A real slap happy time. I'm sure it it were possible, Al Jolson would replace the house band and make for a truly exceptional minstrel hour.

I heard a rumor that they've launched a nationwide search for an actor who can play Obama, but I think it's a little late.<BR/></I><BR/>I could believe that rumor because if Obama wins then they must have someone lined up to for the inevitable presidential skits that SNL will preform throughout the president's term. On the other hand if Clinton wins its no problem because they already have several white women any of which could become the presidential spoof for the next 4 years.<BR/><BR/>As far as a lack of black actors its going to be hard to find an Obama spoofer for two reasons:<BR/>1. SNL doesn't exactly have a long track record of black men. After about 30 seasons we have Garrett Morris, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Tim Meadows, Kenan Thompson and.... And there are even fewer black women (I can only think of one).<BR/>2. Given that if Obama wins someone would have to take on the task and stigma of being the first black presidential spoof.

The sting (for me anyway) occurs when I see someone who isn't of African decent darken their features to play someone who is. That said, I would have been ok with Armisen's portrayal of Obama if it was funny. It wasn't. <BR/><BR/>I also agree that the bigger picture is that the show that once helped make Eddie Murphy a household name doesn't have a suitable black actor to play Barack Obama. He's been famous for a few years now, SNL, let's get it in gear. I heard a rumor that they've launched a nationwide search for an actor who can play Obama, but I think it's a little late. <BR/><BR/>No one questioned the skit because there was no one to question it. Tina Fey broke through as the first female head writer on SNL, but when have you heard about black writers on the show? I'm sure they've had a few, but when do you hear about them? <BR/><BR/>And again, IT WASN'T EFFING FUNNY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-48491072411846323872008-03-10T23:13:00.000-05:002008-03-10T23:13:00.000-05:00I saw both weeks live.

But whatever, it's SNL, they're supposed to push limits, as far as the skit itself. As far as the actor choice, I was more bothered by that -- I'd heard they were scrambling to find a Black actor who could do Obama, so I was very surprised to see Armisen in the role! I had been waiting to find out who they'd found to be the new Obama man. Um, a can of Kiwi, that's who. <BR/><BR/>The second week ... I was disgusted and pissed. They went too far. The 'blackface' issue, the issue that there is apparently no Black actor in this country qualified to play Obama, and <I>then</I> the way they consistently portrayed him, as you so aptly described ... they went too far. <BR/><BR/>I'm usually ok giving SNL a lot more latitude than I do with other things, but that was ridiculous. <BR/><BR/>And on top of everything?
