Huffington is reporting, sourcing TMZ, that IF there is a VP debate sketch on tonight's SNL, Latifah will be playing Gwen Ifill.

During the debates my daughter said, "Ooh, Keenan has a sketch this weekend!".. Guess not . Although he looks alot more like Ifill that Queen Latifah

Yeah- I thought Keenan would get to play Gwen because that's about all the characters he can play. He seems to always play the black women. Personally, I think he adds nothing to the show and by casting Latifah- if it's true- I guess the show thinks the same way!

OHHHHH. This is going to be a FUN show tonight. I hope Tina makes this a weekly thing until the election.

I am not a fan of SNL anymore, but ever since Tina Fey was rumored to make that first appearance as Sarah Palin I have been watching the show just to catch her. She is simply brilliant in those sketches. What's sad is that the writers barely change Sarah Palin's actual dialogue for her sketches.

"What's sad is that the writers barely change Sarah Palin's actual dialogue for her sketches."

Scary, too.

Who do you think will play Biden? My guess Darrell Hammond.

There is a big story on Queen Latifah in the Sunday Times magazine this weekend.

I think Kenan would be so much better at it!

All the news sources are reporting it now. I love Queen Latifah!

They've done biden before but it wasn't Hammond. I think it was Sedakis.

Do you think Anne Hathaway will be Palin or do we get Tina Fey? I cant imagine anyone else doing it but Tina at this point!

Tina Fey's impression can't be topped, I think. Having said that, I'd still love to see Hathaway take a crack at it.

No, I feel like Hathaway's would be a cop-out. I'd rather see no sketch than see someone else do it.

Tina's got to play Palin...it would be funny if Anne Hathaway played Bristol

She knows about The Maverick drinking game.

Credit to Hathaway for talking about the Italian guy and her gullability.
