Queen Latifah Set to Grill Sarah Palin

Posted Oct 3rd 2008 12:29PM by TMZ Staff

Well-placed sources tell TMZ Queen Latifah is getting in the middle of the Sarah Palin/Joe Biden VP debate by portraying last night's moderator, PBS journalist Gwen Ifill, on "SNL" this week.

For the third time this season, we're told Tina Fey will be back, hysterically not answering questions as Palin. You betcha! No word yet on who has been tapped to play Biden.

Thanks to Latifah -- and since "SNL" has no female African-American cast member -- the world is saved from seeing Amy Poehler in black face.

136. It's no wonder Sarah Palin wants to speak to the American public without the "filter" of the media. She would love to be able to spin half truths and misinformation without anyone around to call her on it. The idea of her getting anywhere near the White House is a scary, scary thing. Go Tina Fey and SNL!!

137. ria~

So speaking DIRECTLY to the viewers during a LIVE debate has more potential to be "filtered" and 'spun" than doing a TAPED interview by a hater of your politics, who wishes to destroy your image?

Next time you go for a job interview, maybe it would be more appropriate to take along somebody that doesn't particularly LIKE you (maybe even hates you) so that way, the person who is interviewing you can get a more honest description or impression of yourself and your credentials?

That's reasonable and fair isn't it? No? Maybe sorta? Everybody loves you so no worries? Well, good for you!

138. I don't recall a black female cast member, on SNL.They tend to be "too angry" appearing. Like MO and her whitey hatred. Chilly bunch o biotches.
