Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impersonations are winning rave reviews from her former SNL Weekend Update co-host Jimmy Fallon.

"Tina Fey is hitting home runs left and right. She is phenomenal," Fallon told Usmagazine.com at a bash for celeb chef Mario Batali's new book, Spain...A Culinary Road Trip, at the Bon Appetit Supper Club in NYC on Wednesday. "Amy Poehler's pregnant and running around - she's great."

Fallon will soon head back to work, as he takes over NBC's Late Night for Conan O'Brien next March.

"I'm more nervous and excited. I want to start tomorrow," he told Us. "I just want to go out there and start figuring things out.

"Some things are going to go wrong and some things are going to be great," he added. "I just want to keep the great things. I'm confident it's going to be a really entertaining show. It's going to be good. I'm getting the best people."

Fallon has more exciting news: He's about to celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary to film producer Nancy Juvonen, whom he wed in the Caribbean on December 22.

Asked about married life, he told Us: "Love it."

Juvonen co-owns Flower Films with Drew Barrymore. The three worked together on the 2005 comedy Fever Pitch.

Did Barrymore approve of Fallon for her friend?

"I think she gave me the thumbs up!" Fallon told Us.

    I regret wasting $3.49 on Baby Mama, that movie was the worst comedy I have ever seen, Tina Fey was not even funny, Amy was much funnier! Tina Fey looks like a damn mouse!
