Live From New York...It's John McCain

ABC News' Bret Hovell reports: Along with his fellow presidential candidates, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain is used to being the butt of many a late night comedian's jokes, and as the old maxim goes, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
And this Saturday he will: Sen. McCain, R-Ariz., is scheduled to make a cameo appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend in New York.
So far, the campaign is tight-lipped on the nature of his appearance, but in the race to November both his Democratic rivals have made appearances in recent weeks on the long-running sketch comedy staple on NBC.
McCain hosted the program back in 2002, memorably playing then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in one sketch, and singing a retinue of Barbara Streisand songs in another.
"I've been in politics for over twenty years, and for over twenty years I've had Barbara Streisand trying to do my job," McCain joked during the skit. "So I decided to try my hand at her job."
McCain is a regular on the late-night circuit. Last week marked his eleventh in-studio interview with Jon Stewart on 'The Daily Show'. He announced his candidacy for the White House on 'The Late Show' with David Letterman in 2007, and last month appeared on that program as his host ribbed him about his age.

I didn't think the guy could stay up that late. I heard he went to bed after the early bird dinner.

Wow, watching McCain appear on "Saturday Night Live" is totally going to make me overlook his dried-up, useless ideas and vote for him! I'd rather have a president with a sense of humor than one who can dig our country out of the hole it's in. Totally!

Wow, some really mean comments here. Can't you Obama fanatics lighten up for ONE article?
I thought McCain doing Streisand was quite funny. I like how he can laugh at himself. I've only seen Obama get laughs at someone elses expense (ie flipping off Clinton)

It'll be really funny when he tells everyone to "GET OFF MY LAWN".... from the Truman Balcony next January.

Could Senator McCain explain why he has missed more votes (59.2%) in the 110th Congress than anyone else except 2 House members who died and missed even more votes than a Senator who suffered from a brain hemorrage? Is he still collecting his Senatorial paycheck? Don't most people wish they could work only 60% of the time and still get paid. He has voted on one vote since March 13th? Everyone else still running has managed to do their House and Senate duties.

After the way Obama has run his campaign, Chicago style,I will vote McCain.
