Now that the election and Sarah Palin’s 15 minutues of fame go into overdrive, Tina Fey has announced that she’s officially retiring from impersonating the Alaska governor on Saturday Night Live.

“I have to retire just because I have to do my day job,” the Emmy-winning star of NBC’s 30 Rock tells Entertainment Weekly.

Tina is endorsing SNL’s Kristen Wiig as her replacement: “I think Wiig would do a really good job.”
