Tina Fey's hilarious turn as Sarah Palin put Saturday Night Live on the electoral map like nothing else in recent memory viewership is up nearly 70 percent this season. But will Fey continue to moonlight as the gorgeous governor, who could be a parody-worthy public figure for years to come? ''I have to retire just because I have to do my day job,'' reveals the creator and star of NBC's 30 Rock (which experienced a 20 percent ratings uptick for its Oct. 30 season premiere). ''I think [Kristen] Wiig would do a really good job.'' As for whether there'll be an official Palin torch passing, she says, ''Maybe we could get a real torch. Or I could give Wiig the Palin wig.''
