Why are you not watching 30 Rock?

Yes, of course, I've read MoDo's Vanity Fair profile of Tina Fey. And seen the photos and watched the video. I had to do something to make up for not realizing until this week that Maura Tierney left ER.

Next to the part where Kenneth the Page says of Fey "she's just a looney bird," my favorite lines from Dowd are: She looks like a really pretty graduate student, and she has a soft voice and reserve that Matthew Broderick says cause people to "lean in to her." (Like Daisy Buchanan, except her voice is full of funny rather than money.)

Deep Gatsby cut. Across the entire piece, there's nothing that makes me like Fey less. It's too bad I like husband Jeff Richmond so much, for seeming to be a good guy and succeeding way, way out of his league.

    Just goes to show, when it's true love, "traditional" good looks don't mean a thing.

    "If you go to a karaoke bar with friends and do a duet of 'Endless Love,' and she insists on doing the Lionel Richie part if only so she can really belt out a big 'Ooh whoa' near the end, and when you’re done she announces you to the crowd as 'Miss Diana Ross, everybody,' and then gives you a high-five: She loves you." –Great 2005 essay from the TMN feed this morning

    I did like him on 30 Rock last night. He was smoother and more telegenic than expected. I tip my hat.
