Last night, Fred Armisen reappeared on Saturday Night Live's Thursday Weekend Update as a now-mustachioed Governor Paterson. If you don't remember, his schtick was complete with references to President Obama (allegedly) asking him to step aside in 2010—"It’s like the pope calling a local priest and telling him to go to Hell"—his blindness, and his hatred of New Jersey!
For instance, "Paterson" said of his one-time, pre-Spitzer resignation desire to be a Senator, "I had great dreams of living in Washington, D.C., walking zig-zag up the Capitol steps. You know, shaking hands with an even mix of humans and statues … trying to stick my ATM card in the Vietnam memorial, then showing up late for votes and flicking off the senators from ... New Jerzzzey." The Paterson bit starts about 13 minutes (or something like that) into this video:
"Paterson" also said, "I dare Andrew Cuomo to show his pretty face in Utica: The locals will just hide in their caves and throw boulders at him." When SNL spoofed PAterson earlier this year, he wasn't so happy.

Almost pissed myself when I saw the first spoof of Paterson where he kept walking in front of the camera bumbling around.
Hah!
That patterson impression was perhaps the funniest thing to come out of snl in a long time.
SATURDAY Night Live has a THURSDAY WEEKEND Update now? WTF? Is NBC really hurting that much for ratings that they're doing a version of the only consistently funny skit on THURSDAYS now?
As hilarious as it is (and it is), i can't imagine this plays well in the rest of the country. It's such a local reference.

I agree 100 zillion percent.
They did the same thing lampooning blagojevich on snl. I don't think anyone outside of Illinois really got it - that and it wasn't very funny.
seriously, people...
hating on SNL is so 2003
maybe you guys should turn on a tv every now and then.
who's hating on it? Everyone said it was funny...because it IS.
well, you're apparently not watching it if you didn't realize that they're doing this on thursdays now...
and NBC has some good shows on thursdays again
parks and recreation, the office, 30 rock, community
don't think they're hurting that bad for ratings.
just saying
whoa. post pregnancy bloat amy poehler is pretty smokin. Then megan fox shows up.
