Blagojevich returns to SNL

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojejich, actually it was Blago impersonator Jason Sudeikis, returned to NBC's Saturday Night Live last night. Appearing on the Weekend Update segment with Seth Meyers, Blago/Sudeikis got in a few hair jokes, and even poked fun at his successor's lack of hair. Illinois' reputation, even though Blagojevich has been removed from office, remains unchanged, according to SNL writers:

"It's Illinois," Blago/Sudeikis said. "I know in most states it's shocking when your governor gets indicted. But in Illinois. It's like a coin coming up tails."

Sudeikis' Blagojevich could be back--after all, the real Blago has an indictment and a trial coming up, but if the character returns, the New York accent needs to go.
