Comments on: Tina Fey wasn’t saying The Daily Show isn’t funny (not that she’d be all that wrong if she was)

Fey made that McCain comment as Liz Lemon in an episode of 30 Rock. I can’t remember the episode but I think she said it to Jason Sudeikis’s Floyd character, which would put it mid- to late-Season One. I thought it was hilarious at the time because I bet a lot of people think the same way, but I wondered if it reflected at all how Fey thinks. My guess is somewhere between definitely and definitely not.

There are also a lot of people – smart people in the media – who give WAY too much importance to SNL and the Daily Show. They’re still comedy shows, right? Are there really any adults who would decide their vote because of what Tina Fey or Jon Stewart have to say? I doubt it. Fey also said once that she would tell everyone that she was voting for Obama but secretly vote for McCain! So apparently, she’s involved in her own private conspiracy.

What’s funny is that people that have been watching Tina Fey since the beginning on snl know that she loves the daily show and watched it growing up, so when this got out of control I just wanted to scream IDIOTS! at everyone for making such a big deal at a simple joke. Same thing with the Hilarly Clinton thing on SNL during update it’s called Satire! Doesn’t mean she supports her it was all just satire!
