Last night on “Saturday Night Live’, Current Governor of New York David Paterson made a guest appearance. He appeared along with Fred Armisen who has played Paterson on SNL in the past.

On the show, Paterson made a few jokes that got an applause from the audience. After entering the set and sitting beside the “Fake” David Paterson, he said, “Ladies and gentleman, I wanted to come here tonight before my time as governor of the great state of New York ends to tell you that working in Albany is just like watching ‘Saturday Night Live. There are a lot of characters. It’s funny for 10 minutes, and then you just want it to be over.”

Paterson who is legally blind, told the audience that it’s not nice to degrade people for the fact that they have disabilities.

After all the mockery he has had to deal with from SNL over the past few years, Paterson deserves some praise for having the guts to appear on the show. He realizes that Saturday Night Live is just for entertainment purposes, and he went with it.

Before leaving the set, Paterson, when talking about how being blind increases his other senses said, “Just by my sense of smell, I can tell that there are 15 people in this audience from New Jersey.”

Paterson, who is the 55th Governor of New York is the first with African American heritage for the state. He is only the second state governor to be declared legally blind. He will be leaving office after a new governor is determined in the November 2nd elections this year.
