Jimmy Fallon was quite popular, many believed that he and Horatio Sanz were far too derivative of Farley and Sandler, from Sanz's constant bumbling right down to Fallon playing the guitar and singing during Weekend Update. Both were criticized for laughing through their lines. This became more common, in spite of the fact that Lorne Michaels swore his show would never become amateurish like The Carol Burnett Show
Funny. SNL had to go to extraordinary lengths to mock the Democrats in their sketches (ie. the Bush/Pelosi/Barney Frank press conference, Biden rally on the last episode), including exaggerating their personas.
But for Tina Fey? All she needed to do was to match word-for-word with Palin's, and those ratings went through the roof! Looks like the rule in comedic scriptwriting is "If the real thing's actually funny, it doesn't need a touch-up."

I enjoyed seeing and hearing the SNL cast and you know what? Lorne Michaels sounds nothing like a Canadian.
