Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update -- the original "fake news" -- came back from the writer's strike with a roar Saturday night. Former head writers Tina Fey hosted, leading with B*itch is the New Black!

Just a bit:

...back in grammar school, they could have had priests teaching you but no, they had tough old nuns who sleep on cots and can hit ya and you HATE those b*tches. But by the end of the school year you sure knew the capital of Vermont!

The title comes from a riff on Hillary. Call it equal time: The re-creation, SNL-style, of the Democratic Debate, Clinton vs. Obama features full-grown important news anchors fawning over Obama as though he were the Tom Brady who didn't lose the Super Bowl.


Topping it, special guest Mike Huckabee. Brand-new 2008 candidate Ralph Nader is slated to show up there next week.

TV worth watching: The writers are back, and they have months of words to get out there.
