Tina Fey returned to her old Studio 8H stomping grounds and hosted a Saturday Night Live whose two main themes were "Osama bin Laden is dead!" and "It's Mother's Day!" After a cold opening showing Osama bin Laden's videotaped last will (requesting a virgin 12-year-old Dakota Fanning), Fey launched into a song about her unborn child along with fellow SNL alum Maya Rudolph, who is also expecting. Later on, there were sketches about natural childbirth, finding Bin Laden in the sea, a Digital Short with Michael Bolton and a Republican debate featuring Sarah Palin ("It’s just so great to be back on Fox News, a network that both pays me and shows me the questions ahead of tim. I just hope that tonight the lamestream media won’t twist my words by repeating them verbatim"), Donald Trump, and many others...like Jimmy McMillan.
