This is crazy. You probably saw this. Former President George Bush Sr. celebrated his 85th birthday today by skydiving with CNN anchor Robin Meade. Fox News reported the story as, 'Liberal media pushes old man out of airplane.'" --Conan O'Brien

By Brian Howard I swiped that headline from a faux Drudge Report page that caps the video below. By the time you see it, you’ll be laughing as hard as I was. Yeah, it hits home a little bit. OK, a lot. But like Tina Fey would say, it’s funny because it’s true! (Jayson Blair bit notwithstanding.) The Daily Show [...]

By Brian Howard This might have been the least surprising news out of today’s NBC in-fronts, if not for the several outlets that put the Amy Poehler vehicle on the bubble. Now throw in SNL’s Amy Poehler—the closest thing to Tina Fey at SNL since Tina Fey left for 30 Rock —and it was like this show came with a fal...

But I'd cry if Bill Hader wasn't on SNL. He makes my life! (Also, he needs to star in his own Judd Apatow-produced film. He's a comedy goldmine!) I also would love to see Jason Sudeikis in a sitcom.

 TX - Tom Maurstad By TOM MAURSTAD Media Critic tmaurstad@dallasnews.com It's just Amy Poehler's luck to be working in the wake of Tina Fey. When they were at Saturday Night Live, Poehler got some attention for her uncanny impression of Hillary Clinton, all that surface ...

By Richard Lawson The crazy thing about these sitcom-starved times is that those numbers, which would never really be considered high, make it the seventh most popular comedy on television right now.

 NY Hot on the heels of a string of Disney hits, the former child actress was cast in Mean Girls, a Heathers-meets-Clueless-style comedy from then-aspiring SNL writer Tina Fey. Ah -- how times have changed. Now Fey is the toast of TV and Lohan -- well, ...

By ochmonek The first part of the NBC shuffle happened this week when Conan O’Brien handed over the reins of Late Night to Jimmy Fallon. Fallon, an ex-SNL cast member, loved and hated in fairly equal measure, failed to set the box-office alight with two curious clunker remakes as star vehicles, Taxi an...

By Brian Howard I don’t have the stomach for most awards shows, so I have a great appreciation for Heather Salerno’s most excellent wrap-up of the Golden Globe Awards.

By noreply@blogger.com (OKonheim) With all this in mind, it's near impossible to think that Tina Fey with so many weapons in her arsenal can miss the mark and fail to produce laughter out of us. Baby Mama, however, is a watered-down version of Tina Fey's brilliance. The only truly brilliant comedic creation was courtesy of Ste...

By Kyle Buchanan A faint scar runs across Tina Fey’s left cheek, the result of a violent cutting attack by a stranger when Fey was five. Her husband [Jeff Richmond] says, “It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen.” [...]

By Intern Margaret “Lorne brought her over to my house when she was head writer,” Mengers recalls. “She was very mousy. I thought, Well, they gotta be having an affair. But they weren’t. He just appreciated her talent. And now, suddenly, she’s become this sexy, showing-tit, hot-looking woman. I said to Lorne, ‘Wh...

It's not often that you laugh out loud at a sitcom. So much so that I can't remember the last time I watched a 1/2 hour sitcom (except for Entourage, which I think is actually the best show on TV right now, and I don't think of it as a sitcom, but I'm not sure exactly what category it would fit in). But...

By Brian Howard Not that things didn’t get dicey for a while. Baldwin’s voicemail tirade coincided with Tracy Morgan’s drunken driving issues and was followed shortly after by Baldwin’s seeming threat to quit the show when he went on The View and said he didn’t care if he never acted again.

Despite Feymania, NBC declined to push up its premiere date for Season Three of "30 Rock," which was and is and will always be Oct. 30. Right now, special primetime Thursday editions of "SNL" are camping out in "30 Rock's" timeslot (9:30 p.m.) and, in fact, the first lured almost twice as many vi...

By Roger Catlin They didn't waste time getting in Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in the season opener of "Saturday Night Live." She was in the opening sketch that preceeds the titles, in a smart bit with last season's best received political character, Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.

By Myles A week from today (Since it's now Sunday as I write this), Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are each nominated for Emmy Awards for their individual comic performances (I'll have Emmy coverage all week!

Capping a week in which it got 16 Emmy nominations, "Mad Men" snared three TV Critics Association Awards Saturday. Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels may have been the most succinct recipient of the night in winning the Career Achievement Award.

By Ringo Saturday, May 3, 2008 Who would win a catfight between Tina Fey vs Ann Coulter? Is the Feud for Real? By all reports, and by listening to these two talk about one another, one thing seems quite obvious. They hate each other.

By Brian Howard I confront a particular dilemma while blogging about 30 Rock: Tina Fey and Co. say a lot of things in their prime time slot that I could never print in this space. Meanwhile, don’t expect any of the upcoming episodes to be about the TGS writers hitting the picket lines.

By Brian Howard On endorsing Hillary on SNL (more…) When Saturday Night Live returned from the writers strike and wanted to make a splash, producers turned to former SNL veteran Tina Fey.

By Joyce, CBB Correspondent Tina Fey's daughter, Alice Zenobia, 19 months, with husband Jeff Richmond, is a TV buff. She doesn't watch her mom's show 30 Rock, but rather Sesame Street. Tina tells Conan O'Brien on Late Night how mother and daughter have both gotten into the show.

By Tempo Thursday’s episode, a “supersized” edition (40 minutes), is ample proof that this gem is by far TV’s best new comedy. In my humble opinion, “30 Rock” is every bit as good as “The Office” (which also returns from reruns Thursday with a new, supersized episode).
