In television, success breeds success, which can then breed excess. So far, "Saturday Night Live" is still at the success-success level, a happy fact of life celebrated last night with the first of three prime-time specials keyed to the forthcoming presidential election. Explosively funny and running riot from start to finish, "Weekend Update Thursday" -- "live from New York" last night -- may have disappointed viewers hoping to see Tina Fey's already legendary Sarah Palin impression; Fey appeared, but only in promos for her sitcom "30 Rock," which is derived from backstage life at "SNL" and returns for a new season on Oct. 30.

AS is traditional, before Jamie Oliver joined Jonathan Ross for a chat on the TV couch two weeks ago, we saw a clip of his new campaigning TV series, Jamie's Ministry of Food. It showed a young Yorkshire woman teaching her friends to cook the celebrity chef's meatball recipe. The girls revealed to Jamie they didn't know what "simmer" meant; that they'd no idea that water bubbled when it boiled and the Jonathan Ross audience roared with laughter as if they were watching pure comedy.

With little more than three weeks before election day, John McCain made the surprising decision to campaign Saturday in Iowa -- a state he largely spurned in the 2000 and 2008 presidential caucuses and where he is trailing his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, by more than 10 percentage points.
