Tina Fey: Sarah Palin's 'keeping it tight' for her age

"When I first saw her, I didn't think we looked alike at all," Fey confessed that she was reluctant at first to play the Republican vice presidential nominee. "Then during the convention, I started to think, 'Ok, maybe a little.'"

Now Fey wishes she looked more like Palin.

"I'll tell you, that lady is five times better-looking than I am," she admits. "She's 44? She's got none of that droopy s--t. She's keeping it tight!"

Fey first appeared as Palin for the show's season premiere last month in a sketch with SNL cast member Amy Poehler, who played Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Fey's next impersonation of Palin, two weeks later, was once again alongside Poehler, this time disguised as CBS anchor Katie Couric. The two mocked Palin's interview with Couric earlier that week. Fey then spoofed the debate between Palin and Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden, played by SNL regular Jason Sudeikis, with Queen Latifah portraying debate moderator Gwen Ifill, of PBS.

More recently, Fey appeared alongside Sarah Palin on the show. It was the first appearance of the Alaskan governor on the late-night comedy show.
