I say use a sock monkey!

Just get Barack! He was AWESOME

Common, Jaleel White can't be that busy!

May I recommend Barack Obama to swing by and play himself. It might be worth the effort even at the loss of a little sleep.

Neither Chevy Chase nor Dan Aykroyd looked anything like Gerald Ford or Jimmy Carter. In fact, Aykroyd did a great Carter even when Aykroyd had a mustache.

But of course, in those days, hard as it is to imagine now, SNL was funny, relevant, and important.

Today, SNL reminds me of when a version of Creedence Clearwater Revival tried going on tour without John Fogerty, i.e., bullshit.

They should just have a series of sketches detailing their troubles finding a comedian to play Obama. Much like the classic casting sketch of the Star Wars with Kevin Spacey imitating Jack Lemon trying out fo the Chewy role. They should have all of their current cast running through any and all characters they actually have (which isn't alot) ala the American Idol reject shows....They can also bring in a few new people and cameos to try to fill the spot. Or they could just hire me!!

SNL is so weak anymore. They are too right wing and won't risk offending the big media companies and high powered politicians to be pointed and funny like they were in the early days.
Mad does better political humor then SNL. They trashed Kucinich and Edwards and showed favoritism toward Hillary in a recent skit.
Only TV Fun house has the guts to poke at BuSh.
The BuSh administration, RepubliCONS and the christian extremists are such great fodder for humor and yet SNL wimps out.
Only when a good musical guest is on do i watch.

Jordan Carlos is a good enough guess, Rachel, but the betting money seems to be on Donald Glover, who tried out his Obama impersonation Tuesday night at a NYC comedy show and writes for 30 Rock, which practically makes him part of the family already. I'm covering this all on my site, The Comic's Comic, conveniently located at http://www.thecomicscomic.com!

That guy in the picture looks nothing like Obama. Hey, I have an idea -- let's get Obama himself to do it.


HA!

Darrell Hammond played Jesse Jackson well--how about one of the white guys? They seem to have several skinny white guys available.

I wonder if Maya Rudolph could pull off playing him. She is very talented.

And this is important WHY???

SNL is a tired shadow of it's former self. Lorne and Co. would be best served, like Hillary, to exit gracefully.

Is Garrett Morris available?
