Tina Fey As Object of Desire
Virginia Heffernan about Tina Fey: “On "[Weekend] Update" she periodically slides into the kind of easy world-weariness that is associated with Jan Hooks, who is one of the former cast members that Fey most admires. At other times, she uses broad self-mockery and caricature, which recalls Gilda Radner’s work, although when Fey claims in jokes that she can’t get a date she’s hard to believe. In fact, she may be alone among contemporary female comics in appearing, above all, distant and aloof—an object of desire.”
