Awkward: Sarah Palin Offers Bristol to Babysit for Fey

Tina Fey has been making her 30 Rock promo rounds (the season premiere airs tomorrow) and appeared on Conan last night, where the first segment was all about that other show: SNL. (She says her recent stints at her old gig have been akin to "moving back in with your parents.")

Unsurprisingly, it turns out some of the best parts of Sarah Palin's appearance on the show happened off-camera; Fey talks about meeting her, and what had to have been the awkward offering-up of Bristol Palin to babysit her 3-year-old that night. Fey comments, "That's exactly what 17-year-old Bristol Palin wants to do at SNL, is babysit the toddler of the lady that goofs on her mom." Check out the second segment after the jump, for 30 Rock chatter and what it's like to hug Oprah (spoiler: it's like "going to a spa for a week").

That'll teach her for getting pregnant again.

Eww. She already offered up Bristol to lapsit the hockey team.

Maybe that's how she's being punished for getting knocked up! Domestic chores forever!

I wouldn't want Bristol babysitting my kids! Bad influence! Plus, she probably got pregnant while babysitting (we know the drill! parents out, kids asleep, call the BF!)

If Bristol babysits at Tina Fey's house, Levi will beg off so he can be with his new squeeze instead of his fat old girlfriend.

More proof, like we needed it, that being Sarah Palin's kid is no picnic.

Palin is awesome. I hope she is president some day.

She mentioned Obama's middle name... I thought that was taboo?

Blacks can use the N-word, maybe libs can use the H-word?

Hey, Bristol has proven herself to be very responsible. Unlike the typical decadent lib who reads this blog while smoking a joint with one hand and masturbating with the other. And cashing their handout from the government. And stomping on a fetus.
