The Great Sesame Street Post

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I’ve thought a bit and I have no real clever way to introduce this, so I’m just gonna get down to it:

Sesame Street spoofed 30 Rock.

That’s right. I’m not kidding. As bizarre and weird as it may seem for a kids TV show to spoof a low rated, critically acclaimed comedy, Sesame Street is airing it’s spoof “30 Rocks” starting Liz Lemon (an actual lemon) and Jack the Boss. It even has the 30 Rock theme song and, god knows, educational value.

But wait there’s more Will Arnett is appearing in an episode of Sesame Street this season as well. And wait for it Arrested Development fans, he’s playing a magician. While he may be doing math instead of illusions, I bet he does a fantastic job.

I’ve posted the Sesame Street Preview below: (Will Arnett appears around 0:50 and the “30 Rocks” is around 1:40)
And since this is The Great Sesame Street Post, here’s a link to Tina playing a Bookaneer.
And a funny little interview about her guesting on Sesame Street.
And the article where I found this “30 Rocks” stuff.

Seeing how I probably wont be tuning into Sesame Street, if anyone knows where to find the full version of the 30 Rocks spoof, please share!

Tina and Steve Carell to star in “Date Night”

Friday, August 15th, 2008

As a fan of both 30 Rock (duh) and The Office, I believe this might be the best casting news I’ve ever heard.

Variety is reporting that Tina Fey and Steve Carell are teaming up for a movie!! Needless to say, I’m excited! How great will the two be together?!

You can read the article here.

Thanks to Sophie for the tip!

American Express Ad

Monday, July 7th, 2008

“Your daughter says it’s octopus time….”

That’s my favorite line from Tina’s first AmEx commercial. Makes me laugh every time. Now, I have a new reason to laugh at commercials (because mostly I think they’re annoying). Tina has made a new AmEx commercial! She runs into Martin Scorsese as a matter of fact!

Here’s a link. There’s a video and a little blurb at the bottom. Thanks Donnie the Page for the tip!

Comedy Actress Top Ten

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Woo! Tina made it into the Emmy’s Top Ten Leading Female in a Comedy!
(As if we had any doubt in our minds…)

Also, something made me smile. The article really just names who is in the Top Ten. But at the end, they want all the ladies to follow in Tina’s shoes. So much so that they gave us a Sandwich Day clip! And this is coming from EW.com, and they can be fickle.

As soon as the other Top Tens come out, I’ll let you all know!

EW Wish List

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Entertainment Weekly just put out this nice article about their Emmy Wish List. I say nice because EW can sometimes be fickle. But they only have lovely things to say about Tina, Alec and Tracy, which makes me a very happy lady. Also, they take a jab at Ugly Betty and her “Day-Glo Ponchos”, so all in all the article is a win-win.
