NBC Universal Zaps YouTube Uploads of SNL Skit On Sarah Palin

By Sarah Lai Stirland

Google searches for the terms "SNL Palin," "Saturday Night Live," and "Tina Fey as Palin" rocketed off the roof over the week-end, as people around the United States e-mailed each other and blogged about Fey's uncannily-close impersonation of the Republican vice-presidential nominee.

Fey, Saturday Night Live's former head writer and creator of the show 30 Rock, appeared with SNL's Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton to "battle sexism" in the show's opening skit.

Soon after the episode aired, e-mails with links to the inevitable YouTube uploads flew around listservs. But the take-down notices went out just as quickly, notifying YouTube that the clips had infringed upon NBC Universal's copyright. One of the uploads had already been removed as of Sunday, but several more managed to stay up on YouTube as of Monday. And other web sites such as LiveLeak also hosted clips.

NBC Universal has since posted the skit up on its own web site. (Above) is an embed of the clip.
