Farewell for Fey?

May 22, 2006

It seems Tina Fey is leaving SNL. Saturday's episode featured a Fey retrospective, of sorts, on Weekend Update -- and as the show closed and the cast took to the stage, she wore a shirt that read: "Thank You." She does have the prime-time-planned comedy "30 Rock" on the NBC slate for the fall, and the upfront buzz is good. In Fey's honor, a haiku:

First chick head writer.
Backstage; then Weekend Update.
“Must-See” next? Good luck!

I think the time is right for Tina Fey to move on. She had a great run, but it's time to let the new blood officially take the wheel next year.

I think she's so funny but enough already. Her talents belong on a funnier show. I catch SNL every once in a while, waiting for it to redeem itself but it's just not funny anymore.

Is Rachel Dratch leaving also, since she is also going to be on "30 Rock", or is she going to do double duty?

I think it's good she is leaving . The show has been going downhill, with a not-so-talented cast and sketches that run too long. As one of the head writers she is responsible for this. The only onscreen time she has is "Weekend Update" which is is never funny. They devote too much time to it and her one-liers are lacking. I always channel surf until the segment is over.

Good! The show has been mostly un-funny for the last few years.
