      Nice catches. I remembered porn Liz after I posted. Totally forgot about staged reaction shot Liz and that Amy Pohler played her in the second live show.

      Also, I’m just now remembering butt-double Liz:

        Speaking of body doubles, there was also the time Liz jumped over the table in S4E22 “I Do Do”

    Wait, are we just going to skip over 31 Rock? This is the first I’m hearing of it. I need waaaay more details. Is that 1 minute clip all that was ever made? Or did they actually make a full on show?

    Because yes, I would totally believe they made at least one episode of this parody show. It’s easy to believe when you can’t believe this concept exists at all. So at that point, what barriers could POSSIBLY exist?

      I think the whole 1 minute “trailer” is the whole thing. The article I found on it mentions the same things as the other comment, so that’s probably right (promo for her book + jab at Fey).

      I didn’t even know it existed until I was sourcing images for this post, and the one of Palin as Liz was a thumbnail for a YT video, so of course I had to click on it and probably ruin the already terrible recommendations on the homepage 🤣

      The worst part about it is…I didn’t totally hate it.

      From reading a few articles, it seems the clip was simply a spoof, and no full episode was ever intended to be made. I gather that it exists for two reasons:

      1. As a lighthearted jab at Fey, who (for the first time in eight years) had reprised her famous SNL role parodying Palin a week prior
      2. More importantly, as marketing for Palin’s new book that we hear Dotcom complimenting here
