Explosively funny and running riot from start to finish, "Weekend Update Thursday" -- "live from New York" last night -- may have disappointed viewers hoping to see Tina Fey's already legendary Sarah Palin impression; Fey appeared, but only in promos for her sitcom "30 Rock," which is derived from backstage life at "SNL" and returns for a new season on Oct. 30.
In her absence, "SNL" Executive Producer Lorne Michaels and his merry band of writers and performers carried on splendidly, dividing the show into a 10-minute parody of the most recent debate between Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain and a 20-minute version of the "Weekend Update" feature that included jokes about the economy, O.J. Simpson, Bollywood and other topics in addition to the campaign.
