows.

I can't wait til SNL comes back! That 15 minutes worth of hilarious comedy, surrounded by an hour or so of mediocre-to-subpar comedy, with two musical performances thrown in by whatever lame pop act some major label is trying to cram down our throats... it's all just so precious.

Oh great, now my town will be even mooore obsessed with the fact that Ellen Page is from here. That said, both shows should be pretty good. I hope Tina does some writing.

Kenan doesnt even look like Obama nor can he sound like him. Maybe they can paint Darrell Hammond or Bill Hader since they are great with voice impressions. Hammand already plays Jessie Jackson, they just put him in makeup to look black. Cheaper than hiring an Obama impersonator and better than having Kenan fail at it.
