Tina Fey’s interpretation of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin helped this past weekend’s season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” reach new ratings highs, but future appearances by Fey on the show are yet to be set, the Hollywood Reporter says. Marc Liepis, a spokesperson for the show, said “we are taking it day-by day,” the trade says. Executive producer Lorne Michaels is reported to have backup plans should Fey not be available to reprise the role, the trade says.
