February 23rd will be the first post strike Saturday Night Live and the host will be none other than Tina Fey. It's hard to believe that this is the same woman that had people turning the channel when she originally became one of the anchors on Weekend Update. The reason people were switching channels was her scar. You can't see it on 30 Rock, but it does freak me out a little because it is so big, and long, and you just can't stop staring at it.
She has always been funny as hell, you just had to close your eyes when she came on to enjoy it. Now though with 30 Rock and Mean Girls, people have got to see her with some great makeup covering that scar, and honestly 30 Rock is one of my favorite shows. I just didn't really see her as the neurotic bitch, but she pulls it off well and it plays so well against Alec Baldwin. If you have not seen 30 Rock you need to spend a weekend watching it and catching up.
It is only fitting that the first woman head writer on SNL should also be the first host as they return from a writer's strike and now if they could just get a kick ass musical guest. And I don't want Paul Simon or some other historically relevant figure from the annals of Saturday Night Live. I want someone hot and now and actually singing. The following week Ellen Page is set to host.
30 Rock rocks ..... if you haven't seen it .... watch it all!
ReplyDeleteI'm with mistik and ent on this. Tina Fey queen of hilarity.
ReplyDeleteI have to say though, what scar?
I hadn't noticed the scar until you mentioned it. I always thought she was funny. I see the scar now. Must have been something pretty bad. Makes me hope it was just something stupid like what happens to kids playing.

ReplyDeleteSQUEEEE!
ReplyDeleteMore episodes of 30 Rock and she's hosting SNL? YAY!
Tina + Kristen Wiig = AWESOME!
I think her scar adds to her charm. It's not like it's freakin open wound on her face! If anyone turns a channel b/c of a faded scar, they need to learn a little compassion!
ReplyDeleteENT - you def have a scar phobia! i, thank god, do not. now more photos of joaquin please!
ReplyDeleteevery home in america will tune in if they can get BRIT for the musical guest.
ReplyDeleteI really like Tina Fey, I think she is really funny and obviously really intelligent. 30 Rock is one of my favourite shows...and I agree, the scar just adds to her charm. Does anyone know how she got it, though?
ReplyDeletewikipedia says in an interview, she said it was a childhood accident.
ReplyDeleteI like her scar!
ReplyDeleteIf the US would let her in, Amy Winehouse would be a cool musical guest.
ReplyDeleteI love Tina Fey and also Amy Pohler too.
No one turned off SNL because of Tina's scar, how ridiculous--they just realized that SNL was sucking. It got much better with her as the head writer, and I was sad to see her go.
ReplyDeleteTina Fey has a scar? I seriously never noticed. I am in the group that thinks she's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI never even noticed a scar. Leave it to good ole hypocritical EL to point it out.
ReplyDeleteI mean cmon. REALLY EL? You just HAD to change the channel when she came on, even though you profess that your own physique would send women running and screaming? I just dont buy it.
RUDE
This must be like the "Timmy" scar, which I was also for some reason unable to see.
ReplyDeletei'm an avid fan and never noticed the scar either
ReplyDeleteShe also said that her parents don't like her to talk about it. It upsets them. So, it must have been pretty traumatic. That said, it was noticeable on SNL, but anybody who'd change the channel because of it is a doofus.
ReplyDeleteI'm the biggest fan of this blog... I hate commenting, but all of the negative comments about Tina Fey's scar is ridiculous. If you are that vain that you noticed it on SNL and TURNED THE CHANNEL, you are a terrible human being. That woman is a complete inspiration to any female particularly in the entertainment field but largely in any field, and to say she was unwatchable b/c of her scar is awful.
ReplyDeleteNever knew she had one, never noticed it at all. Get past it. This is no reason to not watch her or admire her work. She's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteParaphrasing Crocodile Dundee...
ReplyDeleteTina Fey? That's not a scar. Now Padma Lakshmi...THAT'S a scar.
Christ, EL. Hollywood has really gotten to you. I'm sure if you saw most of us you'd run screaming in horror. Because we look NORMAL. Is that why you set up a chat room but can't be bothered to set up a time to chat with all of us?? The notion of all of us sitting out bloated bodies in front of the monitor must make you nauseated...
