Fey’s Palin video hits 6 mil on NBC.com

To no one’s surprise, that “Saturday Night Live” skit with Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton has logged about 6 million views on NBC.com. (Some, however, were surprised to learn “SNL” was still on the air.)
That makes it NBC.com’s most-watched clip ever, swamping the previous champ “Dick in a Box” (with a mere 1 million views), the Hollywood Reporter says in a story about the monster week for online news and video. NBC.com’s meter says the count is 4.3 million, but there’s probably another version running around the site. Or they’re, like, really dumb liars.
NBC Universal rushed out the take-down order to YouTube as word spread about Tina Fey’s dead-on impersonation. There were a couple of crappy versions up on the ‘Tube as of Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, Apple and NBC reported that iTunes has racked up more than a million downloads for NBC Universal fare since the Sept. 9 return of Peacock content, some of it free.
Here’s the embed, all legal and nice, straight from NBC.com — anyone tired of this yet?

The SNL was last straw. No longer watch it, urging friends and family to avoid it like the plague. Those are some really sick people. NBC the same for producing it. Wonder if Brian Williams “did” one of his children? How would that play on SNL?
The incest “skit” on Sarah Palin was over the top folks. Where are you people from..I know a different planet…could be uranus?
Get a grip on reality..this crap doesn’t deserve our attention.. How about news and comedy that lift us up? Have you any clues? It can be done..
