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.''
