Despite a supposed confirmation by New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a spokesman for Saturday Night Live denies reports of an upcoming appearance by Sarah Palin on the show. Adams has reported:

According to Adams, Palin has OK’d the deal and is booked to be on the show: “She — eyeglasses, haircomb, designer jacket and trunkful of gosh-darns, golly-gees and gol-dangs — will be on ‘SNL’ Saturday night, Oct. 25. Sarah’s rehearsal time has already been penciled in for Friday the 24th. And it’s because she wants to do it.”

An email to Marc Liepis of NBC, however, resulted in a flat denial.

“Her item is wrong.”

So who knows.
