Tina Fey Reviews, Interviews & More
The recently missing in action "TGS" writing staff is back this week on "30 Rock," and they provide the laughs you've come to expect. A little role reversal occurs as well when Liz feels accepted for once and Jack finally questions his importance at GE. Also, the episode ends with Pete wearing a Mexican poncho and playing Jethro Tull's Aqualung on acoustic guitar. The...
"30 Rock" is successful because it mixes clever writing with a larger than life portrayal of our own society. A lot of the time, it's funny because it is is frighteningly familiar to us. Last night's was an episode that showcased this particular quality, with a political candidate who is only slightly nuttier than some of the ones we've seen lately and a subplot involving Tracy...
Tina Fey received her Mark Twain award last night for her for her amazing comedic work and her speech was not without a few punches to herself as well as the right-wing party. As many know she has had much success in the past couple of years with one of her favorite impersonations of all time, Sarah Palin...
Back in May it was announced that writer and actress Tina Fey was chosen to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. She's only the third woman to win the honor in the past 13 years, after Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg. Isn't that sad? The event will take place on the evening of November 9th at the Kennedy Center's Concert Hall and all of her friends and colleagues will be in...
The beautiful Elizabeth Banks is back this week, and even if her role is minimal, there were plenty of reasons to watch last night's episode of "30 Rock." This has always been a show that relies just as much on its good writing as it does its stars - both of which did a phenomenal job this week at bringing the two together and keeping the laughs coming. Check out the review...
This week in theaters we have a new kind of superhero move hitting the big screen, Megamind -- your friendly neighborhood villain! The film boosts some of the funniest voices in the business, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, David Cross, Jonah Hill and of course the only "real" superhero is voiced by Brad Pitt. The movie uses 3D in the way it was meant to be used and has...
This week Megamind hits theaters with a new twist on the old superhero tale! The film is led by some of funniest and most well known voices in the business; Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, David Cross and Brad Pitt. As you could have guessed Brad Pitt wasn't able to attend the press conference because... well he's Brad Pitt and him going outside let alone sitting in front of...
As anyone who has followed this show can tell you, Liz Lemon is not the most sexual character in TV history. Her problems with intimacy are explored in this episode, as Jack decides he will get to the bottom of what has been troubling her. Read the review for more details...
"30 Rock" is the brainchild of Tina Fey, who made her name as a writer and performer on "Saturday Night Live." She returns to her roots with this week's episode, which was aired completely live (hence the title "Live Show"). Although, in theory, this sounds like a gimmick to pique viewers' curiosity, fans were treated to an impressive, funny half hour that...
"30 Rock" is at its best when it is less focused on Liz or Jack's relationship struggles and more focused on making audiences laugh. Last night was a great example of this, with funny guest stars and a consistently clever script.
Read the review and find out why the show needs to keep heading in this direction...
I think 30 Rock is destined for a cable existence on par with Seinfeld, which is to say...forever. It's amusing, it has an effortlessly like-able lead, a perfectly complimentary cast, and it's sort of pointless. It doesn't ask you to be smart to watch, only to have a sense of humor.
At the end of last season, Jack Donaghy was faced with a choice that made most male audience members hate him with every fiber of their being: To pursue Julianne Moore, or to pursue Elizabeth Banks? He opted for Banks, and is now madly in love with her character, Avery. In the meantime, Liz Lemon met her dream man, pilot Carol, played by Matt Damon. Will it work out?

A new trailer has been released for the DreamWorks animated film Megamind, that features the voice talents of Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, and Jonah Hill. The film will hit theaters later this fall on November 5th and this is the third trailer the studio has released to promote it. Check it out below...
There's a whole lot of funny on DVD this week as two spring comedy hits roll onto shelves in the form of Date Night and Death at a Funeral. Plus there's a spring comedy you never heard of called The Joneses (with David Duchovny!)
All that plus a big hit show that I'm not sure anybody has ever heard of, plus the...
Will Ferrell really likes to get into character and his latest film Megamind will have him taking a walk on the dark side. The actor appeared alongside co-stars Tina Fey and Jonah Hill at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con dressed from head to toe as his animated character. He appeared in blue makeup and sported some strange head-gear all in the name of promotion. Check...
This movie is too good to be true. Everytime Meryl Streep teams up with Stanley Tucci magic happens. Whatever those two have, they should bottle it and sell it at a ridiculously high price -- I'd buy it! According to THR, the Oscar winning actress and the Oscar nominated actor will reunite for the mother-daughter comedy, Mommy & Me co-starring Tina Fey.
Award winning actress and writer Tina Fey has been chosen as the recipient of this year's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. It's one of the nation's most prestigious honors that can be bestowed upon someone within the comedy genre. Between "30 Rock" and Date Night it looks like Fey got the stuffy suits on the voting board to take notice.
DreamWorks Animation has released a new trailer for their superhero/villain movie Megamind on Yahoo. The film stars Will Ferrell as the title character and Brad Pitt as his arch-nemesis Metroman. Unfortunately for the studio, the A-list cast and their silky voices do nothing to aid this unoriginal and unfunny story. Check out the trailer...
Last weekend Tina Fey returned to her old stomping grounds at "Saturday Night Live" and was attacked by a swarm of young fans when she arrived on set. Oh no, they weren't there for her, they were trying to catch of glimpse of Justin Bieber and his wispy bowl cut. The combination of these two was obviously a force to be reckoned with because it scored "SNL" one...
This weekend TV staples Tina Fey and Steve Carell hit the big screen in the outlandish comedy Date Night. In the film, "30 Rock's" Liz Lemon and "The Office's" Michael Scott play a married couple who get caught up in a bad case of mistaken identity. Both actors are funny, both have a background in improv, and both star in TV shows...
