Fey, who wrote the script for the iconic 2004 teen comedy, discussed its upcoming musical adaptation during a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The 30 Rock star confirmed she and Meadows will return to their roles from the original movie as Ms. Norbury and Principal Duval, respectively.

“We couldn’t age out, teachers work forever. I want it to be like when Gilligan from Gilligan’s Island was at a trade show and you’re like, ‘Oh he looks so old in his little hat.’ That’s my goal,” Fey told her former Saturday Night Live co-star Seth Meyers.

Mean Girls: The Musical is based on the hit Broadway musical, which received 12 Tony nominations following its premiere in 2018. Reneé Rapp will be the only cast member to return to her role from the Broadway run as Regina George, while the rest of the cast will include Angourie Rice as Cady, Auli’i Cravalho as Janis, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, Bebe Wood as Gretchen, and Avantika Vandanap as Karen.

Tina Fey & Amy Poehler: Restless Leg Tour has been described as a celebration of “thirty years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories, and conversational entertainment.” Following its official announcement, the duo jokingly said, “If this tour goes right, we can finally end this friendship!”

The tour will kick off with a limited run of four shows this spring, taking place in Washington, Chicago, Boston, and Atlantic City. No additional dates were indicated in the official announcement, but we’re not ruling out the possibility the SNL duo will include them in the future.

Fey and Poehler met in their early 20s, and their rise to prominence started when they both joined Saturday Night Live. They quickly went on to become one of the show’s dynamic duos and made history as Weekend Update’s first all-female anchor team.

Following their departure from SNL, Fey and Poehler co-hosted Golden Globes on four separate occasions, in addition to co-starring in several movies, including Mean Girls, Baby Mama, Sisters, and Wine Country.

The new flick will be based on the Broadway musical of the 2004 comedy which followed Cady Heron as she returns to the U.S. from Kenya and starts the year at North Shore High School. There, she is exposed to the different cliques and tries to make friends with the popular girls headed by Regina George. 

The show ran for 833 performances at the August Wilson Theater, but was forced to close in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly before, Tina Fey, who wrote the original film and the book, announced that the musical would be getting the big screen treatment. Now, after almost three years of waiting, the cast of the forthcoming movie has been revealed. 

Angourie Rice, who starred in the recent Spider-Man franchise, will fill the role of Cady which Lindsay Lohan depicted in the film. Reneé Rapp will reprise her Broadway role of Regina George, filling Rachel McAdam’s shoes. Auli’i Cravalho, and Jaquel Spivey have been cast as Janis and Damien, respectively. 

Fey will write the script and produce.

The 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards is going bicoastal with hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler returning to helm the ceremony for the first time since 2015. But the comedians won’t be in the same room—Fey will broadcast live from New York City and Poehler will host from Los Angeles.

However, this won’t be the first time awards shows air simultaneously in different cities, as the Oscars did it in the mid-1950s for several years.

This decision is a result of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, NBC, and Globes producers Dick Clark Prods trying to figure out how to air the award show during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It still isn’t known if presenters and nominees will participate in person, remotely, or with a mixture of both.

The Golden Globes is set to air on Sunday, February 28, which is nearly two months later than normal due to the pandemic.

Last year’s awards were hosted by Ricky Gervais and they were one of the most-watched network telecasts of the year with 19.2 million viewers.

The 78th Golden Globe Awards are expected to take place on February 28th, taking the Oscars’ former slot. The ceremony will be held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills and broadcasted live on NBC.

The rest of the important dates are yet to be announced. “To accommodate both domestic and international film and television productions, the HFPA will provide further guidance around eligibility, voting period, and revised nominations announcement timing in the coming weeks,” reads the HFPA’s press release.

The Golden Globes usually mark the beginning of awards season, as they take place on the first Sunday of the calendar year. The date had to shift, however, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, but one thing remains the same – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are expected to host the ceremony.

Multiple outlets confirm that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will return to host the Golden Globe Awards for the fourth time in 2021. The news was announced by NBC on Saturday.

“NBC has long been the home to two of the funniest people on the planet — Tina Fey and Amy Poehler — and we didn’t want to wait any longer to share the great news that they’ll be hosting the Globes once again,” NBC Entertainment Chairman Paul Telegdy said in a statement.

Fey and Poehler hosted three times previously, from 2013-2015.

The 2020 Golden Globes were hosted by five times host Ricky Gervais. This year’s ceremony was confirmed to be his last and by the stars’ reactions to his opening monologue, they couldn’t agree more!

So good, that he is set to play the mayor on another series.

NBC has decided to order a new series from Tiny Fey and Robert Carlock who brought us the genius that is 30 Rock.

According to the network, “the series is about a wealthy businessman who runs for mayor of Los Angeles for all the wrong reasons. Once he wins he has to figure out what he stands for, gain the respect of his staff, and connect with his teenage daughter, all while controlling the coyote population.”

Danson will fill the role as the mayor-elect, with the part reportedly being written specifically for him.

The show has been greenlit straight to series, so expect it sometime in the fall!

This intriguing project is based on a New York Times column and podcast of the same name, and it doesn’t only focus on romantic relationships. It will explore love in all shapes and forms it takes – including sexual, platonic and self-love.

The eight-episode, half-hour anthology series will star the likes of Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, Dev Patel, John Slattery and Catherine Keener. The list goes on, but you get the point – Amazon did a great job attracting big-star names to this project.

John Carney, known for his stellar work on romance musicals Once and Begin Again, will write, direct and produce Modern Love. The renowned filmmaker said working on this project feels like waking up in the actor candy store since he managed to assemble a dream cast of his favorite actors. Emmy Rossum, Sharon Horgan, and Tom Hall will also serve as directors.

And we dare say that Julia Louis-Dreyfus knows why.

The Veep actress will be honoured with the Kennedy Centre’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humour.

The award celebrates individuals who “have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th Century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, best known as Mark Twain,” according to the Centre.

Comedian Richard Pryor received the first prize in 1998, while last year’s recipient was David Letterman.

Several stars of comedy will salute Julia at gala dinner in her honour including the 57-year-old’s former co-star Jerry Seinfeld, Stephen Colbert, Bryan Cranston, and previous winner Tina Fey.

The laughs will be broadcast on the 9th of November.
