That is one long article....

She still couldn't hold a candle to many of the pre-00s SNLers.

I RTFA; I'd take Tina over Jessica Simpson every single time.

Jessica who?

Tina Fey is the sex symbol for people who think wearing glasses = SMRT. She's a great writer and a reasonably good actress, that's it. Is John Oliver the sex symbol for every smart woman? Do you see Aasif Mandvi as a nerdy intellectual because he writes good jokes?

/Looking forward to Aasif in The Last Airbender

I'll just leave this here...

I've never heard or read an actual opinion from her. Is she smart?

OnmyojiOmn: Is John Oliver the sex symbol for every smart woman?

Every smart, single woman I know would jump him in a heartbeat.

Did you guys know Tina Fey has a movie coming out?

I wonder what show you were watching while you typed that comment. Really. Baffled.

logophile: look at her body of work to decide for yourselves if she's smart.
setting up the obvious joke: i don't think you can be a professional writer and not be smart in some quantifiable way or another.



coco ebert: Zombie Hitler: I've never heard or read an actual opinion from her. Is she smart?

30 Rock is hilarious and she writes many of the episodes so yeah, I'd say she was smart.

I don't know. I think that makes her funny.

logophile: look at her body

Will do, just provide the pics.

So, having one book ghost written for you makes you a professional writer now?

Man On A Mission: Zombie Hitler: setting up the obvious joke: i don't think you can be a professional writer and not be smart in some quantifiable way or another.

You don't really think Palin actually wrote that book, do you? As in, sat down and typed coeherent sentences in a manuscript form?

That thing had more ghosts than the Haunted Mansion.

lol, he said he was setting up the obvious joke, so I went with it.

Having a book published with your name on the cover probably does.

I don't know. I think that makes her funny.

Tho one would argue there's a positive relationship between wit and intelligence.

Oh I agree, but is she witty? She's definitely funny.

Tina Fey: How we fell in love with the queen of comedy

Weird that this article is in a British paper, considering ~99% of Brits have probably never heard of her. I only know of her name from Fark headlines.

I remember when Gillian Anderson was the thinking man's sex symbol (until we all realized how dippy she is in real life).

I remember when Janeane Garofalo was the thinking man's sex symbol (then she stopped making good movies and became a one-dimensional celebrity political commentator).

I remember when Kari Byron was the thinking man's sex symbol (then all the nerds' short penile attention spans were like "waaaaagh Christina Hendricks has big tits!)

Shatner's Bassoon: Weird that this article is in a British paper, considering ~99% of Brits have probably never heard of her. I only know of her name from Fark headlines.

You should check out 30 Rock. It's good stuff.

I think, therefore...I wanna shag Tina Fey up the pooper?

What, you're insinuating that being thinking man's sex symbol is just as transitory as being a regular sex symbol? Amazing!

Now excuse me, I must go fap to Diane Keaton, because I've been doing so since 1977.

MonkeyAngst: You should check out 30 Rock. It's good stuff.

Not sure if that even gets shown in the UK; if it does it's probably on some obscure satellite channel that I don't have access to. I'll keep my eyes open though.

Well, she does.

The problem with smart chicks is that they are much harder to talk into anal.

Ironclad2: A CHALLENGER APPEARS!

Book it. Done.

I love me some Tina Fey, but I'd literally throw her under a bus to get to Danica. Way smarter AND way hotter.

Depends on what you want to think about.

Joan Greenwood


Madeleine Carroll

Paula Prentiss

Well, if you want to go old-school, there's Hedy Lamarr, inventor of frequency-hopping:

tomWright: I'll just leave this here...

pancakes?

RockIsDead: 30 Rock is predictable. A computer could write it.

Is a computer smart? Or merely good at running 'formulas'?

Seth McFarlane is gorgeous! (You brought up formulas)

All of you guys snarking - I'm not a fan on hers; in fact I barely know her name, but I'll bet she's way hotter than any of you will ever get.

wall-eyed

That's Hedley!

Hugh could get me to buy an issue of Playboy for the first time in a decade if he managed to get her nekkid in it.

Phil Herup: Meh... Fey looks like crap without make up.


She is from Delco, PA. That ugly and does not wash out very easy.

Anyone else picture Phil as being short fat and balding?

Shatner's Bassoon: Anyone else picture Phil as being short fat and balding?

Yes.

I give credit to people who manage to get out of PA.

/no shortage of Pennsylvania jokes in her work, either, and none of them complimentary
