Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow

Posted by Maggie May 22nd, 2006 at 03:03pm In Polls SNL

This past Saturday was probably (unconfirmed) Tina Fey's last Saturday Night Live, after 9 years working on the show.

Next year she's going to be writing and starring in the undoubtably awesome 30 Rock, which leaves little time for anchoring Weekend Update and head writer-ing and playing with her cute baby.

I know it's not cool to admire SNL. It has the singular ability to appear as if were in a state of constant decline. But I still watch. It's the only show of its kind, and even when it fails (as it often does), there's usually something to enjoy or at least to learn.

And I wholeheartedly love Tina Fey. She's smart and wry and introduced the word "cooter" into my vocabulary. She made the non-fiction book Queen Bees and Wannabees into the incomparable Mean Girls. She kicks ass and dominates in the comedy world, which is traditionally a huge sausagefest. And she's hilarious. 

So it's sad for SNL if it's true (unconfirmed), but not too sad for the rest of the world, because there's 30 Rock. And maybe her leaving (and I assume Rachel Dratch is leaving too — she's also in 30 Rock, and also great) will shake things up. It'll be interesting, worth watching, and yet another excuse for everyone to complain that the show is not as good as it once was.

And after the jump, a poll. Because I love polls almost as much as I love Tina Fey. [?php jal_democracy(9); ?]

Also, I sort of look like her. Right? Don't I? Right? Right?

    I didn’t know that. That is sad.

    Amy Poehler’s still going to stick around, right? I think love her most of all.

    Yeah, I just realized that I actually am not totally sure Tina Fey is leaving SNL. I made a couple assumptions based on what happened on Saturday’s show and the fact that 30 Rock got picked up. Assumptions are cool when I’m talking to myself or people, but maybe not the coolest when writing on the internet. So… this entire post could be based on an untruth. My apologies.

    I can’t find anyone willing to confirm or deny, but it seemed like they were giving her a sendoff with all her “favorite characters.” She could always quit as a writer but stick around to do Weekend Update. It wouldn’t take that much time. They’ll probably shoot 30 Rock somewhere in the building anyway.

    And how bout that “David Spade” haircut in the clip from 6 years ago?

    I also assumed Tina & Dratch are outta there. You should do a poll on who should take over update (assuming Poehler won’t do it solo). I vote Seth Meyers.
