I am – Hercules!!
America has fallen in love with Horatio Sanz on the Weekend Update desk!! How will it react when the beloved Sanz is pushed aside by Tina Fey's return from maternity leave?? Quite well, perhaps, now that Fey sports Dratch-calibre breastitude!!
“I had to get back to work,” the now-superhot 35-year-old millionairess MILF said in a Thursday press release. “NBC has me under contract; the baby and I have only a verbal agreement.”
“Saturday Night Live” 31.3 is lousy with Britishers! Host is Wales native Catherine Zeta Jones. Musical guest is Scottish pop sensation Franz Ferdinand.
So … back to Fey. In addition to serving as head writer and eye-candy cast member on SNL, Fey, who authored the screenplay to the big-screen Paramount smash “Mean Girls,” is said to be in the middle of casting an NBC sitcom set behind the scenes of an SNL-like variety telecast. It’s supposed to bow early next year.
But. NBC very recently won a bidding war to acquire, from “Sports Night”-“West Wing” mastermind Aaron Sorkin, an hourlong set behind the scenes of a very SNL-like variety telecast. It’s due to bow next autumn.
So now that it’s landed Sorkin, will the network continue to lend a lot of support to the Fey project (which is produced by SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels, himself a comedy genius)? Can one network house two backstage-at-SNL productions?
Time will tell, my friends. Time will tell.
11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.
