The NYC-based brains behind "Saturday Night Live" take it as a fait accompli that
Kathleen Parker is a goner from her CNN show; last night "SNL" created a skit around the
joke that former NY Governor David Paterson would be the right replacement for her. In other words, Eliot Spitzer would be joined by a fellow disgraced ex-NY governor. Although, of course, Paterson's embarrassments pale beside Spitzer's.
Still, The Cable Gamer has to believe that NBC types, mindful that CNN is a rival to NBC's sibling, MSNBC, enjoyed the idea of mocking CNN's problems.
That's
Bill Hader, playing Spitzer, above; on the show, he made jokes about himself-as-Spitzer, calling himself "The Bone Ranger," and so on. It would, indeed, be painful for CNN is "SNL" continues to draw a bead on "___ Spitzer."
