Those of you that know me know that I have some unusual tastes in women, for example I think that Helen Mirren may be the sexiest woman on earth and we all know what Katie Couric does for me, but if there is one woman that puts me over the top it is the witty little sexpot that is Tina Fey.
Oh I how remember fondly my first experience with Ms. Fey, I sat there a boy of maybe 15 or 16 watching Saturday Night Live and as the weekend update section of the show began I noticed something different the normal the fat goof ball better known as Collin Quinn was MIA and in his place was this sexy brunette with those glasses. You know the ones I’m talking about the kind an 80 year old Liberian would wear, but sexy in a slightly naughty way. It was behind this desk that Ms. Fey became in my mind the perfect woman. Attractive of course, but also incredibly funny and most importantly not afraid to make fun of herself. Seeing her each week made me long to be Jimmy Fallon so that I might sit next to her engaging in witty banter.
Then after a few years that fantasy would change when Jimmy finally departed the show, leaving as seat open at the Weekend Update desk. Amy Poehler would fill that chair and thus a new fantasy would be born. No longer did I see myself sitting at the desk with Tina Fey, I saw myself on top of the desk with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler or under the desk with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Sadly this fantasy did not last long as Tina would betray me and become pregnant. Now it is no secret that I don’t necessarily enjoy children, so the idea that Tina would become a mother turned me off of her. As I struggled to find someone else to fill the void left by Ms. Fey I found myself running from tv personality to tv personality looking for comfort. But no matter how hard I searched nothing could seem to fill that emptiness inside of me. So I decided I would have to grow up and deal with it, there was a kid involved now. So what I said and I clicked SNL back on only to find out that Tina Fey’s days in Studio 8H were numbered.
Oh I forgot to mention Mean Girls. Lets Rewind. So before Tina decided that it would a good idea to pop a kid, she wrote and stared in the movie, maybe you have heard if it is a little jem of a film called Mean Girls. Now when the movie came out there was all this talk about that coke whore Lindsay Lohan but for me the true star of the movie was Rachel McAdams, but we aren’t talking about her today so I’ll just mention that Tina Fey is also incredible in the film and the fact that she wrote the movie based on a nonfiction book also amazes me, because the movie which could have been a generic comedy about high school pushed the boundaries of the teen comedy by relying mostly on the script and not gratuitous sex or violence.
Ok getting back to where I left off. Tina Fey left SNL for her own sitcom, which she would both write and star in. At first I was so excited an entire half hour each week devoted to the girl of my dreams. But my excitement soon fell for a couple of reasons. The show was given the same time slot as Grey’s Anatomy, which at the time was my favorite show also Alec Baldwin was cast as Tina Fey’s co-lead. I’m not exactly the biggest fan of Alec or any of the Baldwin Brothers. So I didn’t tune in. The I discovered that NBC.com was showing episodes of the show, so I spent a weekend in June held up in my apartment at Fredonia State University watching the entire first season of 30 Rock, instead of studying for my final exams. I cannot say how much I love the show. It is now must see tv for me and Grey’s Anatomy gets recorded.
Which brings me to the writer’s strike. I fully support the writers but I don’t know how long I can go without tv in general but especially seeing Tina Fey. I have no desire to watch a remake of American Gladiators or a reality show based on Baywatch, and don’t get me started on the industrial sized douche bag that is Donald Trump. I wish that the bastards at the Networks would get off their fat asses and just give in. Please America has enough problems right now what with an idiot president, a shitty economy and a fucked-up war, we don’t need to go without watching our shows too.
So despite my best efforts I cannot deny the love I have for Tina Fey, while most 22 year old men long for Angelina Jolie, I say you can have that tall, skinny gorgeous woman, because my heart belongs to hot little number with a sharp wit and an incredibility sexy pair of glasses.

Ok so I must admit that after Tina Fey began writing for SNL... it got really bad very quickly... Maybe it's just not my humor, but it was a little dry for me. I sat through quite a few SNL's straight-faced until I stopped watching. I do enjoy her on Weekend Update, but the cast is pretty shitty and rarely do I laugh. Normally I youtube the skits that I hear are really funny (i.e. dick in a box, Iran president). I miss Cheri Oteri and Will Farrell. Especially the early 90's with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler. I still watch the old ones that come on every so often and laugh so hard I cry. I miss the good ol' SNL!!!
