Anyone know why video of last night's SNL skit is no longer available?

8. Sigh. I don't know if it's because

too many people are trying to watch it, or what, but I get about a second and a half of video, then five seconds of pause.

6. Because there's a Chevy commercial that NBC really wants you to watch. nt

7. "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by NBC Universal"

It is surprising how quickly they yanked it. There are millions of other clips there with copyright infringement.

9. NBC puts ads at the head of their video files; YouTube does not

When I tried to watch that video (didn't make it all the way through, sorry; Tina Fey was too excellent as Palin for comfort), the first thing I got hit with was a commercial for an Olay product.

Gotta have that ad revenue; it's what keeps the lights burning at 30 Rock.
