Tracy Morgan and his boss, Tina Fey, attended the Knicks game yesterday. However, the future head of Saturday Night Live was humbled by NBC’s Mike Tirico.
While the sports commentator was naming the people sitting in Celebrity Row, he accidentally called her Tina Fox instead of Tina Fey. However, he did get Morgan’s name correct. Granted, I don’t think any Knicks fan will forget his name after that time he threw up all over the court.
Talking about feeling sick. Didn’t it look like Christine Taylor, her husband, Ben Stiller, and Fey all looked sick because they had to sit next to Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet? I am surprised the Oscar loser would take his girlfriend to an NBA game, knowing how her sisters like to date basketball players.
This weekend, Saturday Night Live celebrates its 50th anniversary. Yesterday, four of the show’s alums from the early 2000s had a Joke Off on The Tonight Show.
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon battled to see who is the funniest one of all by telling jokes about current events.
By doing this, we get to see if they are actually funny or if they have writers who make them seem that way.
So, what is the answer? They are all joke masters, which is why we are still talking about them. They left and continue to leave their marks on comedy history.
The Means Girls musical is doing a Hairspray and The Producers, as in the feature film that was turned into a Broadway musical, is being turned into a movie musical. However, you wouldn’t know it from the trailer they released today.
And that makes me wonder why? I have my theories, and none of them are positive.
New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.
Mean Girls: Tne Musical (?) will be released exclusively to theaters on January 12th.
Oh, here is something positive about the trailer. Jon Hamm is teaching sex ed. So I will dream about that tonight.
Lorne Michael is 78 years old, and he has hinted that he plans on retiring at the end of the show’s 50th season in 2025.
So NBC has two options. They can cancel the show, or they can try it out with a new Executive Producer. And if they go with the latter option, Page Six is reporting that Tina Fey is being courted for the job.
“I would be surprised if it wasn’t her,” a source said. “Seth Meyers has his own show. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg won’t come here. Judd Apatow passed [on the job] years ago. Amy Poehler has her own stuff. Bill Hader is directing a movie. Kate McKinnon is too hot.”
Personally, I think she would be the best choice because she has an eye for talent. And that is something Michaels hasn’t had in a really long time. Plus, she is funny. Does the sketch series even remember funny?
As we get closer to the curtains going up on Broadway again (hopefully) on May 30th, we find out which shows will not be back. Mean Girls is the latest production to announce that the lights will stay off for them at the August Wilson Theatre.
The musical based on Tina Fey’s 2004 movie started previews on March 12, 2018. Then one day short of their second anniversary, the Great White Way went silent because of COVID-19.
Even though it will not be returning to the stage, Broadway.com reports a movie version of the musical is in the works.
