My increasing appreciation of Tina Fey.


I've liked her ever since Weekend Update and Baby Mama. I loved her Sarah Palin stuff. I finally watched all of 30 Rock.

I seem to fall just a little more in love with Tina Fey every year. It kind of snuck up on me. I liked her right away, but she has very slowly grown on me more over the years. Now I just feel like watching Tina Fey whenever I need a pick-me-up.

How refreshing to see someone saying something nice about Tina on these boards for a change.

I agree with everything you said :-).

After I posted my message, I realized it would have been more fun to actually SAY something. 


What are some of your thoughts about Tina Fey? What are your favourite performances of hers?

She just seems like a very down to earth person, she has the exact sense of humor that I love, I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's just right for me personally. I suppose the only thing I would say that I don't love about her humor is the self deprecating side of it, it gets a little tiresome sometimes. The offensive side of her humor, I can deal with because I don't think it comes from a place of malice. One of the things I love the most about her is that anyone is fair game in her eyes, she doesn't shy away from satirizing people because they're black or gay or female, she treats everyone equally. She also doesn't really care if people like her humor or not and I think that's wonderful and very brave.

I suppose I would say that Liz Lemon in 30 Rock is my overall favorite performance of Tina's. I guess my least favorite performance of hers would be Portia in Admission although I hasten to add that I still enjoyed it. For me, Tina has a natural charisma that makes any performance she gives enjoyable to watch.

How about you? Any particular performance you enjoyed?

I listed some things in my OP. Her Sarah Palin stuff and 30 Rock are the standouts for me.

I also loved it when she and Amy Poehler talked about Bill Cosby at the Golden Globes. REALLY edgy.

I liked her book also. Bossy Pants.

Bossypants is a fantastic book, listening to her read the audio for it is also something special.

Yeah, I love that they didn't shy away from making a point about Cosby.

I liked the audio book also. I guess we are both pretty big fans if we have listened to the audiobook.
