After a showstopping debut that broke Amy Poehler during a sentimental farewell and pissed a lot of people off by using the governor's blindness a punchline, Armisen's send-up might have finally begun running out of steam. Last night's appearance saw him as one half of a comedy duo, alongside his predecessor Eliot Spitzer (played extra creepily by Bill Hader). The New Jersey punchlines were back in full effect, along with the idea that Governor Paterson's best chance at getting reelected is that New York voters will enter the booth next November with a "Sanjaya mentality."
Paterson recently admitted that he found SNL's portrayal of him not only offensive, but humiliating—bringing back demons that he thought got rid of as a teenager. No doubt the governor will be looking forward to summer hiatus for the show, while Armisen will be keeping an eye on the polls and deciding whether or not he should start working on his Andrew Cuomo.




Well, given that Paterson was making fun of the wheelchair bound guy in the union commercial...
They should take "Paterson's" Jersey schtick on the road!
Where to? Paterson, New Jersey?
