OBAMA SCORES BIG LAUGHS ON SNL

Barack Obama surprised national viewers Saturday night when the presidential hopeful appeared on the long running comedy show Saturday Night Live. The opening sketch involved a Halloween party featuring a bored Hillary (played by Amy Poehler) and an outrageous Bill Clinton (Darrell Hammond) speaking with the other Democratic candidates in their Halloween costumes.
Suddenly a tall figure in a suit entered wearing an Obama mask. Hammond commented on what a nice Obama mask it was and asked who was under there. The studio audience and Americans everywhere cheered for almost a full minute as the actual Obama revealed himself from under his own mask. After trading a few punch lines with the Bill and Hillary impersonators Obama delivered the shows opening catch phrase- “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
With Obama’s natural charm he should be on television more often- hopefully as President of the United States.
