SNL didn't break the news - TMZ did. And her last show wasn't last week, it was 3 days ago.

Hey, it could have been worse. She could have used the long form of the name, "Archibald."

Archie is one of those old time names. Definitely not a name I will pick for my child, but it's each to their own I suppose.

that's nothing, sarah palin traveled to texas, gave a speech while her water broke, then took an 8 hour flight to alaska, with a stopover in seattle, landed in anchorage, then drove 45 minutes to wasilla!

As we learned this fall no one ever leaves SNL. They even rolled out Bill Murray. Poehler will be back. But, the Palin rap was a great cap to her run as a regular. Archie, if picked on, will have the best comeback lines.

I hope that she does at least one more good-bye spot on Weekend Update before the season is over.

Oh come on. You know how many women work as long as they can, many right up til their delivery date? You men are such wimps. If youse got pregnant, it'd be 9 months of 100% paid sick leave, plus a month bed rest after, and another year off with full pay. But, someone above is right...Archie is bound to be one funny kid! And, a cutie, to judge by his parents. I hope Amy comes back to SNL from time to time, like Tina Fey. She's great.

Now that's going against the grain. Forget all the ridiculous made-up names like Shaniqua or Tarrazz (or P. Diddy). Go with something easy to remember and spell but still unique like "Archie"! Not even in the top 1000 anymore. Probably not even in the top 5000. Although the poor kid might get a few "jughead" jokes at school.
