15SepPalin Overshadows Phelps & Bizarre Digital Short on SNL

By now you’ve seen the infamous (and extraordinarily well done) clip of Tina Fey nailing a brilliant impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL on Saturday Night.  But what got overshadowed was Michael Phelps HORRIFIC performance on SNL.  I’m not saying it was terrible, but the sketches he was in are making Vin Diesel look robbed for not taking home an Oscar.
Most appalling was how they basically stuck Phelps in the locker room for the same damn sketch Peyton Manning was in.  Something tells me that little weasel of a head writer, Seth Myers, was behind that.  I gotta wait months for a new SNL and I essentially get a rerun sketch.
Phelps had a short monologue and read of the cue cards worse than Christopher Walken.  Lets just this fish, was out of water!  (That would be my snobby, NYT-esque one liner!)
But on a good note there was a bizarre SNL Digital Short featuring Adam Sandler lite: Andy Samberg.  Here it is.  Pretty good.  Video Below…
