Tina Fey Talks Oprah, Her Daughter, And Tracy Morgan (VIDEO)

Tina Fey was a guest on Letterman last night and while there to promote "Date Night," the comedian spent a good amount of time talking about two very important people in her life: her daughter and Tracy Morgan. From the way she describes her, Fey's daughter sounds awesome (especially the way she deals with Oprah). As for Morgan - well, you already know how great he is. But hearing Fey's impression of him kind of seals the deal.

I wonder if she was a smartass, even as a nine-year-old. I say that as a man who cherishes smartass women.

I continue to never laugh once at this woman.

Never understood how she got so successful at comedy, maybe the business end of entertainment, I can see that, but not comedy. I think I would actually watch 30 Rock if she wasn't on it.

Funny. Every time I've seen Tracy Morgan on tv, I've felt kind of embarassed. You know, when someone's SO bad that you want to look away because it makes you uncomfortable.

Anyway. I think he should keep his day job.

The ultimate manage a trois, Tina Fey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Laughing my way to orgasmic heaven.

I always liked her. But now, she seems to be getting sexier with age. Man, I'm jealous of her husband.

Wow! A Tracy Morgan imitation? Immmpressive! But you ain't seen nothin' until you've seen my Spring Byington! You don't know who Spring Byington is? Well, I've never heard of - what's her/his name?

The Tracy Morgan impersonation was spot-on. It was just a fluke that she happened to look a lot like SP because I'm pretty sure she would still have nailed it anyway.

was that 'Baby Elepahant Walk' for her walk-on? if so, should she be insulted?

I believe the song was "Last Night" by the Mar-keys. No insult intended, I'm sure!

Timing is everything, 30 Rock was (and still is) so-so IMHO. But the Sarah Palin impersonations really shot her to the top. I concede Sarah did one good thing.

about 30 Rock premièring in Germany:
it runs at weird, irregular times on "ZDF neo", which is a tiny new station (started in Nov. 2009) doing reruns of its parent station, ZDF (i.e. "Second German Television", one of the two public TV-stations in Germany) and it is dubbed in German, so most of the jokes are just in vain.
Actually, Tracy Morgan is a problem for the shows' success, as he is not considered funny here because most of his jokes will only work in a society with low power-distance index like the USA - not Germany (or Japan).
0.0% ratings are somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 viewers and was surprising to most professional web-authors, but it takes time (6 months or more) for viewers to note a new station exists and to change their satellite receivers' settings in order to be able to view it and then such a series has to run at a convenient time and always at the same time - which it doesn't.
Germany is said to be the most difficult market in the world - way harder than the US - because of its laws, public TV stations and the rather high expectations of highly critical viewers.

I thought Germany's power-distance index was slightly lower than the states.

Anyway, it's hard to crack any market when the shows are dubbed all the time. Germany should do like Scandinavia and just run things in their original versions with subtitles. When I would watch things dubbed in german I felt like half the jokes were ruined in their attempt to be "germanified".

Plus shows like 30 Rock may never do well in europe because the jokes are just very culturally american.

That and it's not like the german's are known for their comedic prowess. I lived there for over a decade and the only germans who could make me laugh on any kind of a regular basis were Stefan Raab, Bully and Stromberg... and Stromberg is based on the british office anyway... so there you go.

These "highly critical viewers" that you speak of, sure seemed to not be able to get enough of Magnum PI, Friends or Baywatch reruns either ;-)

Spot on. I lived in Germany for 5 years and the whole country is just too serious.
