In this week’s magazine, Tina Fey writes about the lessons she learned as a writer on “Saturday Night Live.” Fey and other women use the ladies’ room; “the men urinate in cups.” Harvard graduates write “commercial parodies about people wearing barrels after the 1929 stock-market crash”; improvisers from Second City create “loud drag characters named Vicki and Staci screaming their catchphrase over and over.” Click over to the site for more vintage Tina Fey video.
Oh, Tina. Best quotes:
“Not all the men at ‘S.N.L.’ whizzed in cups. But four or five out of twenty did, so the men have to own that one”
“Only in comedy, by the way, does an obedient white girl from the suburbs count as diversity.”
