Tina Fey As Sarah Palin NBC's Most Watched Web Video Ever

Hollywood Reporter:

The Peacock felt gale-force winds beneath its wings this week on the Internet.

A trio of unrelated events conspired to give NBC Universal record traffic at three Web locations: CNBC.com, NBC.com and iTunes.

Instability on Wall Street this week made CNBC.com a prime destination, delivered the site's largest audience ever, according to internal data provided by Omniture.

It was Tina Fey's "Saturday Night Live" spoof of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday that gave NBC.com its most-watched viral video ever. The video not only topped past favorites like "D--- in a Box" and "Lazy Sunday," but managed to outdo copies uploaded to YouTube.

Users of Apple's popular digital storefront had no problem relocating NBC Uni's TV shows now that a new deal between the companies on Sept. 9 restored episodes. More than 1 million downloads for NBC Uni TV properties have been tallied since then, according to Apple.

Don't expect much from SNL. They had a cartoon figure in the WH for 7 years and couldn't find their Chaplin to demolish him.

This clip deserves all the accolades it gets. It was smart and funny. And biting commentary. Everything good satire is supposed to be.

People make this big stink about Palin being Vice President & that she should be asked more difficult questions, but, who is Obama's running mate again? People know nothing about his running mate, because he is never asked ANY questions. People are sexiest for the fact that no one has questioned Biden's experience. How does someone honestly think Obama has anymore experience than Palin, is it because she is a WOMAN? If anyone wants to discuss who has the most experience, than they should stop looking at color and start looking at the real candidate for President-McCain!

If you don't know anything about Joe Biden, that says a lot about YOU. You might want to do a little googling before posting something like this in the future.

Biden has been on Meet the Press 42 times. He has been constantly grilled over the years and welcomes it. You are very incorrect in your appraisal of him. Palin is inept. President McCain is losing ground mentally, and it is really sad, but it is true. He makes constant mistakes, not just once in awhile, but daily, about things he should know about.

An American Embarrassment! Her foreign policy experience, "I can see Alaska from my backyard." She said this! These are her words! It's not a black-white thing for me. I'm black and have voted for whites all my life, Republican and Democrat! However, everytime she opens her mouth to answer a question (which has not been too many times--I now see why), her intellegence is revealed! America has many capable women--Republican and Democrat; she's a joke!

The difference between Obama and Palin--Obama's been vetted through the Democratic vetting process; Palin was appointed--Shotgun wedding!

Where have you been???? Have you not been paying attention to the long primary, let alone the general campaign. Obama's message has been consistent; McCain does know his a'''s from his elbow.

And look where experience has got us .... Dick Cheney had quite a resume before he nominated himself as VP to run with Bush .... and Bush was a governor.

Experience is over-rated. It's common sense, critical thinking skills, surrounding yourself with the best and brightest, and GOOD judgment!

Joe Biden has given 80 interview since his pick. Sarah Palin gave two, and we know how those went.

[Syymone]

I think you are mistaken......If these ratings are accurate I think the curiosity actually comes from people looking to see what reaffirms why they won't be voting for McCain!

[Triangle1]

Apparently, people find Sarah and Hillary more interesting to watch than Obama reading from a teleprompter. And they aren't even up for the big job. http://mespace.wordpress.com

Conservatives are going to have to learn to come up with their own ideas. This copy-cat rhetoric just makes them look bad. Not that they don't deserve to look bad.
