She became a featured player there in 1994. She then moved to Chicago to take classes at the improvisational comedy group The Second City. įey graduated from the University of Virginia in 1992. They gave her their AP Entertainer of the Year award. She was called the performer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008 by the Associated Press.
She has received seven Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, four Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four Writers Guild of America Awards. “Common law comedy wives.” “Work husbands.” They relayed this so often you know there’s a truth there and a bond that transcends it.Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvannia, U.S.Įlizabeth Stamatina " Tina" Fey (pronounced /ˈfeɪ/ born May 18, 1970) is an American actress, comedienne, writer, and producer. Fey, wearing a T-shirt reading “Mother,” said being a mother was like being the guy controlling Kermit the Frog: “If you’re doing your job right, nobody should notice and you’re just a filthy hippy sitting on a dirt floor.” They referred to each other as basically colleagues. Poehler did a terrible impression of Richard Dreyfuss in “Jaws” and gave a shoutout to Gen-X (“We remember people!”). The beauty was in the casualness, the intimacy they somehow achieved through the touches they can’t control: Poehler’s openhearted cackle Fey’s dyspeptic side-eye. To the song “For Good” from “Wicked,” Fey sang to Poehler: “I do believe you make me slightly better.” And Poehler sang to Fey: “We are work friends and we see each other at work.” They would have done the actual song, Fey said, but they would have had to pay for rights, negating the point of the tour.
Their “Restless Leg Tour,” which is making a tentative tiptoe into a handful of cities this spring, presumably as a test run for grander plans, is a victory lap and reminder of how comfortably Fey and Poehler ping off each other. Sounds like a backhanded compliment, but I promise: It’s all compliment.
