John McCain, live from New York

My friends, it's John McCain, live from New York, just three days before the election.
Aides to the Republican presidential candidate said Friday that McCain will make a detour from battleground states to appear on "Saturday Night Live," the late-night show that has been a must-watch for many during the political season.
Hosting the show tonight is actor Ben Affleck, a supporter of Democratic candidate Barack Obama. The musical guest is singer David Cook.
When McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, appeared on the show Oct. 18, "Saturday Night Live" earned its best ratings in 14 years.
Former star and head writer Tina Fey, a Palin lookalike, has been at the center of the show's recent parodies of the campaign.
McCain last appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in May, after clinching the nomination and while the Democratic primary continued. The 72-year-old Arizona senator joked about his age, saying: "I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president? Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old."
