Tina Fey Reveals 'A Dirty Secret' Of 'Saturday Night Live'
HuffPost
The former "SNL" star made the disclosure to help the U.K.'s new version of the sketch comedy show.
Tina Fey on Friday revealed a “dirty secret” of “Saturday Night Live” to save the makers of a U.K. version a bit of stress.
At the Edinburgh TV Festival, presenter Graham Norton mentioned to the ex-“SNL” writer and star (1997-2006) that he could not believe British writers would stay up all night Tuesday, as American counterparts have, to finish sketches before table reads on Wednesday.
The till-the-wee-hours shifts are the stuff of “SNL” legend, but Fey got candid about their effectiveness.
“Here’s a dirty secret, you don’t have to do it that way, you could start in the morning,” she told Norton, per Scotland’s Dunfermline Press.
Fellow “SNL” alum Jason Sudeikis essentially agreed with Fey in an interview several years ago.
Amy Duggar King said she is “utterly shocked,” but “at the same time, not surprised."
