Hollywood’s love of sequels has hit television.

Now that two years have passed, it’s finally time for the Family Guy to debut the next installment in their Star Wars trilogy. Unfortunately, those looking for it will have to their local store—at least for now.

In an effort to maximize profits, FOX has decided to deliver its Empire Strikes Back parody on DVD before airing it on television. They’ve also chosen December 22 as the release date. I’d say it’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.

Obama and Biden React to SNL Impersonations

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video

So we already know how the McCain camp feels about Saturday Night Live‘s Palin sketches. (Answer: “Sexist.”) We also know what the vice-presidential candidate thought about Tina Fey’s work. (She claimed the first parody was “hilarious,” though she only watched it with the volume off.) But what do the Democrats think of their impersonations?

In a joint interview with Entertainment Tonight, Barack Obama and Joe Biden (alongside their wives) react to the SNL sketches. While they don’t specifically address the content of the spoofs, they do seem to take it all in stride.

McCain Camp Reacts to SNL Parody

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip

The minute we all got a look at Sarah Palin, the bevy of available jokes was suddenly self-evident. The woman does, after all, look a great deal like comedienne Tina Fey. That Fey is an SNL alum and still pals with NBC is just the icing on the cake. The inevitable SNL season premiere followed, showing the inevitable pairing of screen buds Fey and Amy Poehler as none other than Palin and Hillary Clinton.

The millions of SNL viewers found it hysterical and the video has been posted on a multitude of entertainment sites since. John McCain’s camp, however, didn’t find their funny bones tickled.
