Tina Fey reflected on Saturday Night Live’s politics over the weekend, revealing that she regrets some of her own takes on the show.
“There’s jokes that I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, I was on the wrong side of that,’” Fey said during an appearance on Saturday at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for History Talks’ event, according to Deadline. Fey joined the show as a writer in 1997, became head writer in 1999, and became a cast member in 2000. Though she strove to be “fair,” Fey admitted that she missed the mark at times.
“We always worked really hard to make sure that we felt like they were what we would call ‘a fair hit,’” she explained. “And I think part of that is, one, we knew we would get in trouble if it was wrong or random, but also because it sort of only felt like it would work if it was kind of based in something that was true.”
