“It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.”
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

“Oh yeah. If Tina Fey calls me, I’m there. That woman, she changed my life … if Tina Fey calls, it doesn’t matter, if she just wants me to babysit, I’m there.”
haha, i stopped watching right after they came out drinking, so it looks like i didn’t miss anything in that last hour. thanks, tumblr gifs!
Amy [Poehler] was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can’t remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and ‘unladylike.’
Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, ‘Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.’
Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. ‘I don’t fucking care if you like it.’ Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit. I should make it clear that Jimmy and Amy are very good friends and there was never any real beef between them. (Insert penis joke here.)
With that exchange, a comic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute. She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

I did a photoshoot once with Oprah for O magazine, and it’s a big deal when Oprah comes in place, and I was like, “Oh my, she’s coming to my apartment I gotta get everything out of here.” So I called a friend Jennifer Greenberg who does the set dressing for 30 Rock, she came over and fixing up the apartment mostly involves taking my stuff out, we put it in a truck and I don’t know, they hid it in the woods or something, and she put a nice little rug down, and she put a bowl of fancy pears, and they made it really nice. And Oprah came in the door, and my daughter immediately was like, “Come here, come here.” to Oprah, and led her to this bowl of beautiful fruits and was like, “These crazy bananas are for you.”
I love all Alice stories.
Okay, Tina, it’s really time for you to stop making jokes about how unattractive you are. GOOD LORD.
i love the bigger shot, especially her shoes, but good lord, what the hell is going on with that cover?
Tina: I think this is gonna work out really well between me and you, ‘cause it’s, it’s like good energy, it’s- it’s gonna be kinda cool, like that movie Monster.
Amy: Yeah?
Tina: Yeah, you saw that movie Monster, right?
Amy: Yeah. Are you-are you gonna kill me?
Tina: No! I’m gonna kill other people, and you’re gonna be my girlfriend.
Amy: Cool!
