Sarah Palin Drops by Tonight Show to Talk Some Sense into Putin

Sarah Palin made a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Wednesday night to talk to a very intimidated Vladimir Putin (of course, played by Jimmy Fallon) in a follow-up to a Putin sketch last month. Palin bantered with the Russian leader about Ukraine, March Madness, and President Obama, all while Putin called her “Captain Buzzkill” for trying to ruin his invasion plans.

Palin had one of the best lines of the sketch when she had fun with her own children’s names, and she compared bear showdown styles with the in-your-face Putin. They even did a musical duet, with Palin bringing out a flute and accompanying Putin singing “Happy.”

Putin floated the idea of invading Alaska, since it’s so close to Russia and all, but Palin warned him, “You may be able to take down a bear, but you’re no match for a mama grizzly.”
