Tina Fey may visit ‘SNL’ . . . as Palin?

Saturday’s season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” could have a special guest: former cast member and writer Tina Fey, whose resemblance to a certain Republican vice presidential candidate has been widely noted.

Executive producer Lorne Michaels told reporters today that he’s considering doing a Sarah Palin skit Saturday, and there are discussions about Fey returning to take the role. Writers are waiting to see what happens in Palin’s interview with ABC anchor Charles Gibson, which aired Thursday and concludes tonight.

A spokesman for “Saturday Night Live” said no decision had been made, and it’s likely there will be no announcement before the show airs. Saturday’s host will be Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps.
