Howard Kurtz on the SNL effect

Washington Post Media Critic Howard Kurtz has a good piece up on the Web site today exploring Saturday Night Live's effect on presidential campaigns. Click on his name.

I'm a big fan of the show. It's interesting to read some of the behind the scenes stuff about the recent SNL sketches on the Barack/Hillary race, which have been making news. Kurtz also gets into some of history of SNL and presidential races including Darrell Hammond's portrayal of Al Gore in the 2000 presidential campaign. Kurtz, as always, touches on a variety of other subjects in the media this week. Enjoy.
