Tina Fey hosts post-strike 'Saturday Night Live'
NBC's "SNL" producers have declared that the late-nighter will return with co-anchor of "Weekend Update" Tina Fey at the helm. The show died with Tina Fey as head writer, and it is finally making its comeback.'SNL' is one of the first TV shows to recover from the painful writers strike.
Their last episode, featured an amazing skit about a Clinton Halloween party, in which the real Barack Obama guest-starred-in a Barack Obama mask.
The show is slated for four consecutive weeks of production and Ellen Page, star of 2007's Oscar-nominated "Juno" has been confirmed to host "Saturday Night Live" the following week.
Having just won numerous accolades, including a Screen Actors Guild Award, Tina Fey is on top of her game as an actor, writer, producer and thought-provoker.
While Conan O'Brien's "Late Night" and the "Tonight" show had eventually returned without writers "Saturday Night Live" is so dependent on its writers that it couldn't return without them. SNL was the only late-night comedy show to go AWOL for the whole strike.
Sources close to the show expect Tina's brainy sitcom 30 Rock to return for an additional 5-10 episodes this season.
