Does anyone have any idea who wrote the 'Palin Rap?'


I thought it was hilarious but can't seem to find out who actually wrote it. Amy?
Anyone have any idea?
I'm really going to miss her on SNL.

Amy, Seth and the Weekend Update head writer (WU has a different head writer than the main show) I think.

on Fred Arm.'s Blog, he wrote that Amy wrote it and Andy Samberg put some great lines in too.

The way I heard it is that Paul McCartney was in town. He is friends with Lorne Michaels and was visiting, possibly scheduling an appearance or hosting in the very near future. Anyways, McCartney came up with the idea and Michaels loved it so much that he had Amy Poehler come in and the 2 of them finished it within 2 hours.

Um. Isn't Seth the head writer?

Yeah it was Seth Meyers that wrote it.

I heard Seth Meyers wrote it to. If so, he's a genius. I don't care if people say he sucks.

I'm pretty sure it was a combination of everyone that has been mentioned, with SOME credit to Palin since she was sitting there and probably would have made a big deal if the rap was somewhat negative or controversial.

Of course she did hear all the comments about her throughout the show and year.
