She's smart, she's funny, and she's talented. You know why Bossypants bugged me? Tina Fey has nothing for which to apologize. And I definitely wasn't expecting all of the above to be sugarcoated by a combination of weak, insecure meta-analysis and self-conscious “oh, I'm really not that great” coverups. I wasn't looking forward to insecure ramblings about the long hours she put into Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. I wasn't hoping for forced, obvious stories about the professional discrimination in Fey's history. I wasn't counting on a sour, muddled, defensive screed against anyone who pissed off the author in the last thirty years. What did I expect? Well, it's probably easier to explain what I didn't expect. I don't know that expecting much from a comedy writer's cash-in big-font-with-pictures essay/ fair, but I've been a Tina Fey fan since 30 Rock began, ready to trust her literary aspirations, and even to me this book barely scratches onto the two star plateau. Tina Fey's Bossypants was a disappointment. In 2009, Fey won an Emmy Award for her satirical portrayal of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a guest appearance on SNL. In 2008, she starred in the comedy film Baby Mama, alongside Amy Poehler. In 2004, Fey made her film debut as writer and co-star of the teen comedy Mean Girls. In the series, Fey portrays the head writer of a fictional sketch comedy series. After leaving SNL in 2006, she created the television series called 30 Rock, a situation comedy loosely based on her experiences at SNL.
During her time there, she was co-anchor of the show's Weekend Update segment. The following year, Fey was added to the cast of SNL.
She was promoted to the position of head writer in 1999. Three years later, Fey became a writer for the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL). She was singled out as the performer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008 by the Associated Press, who gave her their AP Entertainer of the Year award.Īfter graduating from the University of Virginia in 1992, Fey moved to Chicago to take classes at the improvisational comedy group The Second City, where she became a featured player in 1994. She has received seven Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, four Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four Writers Guild of America Awards.
Elizabeth Stamatina "Tina" Fey is an American actress, comedian, writer and producer.
