George Frederick Will born May 4, 1941 is an American libertarian-conservative political commentator together with author. He writescolumns for The Washington Post in addition to provides commentary for NBC News and MSNBC. In 1986, The Wall Street Journal called him "perhaps a most powerful journalist in America," in a league with Walter Lippmann 1889–1974. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1977.
Will was occasionally lampooned in the comic Doonesbury, particularly in a December 1980 sequence of strips in which several characters attend a party hosted by Will for the Reagans.
Will was lampooned in a skit on an April 1990 episode of the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. Dana Carvey played Will as the host of the fictional baseball trivia game show George F. Will's Sports Machine, in which the answers are all highflown literary metaphors that leave the contestants befuddled; the exasperated contestants finally get Will to try to earn a baseball, which he is unable to do.
In the Seinfeld season 6 episode "The Jimmy", Kramer mentions that he finds George Will attractive.
