    I noticed several things while scanning the reviews done previously for Tina Fey. One was that the last one was done in February of last year. hide show

    Thought it might be time to reiterate a few things. This superlative writer, producer, comedienne, and actress has carved a niche for herself in a very crowded field. She is uniquely, and multi-talented; equal parts mimic, satirist, stand-up, and sketch artist. We've seen her wonderful ad-libs during hosting duties, watched her spot on imitations of celebrities (a certain former Governor of Alaska immediately comes to mind), and enjoyed the sketches penned for SNL. When we think of 30 Rock, many of us first see Tina as Liz Lemon in our minds. She is the heart and soul of the show - without her, no one would shine as brightly. This includes the wonderful Alec Baldwin, Jane Krakowsi, and Tracy Morgan. Young women who wish to break into comedy, whatever the medium chosen, will owe a debt to Tina Fey.

    Very funny and very smart hide show

    Tina Fey certainly has her own sense of humor she is very smart very quick and sometimes makes a few off color jokes which is great. 30 rock is diffenatky one of my favorite shows on televison the characters are hilarious and the script is genius she does an amazing job with the writing. She also had great roles in Mean Girls and Baby momma. She has admitted that she was a nerd which is funny because now she has her career and she in movies she might still be a nerd but now shes a rich, successful nerd, go Tina Fey!

    Brilliantly multi-talented, and loyal. hide show

    Tina Fey is a gift to comedy and television. There are few people who demonstrate the cleverness and creativity of this woman. In a world of generic, cookie-cutter reality shows Fey's 30 Rock is a breath of creative air. It is no mistake she was so quickly made head writer at SNL. She has not only comedic talent as an actor, but a sharp eye for understanding society and describing it in a way that is funny, and also insightful. Tina Fey crams so much information and cleverness in her shows that you have to watch them more than once to get it all. I am sure the NBC folks get even more because there are sure to be inside jokes to which we are not privy. It is more than that though. As you watch her shows you realize that Tina Fey is a loyal supporter of her friends and collaborators. We often hear that entertainment is a cutthroat business but Tina Fey's projects demonstrate her abiding loyalty to her friends. She looks out for them and she gives them opportunities. She is like a Michael Jordan of comedy in that she makes her teammates better. This is admirable and is another reason to respect this intelligent and talented woman.

    Tina Fey currently has the hit comedy "30 Rock" on her hands, but was also responsible for success movies like "Mean Girls" and "Baby Mamma." hide show

    Tina Fey has emerged as the most fresh and original of modern comedians. With hit television shows and movies, she has redefined comedy through her superior wit. Not only has she proven her incredible writing skills and sense of humor, but Ms. Fey writes, produces, and stars in her projects all at once. Now an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, the recent A-lister seems to be making all of the right moves currently and shows no signs of stopping. For those who questioned her spontaneous magic and claimed it would vaporize quickly, they can still wonder.

    Funny to the bone. hide show

    Tina Fey is funny. I watched Saturday Night Live with her writing some of the bits and I have to say some of it was great. I especially liked her as the weekend update anchor. She was really hot with the glasses and her hair. I enjoyed watching the show just to see the bit. I must say that I don't like the new show of 30 Rock. I don't find it funny, but I can't tell you why. I will say that she is very talented and I am happy that she has done well in her career outside of SNL. Thank you.
