Comedic actress and writer Tina Fey says she will reprise her infamous impression of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin when she returns to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" as this weekend's host.

"I'm sure we'll be trying to write something about her" for this week's show, Fey said with respect to Palin, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Fey's Palin impression was a hit online, and in October, 2008, Palin joined Fey in a SNL sketch.

Some have questioned the influence Fey's impression has had on Palin's career, Fey told David Letterman, but "I can't even get people to watch '30 Rock,'" she said, referencing her television show.
