I’m a comedian. My live gigs are on my website.
I host “Get in Bed” on Cosmo Radio, Sirius 111/XM 162, every weeknight from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. We talk about doing it.
I spent 11 months as a reporter for the 2008 MTV Choose or Lose Street Team, part of the 2008 Emmy Award-winning ThinkMTV campaign. I covered politics and stuff in New York.
I was nominated for a 2009 Webby Award for Best Individual Performance for a bunch of Sarah Palin impersonations I did. In an Italian-on-Italian hate crime, Isabella Rosellini won. The Palin vlogs were also named an Official Webby Award Honoree for Comedy Long-Form or Series. I won the ECNY Award for Best Comedic Short Film, and was also nominated in the Best Host and Emerging Comic of the Year categories.

Do you remember a funny kid at Warren Wilson, by the name of Adam Fajardo? No? In that case, you’ll be thrilled to learn that I am his dad. Anyhout, Adam sent me a link to your Gov. Paylin vlogs. Verry funny. I thought you might enjoy this piece I wrote. Feel free to make good use of it in your skits. Enjoy, Lincoln

Top 12 reasons: Why is Sarah Palin so pretty?
John McCain selected Sarah Palin to help him get elected. But if he wins, how will he best use her talents? Some Washington insiders are cynical that once the elections are over he will just pack her off to You-Know-Where, AK. But they are wrong. Here are top twelve ways the McCain Administration will use her:
12. To hold pigeon shoots on the Front Lawn. The pigeons will be dyed red, white and blue – to make it patriotic-like. The blood will symbolize the sacrifices all Americans must make, unless they are connected to Big Oil or Defense Contractors. (Some NRA members will be appalled at this waste of ammo, but the White House just could not round up enough polar bears to make it worth the media coverage.)
11. After a 9 mile hike, to have campfire sing-alongs with pregnant teenagers who say “No, way Jose!” to abortion.
10. To pose for a new classical sculpture for the Pentagon, Miss Defense Spending. She’ll be draped in a skimpy roman toga, blindfolded, signing off on Haliburton invoices.
9. To do an MTV number with Paris Hilton. “Born Again Right” – Lyrics “I was born an American spender! I know Gucci and L.L. Bean-der. National deficits don’t scare me, cause I know some hot home lenders.”
8. At Joint sessions of Congress to gavel Pelosi on the head for her flat choice of coiffure.
7. To pose for ‘Miss Camo 2012′ poster to bolster troop morale in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.
6. To negotiate with Putin a tough new deal for caviar.
5. To perk up boring strategy sessions with the Joint Chief of Staffs with a little target practice, just to weed out the generals from the men.
4. To give the VP Offices in the Old Executive Office Building or where ever they are – a woman’s touch. Martha Stewart, bless her conviction-filled Republican soul, has offered to help.
3. To sweep up the 18 million glass shards strewn outside the Oval Office.
2. To report on the President’s health in a tight nurses uniform to reassure public concern.
1. To look really sharp at state funerals.
Ahahaha! Amazing! Of course I remember Adam, he rules! Lincoln, this is hilarious…thank you so much for posting! And say hi to Adam for me!
I’m rolling on the floor with your Sarah Palin videos. They are amazing. Keep it going! You’ve captured her perfectly. Need to get it on Jon Stewart.

So I just saw your Sarah Palin videos from the New York Mag Website and I noticed you look oddly familiar.
I was wondering, were you ever a English student teacher at Bronx High School of Science around 2005-06?
Thanks so much, JJ!
And HOLY crap! Janet Huang, you were totally my student! WHOOOOOAAAAAA! How the hell are ya? Did you just start your senior year?
you are hilarious. love the sara p vlog. charlie crist wrote a book is priceless. not in an amex way.
keep making videos – i’m sending them to all of my friends. well, both of them, but they have friends.
Rock it out, Ingrid! Thanks so much!
oh my god. you are a dead swinger for palin. wait…dead swinger is a dick cheney colloquialism. You are a DEAD RINGER. That’s what I meant to say.
sara…i sent you an email 7 years ago after reading something you wrote for themestream.com. I said you were the most talented writer EVER!! I said you were going to be famous. And rich.
I WAS RIGHT. I should have bought call options on Sara B. I would be Bill Gates wealthy now.
I NEVER tell a writer that she’s going to be famous or successful. I usually end telling her to keep her eyes open for comfortable alcoves, dumpsters, or alleys for when she is homeless.
But I told you because you are one of the funnierst writers I’ve ever read. Damn I’m good.
Good luck in your career.
Holy schnikes Jim Huck! Amazing! Thank you so much for watching and writing! Well, I’m sorry to say, I am neither famous nor rich nor the most talented writer ever, BUT I do make silly web videos that amuse certain corners of the Inter-nets and I do other weird things and I’m glad to do all that stuff.
Thanks so much! Good luck, sir.
OMG, you are too funny!
Hi Sara!
I just discovered your vBlogs today on Margaret Cho’s Myspace blog… and they are amazing!! I had to stop folding clothes because I was laughing too hard.
I was thinking… you really should post these vBlogs in a podcast in iTunes. That way you would be able to show your stuff to more people. I would definitely download every episode you make.
Keep on with the amazing blogs babe!
Brad, Missouri
Yep I pretty much have fallen in love with your vids. I first saw the #1 vlog randomly on youtube. Then saw it again when Margaret Cho posted it on her myspace blog. Then tonight, I couldn’t sleep, so I once again found my way to your vids. I’ve been crying laughing since and forwarding my favorites to friends of mine…
Good times. Don’t ever stop. Even when she and McCain lose in November and she’s back in Alaska.
“go breastfeed your brother!”
and “i think together we can rack the vote”
are my two favorite lines so far…

Thanks so much for watching and for writing, you awesome muffin people!
I love the Palin vlogs, keep them coming!
Sara,
“…On that midnight bridge to no where….” lololol… It’s all so funny I truly think these Vlogs are effing genius. You have the subtext, the psychological profile of this woman down pat. When it comes to comedy like this you gotta be really smart to be really funny and that comes though so clearly. You and Diana rock so fucking hard.I want to be friends with you guys but I know that sounds stalkerish but I’m harmless I swear. Anyone cool would wanna be friends with Sara and Diana!! You can’t blame me!!!
John
Jersey City, NJ – Bridge and tunnel bitches!!
i love you.
i can’t really stop linking to you and i am afraid people are starting to wonder.
even my friend cindy got hooked.
we love you.
your palin vlogs are over-the-top hilarious, clever, sophisticated, and right on. too much! rock on!
jane wingate
Keep up the great work with the Palin videos. So freaking funny. I am waiting for “The Maddow” to call you and have you on. You know, if McCain decides not to show for the debate tonight, maybe you could fill in. You could probably do a much better job for the VP debate next week if they continue to keep her locked up and secured.
Love ya and really think that you have some magic going on with these videos. I couldn’t figure out how to post you a comment on youtube so you are stuck with it here.
Good luck.
Awesome stuff Sara – much needed laughs…I especially loved the bits about wolf hunting.
If you’re open to viewer requests, maybe you can work in the rape kit storyline into one of your next videos? If anyone can make that funny, you can!

Are you secretly hoping the GOP (Geriatric/Ovarian Party) wins in November? Endless comedy opportunities!! Of course, they’ll lose but I do hope MooseKnuckle Palin stays in the pubic <—-type-o and it stays.. eye.
At least long enough for us to learn what in God’s green earth Harvey’s Bristol Cream names that baby. Baby Daddy is Levi, right? So, I’m going with either “Boot Cut” or “Button Fly.”
You give Tina Fey a run for her money, girl. Keep it comin’!

Sarah:
We Love You! My Friend Graham, especially so! We are terribly addicted to your Sarah Palin Videos, and are constantly making references to your craving or a good juicy mooseburger. Everywhere we are, we know think of that damn mooseburger. Could you do so more references to that, or kodiak eyes, or tears in the eyes of the moose as you shoot it the American Way? ROFLMAO.
LOVE YOU!
Kevin and Graham
Riddle me this…why come Sarah Palin does that back-tease, hedgehog-hiding-in-a-burrow thing with her hair? It just…it just BOTHERS me. Unless, of course, that’s where they put the hidden microphone and wires and shit! Or it’s where she keeps that other Palin baby “of which we do not speak:” Shovel Palin.
She really needs a makeover. Vlog it, baby.
“Warm Regards,” <—-KIDDING.

Sara,
Why are comments disabled for the videos on both your YouTube channel and 236?! Is there some pre-debate conspiracy involved?
I wanted to comment about how much my family (the sane members), friends, and I love the work you and Diana do! And we’re really old farts! Nicole Fagin, your MTV Street Team counterpart in Arizona, turned us on to you. I think you may very well be the deciding factor in this election if it turns out the way it should. You are brilliant AND funny and even more important, relevant. I wish you the success you deserve!
Thanks so much!
Mary Jane
Tucson for now
Santa Fe or some other city/country different if the Republicans wine
I meant, “If the Republicans ‘win’” in my last comment, not “wine.” I’ve had too much of the latter after an evening of watching political news.
Thank you so much, Mary Jane! Nicole is a rock star, to be sure. Stay strong in Tucson, lady! It’s a beautiful city. Oh, and I think comments are disabled at the moment because YouTube is “undergoing routine maintenance.” But hopefully they shall return soon!
Hi Sara,
Love the work you’ve done!!! A huge fan. Take a look at my site, I think it’s right up your alley. Would love to talk to you about partnering up.
Hi Sara B.!
You know, I’m from Russia and I love your vlogs! Watched all of them. Hilarious! I like the way Americans make fun of their politicians. Thank you!
Sarah–
The Palin V-logs are just terrific. In my office we now only refer to Joe Biden as “That Mr. Joe Biden”–oh my gosh terrific! “Hold on there, I’m princess of Alaska!” is also quite popular as a retort now. Keep em’ coming!
Thank you so much, Natalia and Jim!
Thanks so much!!
DOOOOOY, of course!
