"30 Rock" creator and star Tina Fey spoke to the press Tuesday about the post-strike return of her Emmy-winning sitcom and talked about who she'd like to see do guest spots on the show. USA Today and the NY Post both covered the event.

"We would love to work with Britney," Fey said of Spears. "I worked with her twice on 'SNL' and she was very professional and nice."

She also talked about big O.

"I still want Oprah to play my best friend. I want to spend time with Oprah," Fey said on the press call. "And I don't know what I need to do to make that happen."

Fey also wants an acclaimed -albeit diminutive - actor for the love interest of her character. "You know who would be good? Peter Dinklage. That guy's awesome."

"30 Rock" returns April 10.

Ummm, after Tina's famous 'C'mon Ohio and Texas, you still have a chance' and 'the bitch is the new black', I doubt Oprah will ever make an appearance Mzzzz. Fey's sitcom. She loves, loVES, LOVES the other O - Obama! And, who knows if Tina wasn't behind the anti-Obama SNL skits! Especially the 3 AM phone call. So, not funny to the original O, I'm sure.

Wow, vilifying Tina Fey? That's like throwing rocks at the Tooth Fairy.

I think it would be great to see Oprah buy the letter O, since that's how everyone refers to her.

30 Rock will be back on the air on April 10. No doubt she is stirring up interest and attention via SNL, Reader's Digest and HuffPo. It's PR for the lead up to the new, extended season.

I think Tina was being "ironic" when she made these comments.

Tina Fey looks like a younger version of Cristine Rose, who plays Angela Petrelli on Heroes. Especially in this picture.

Tina is starting to show symptoms of the typical Hollywood star. She doesn't realize that Alec Baldwin MAKES that show. Get rid of him and watch the ratings drop like a rock off a cliff. She herself ain't funny worth a shiite .

she acknowledged that very fact re Alec Baldwin when she accepted her award for WRITING the show. An actor ain't much without a script. Why bash her?

Being Oprah's BFF isn't a bad deal. Tina might be able to get her own $7 million penthouse apartment!

Let's hope Oprah doesn't fall for that one. Given Tina's humor, she will feel the need to knee cap Oprah to prove she's hip and progressive. Nada...

I guess ratings are so bad that you'll do anything to get Oprah or Britney on the show???

Dang, who would've thought that 5'8" would be too tall for Tina Fey. She is one sexy lady.

If she wants some real laughs maybe she should try to get Mr. Stewart of the Daily Show ;-)

If I were Oprah I wouldn't go near 30 Rock in light of Tina Fey's incessant negative stereotypes for people of color

Cut it out. She doesn't negatively stereotype anyone Look, I wish she supported Barack, but 30 Rock is just good-natured comedy. And she takes plenty of shots at herself for supporting Hillary. And they're funny. So lighten up. You'll live longer and enjoy it more.

If Opra has ANY sense she would never lower herself to be anywhere near TF.

Oprah should invite Tina Fey on and ask her why she is using ridicule to attack Obama as opposed to the facts. Then ask why Hillary has to lie in order to get traction in her race for the nomination.
