USA Today reports: Tina Fey doesn’t want “any more good people to get hurt” at planned rallies and protests from far-right groups. So, she has offered an alternative to attending these gatherings, a practice she calls “sheet caking.” “I would urge people this Saturday, instead of participating in the screaming matches and potential violence, find a local business you support, …

Via Raw Story: Comedian Tina Fey sarcastically dangled the bait at the army of Internet trolls who inhabit Breitbart.com on Wednesday during a speech to a group honoring women working in the entertainment field. “I promised myself I wouldn’t get up here today and talk about the election,” Fey quipped before alluding to the controversy earlier this year over the …

“I’m sure many of you saw Tina Fey, who sounds nothing like my mom, do a skit based on my Mom’s endorsement of Donald Trump. I don’t know about you, but hearing her fake accent is like nails on a chalkboard for me! I may be biased, but I think my mom trumps her in the looks department. (Especially for …

You knew this was coming. The Daily Beast recaps: As the whole world predicted this past week, the return of Sarah Palin to the national stage in order to endorse Donald Trump for president meant the return of Tina Fey to Saturday Night Live. It couldn’t have taken long for Lorne Michaels to reach out to his Palin-impersonating all-star, and …

Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend to renew her famed impression of Sarah Palin. Today Palin returns the favor in a video from the group that gave us Ted Cruz frying bacon on a gun and Lindsey Graham destroying his cell phone in a blender. Via Mediaite: Palin stars in the newest IJR video in a parody …

Deadline Hollywood reports that NBC has signed a deal for a new Tina Fey-produced show that appears to have its setting in a Fire Island bar. The project, said to be in the vein of Cheers, is a character-driven workplace comedy where a young woman in search of reconnecting with her father finds a new home and family on Fire …

Tina Fey on same-sex marriage as Palin: “Well, the bible says it’s gross. Marriage is meant for people who wear different kinds of swimsuits.” Wingnuts are screaming over on Breitbart and Twitchy. Good.

Well, at least we’ll get the final season. The struggling Peacock network is taking a new direction with its primetime lineup, and that means cleaning house. Until this week, the once-dominant network had been suspiciously mum on its plans for next season. That all changed with a giant info dump from NBC execs which included the fates of veteran sitcoms …

“The violent imagery of Tracy’s rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community. It also doesn’t line up with the Tracy Morgan I know, who is not a hateful man and is generally much too sleepy and self-centered to ever hurt another person. I hope for …

Yesterday Fox News used the above photo of Tina Fey to illustrate a story about this year’s major GOP presidential contenders. Whoopsie. (Tipped by JMG reader Birdie)

On the GLAAD Media Awards red carpet: Ricky Martin, Andy Cohen, the Fabulous Beekman Boys, Denis O’Hare, Wilson Cruz, Tracy Young, Jarrett Barrios, Russell Simmons (and lots of reality/cooking show folks I don’t really know) followed by lots of shots of the awards show, including winner Tina Fey. Full-screen versions here.

“And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women – except, of course –those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape ‘kit ‘n’ stuff.’ But for everybody else, it’s a win-win. Unless you’re a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years …

Tina Fey returned to host SNL last night. Classic skewering of Palin.

Right-wing filmmaker Jon Zeigler sits Sarah Palin down to rip on bloggers, Katie Couric, Tina Fey, and the liberal gotcha media. Palin’s reaction to Fey’s most quoted joke about Bristol and Levi: “The Mama Grizzly rises up in me hearing things like that.” This clip is an excerpt from Zeigler’s coming documentary, How Obama Got Elected.

Some booing from the SNL audience at the beginning of the second clip, but otherwise he was well-received. It pains me to admit that John McCain does have some comedic chops.

Will Ferrell made a cameo appearance on SNL: Thursday Update last night to reprise his excellent Dubya impersonation. Not their funniest sketch, but a little Tina Fey goes a long way. Ferrell will play Dubya in a one-man Broadway show scheduled to open on February 1st.

As expected, last night Sarah Palin appeared on SNL. Her first bit was so-so, but she wasn’t as terribly wooden as some politicians have been. Palin had even less to do in the Weekend Update skit than in the opening, but (as always) Amy Poehler knocked it out of the park in a rap parody of Palin’s campaign. My name …
