[@chimneysweep0754]

Tina Fey is a genius. The original Mean Girls is the best teen comedy of all time

[@barcelonachair6487]

You haven't seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High then? Cameron Crowe defined these teen films. I truly believed all Sean Penn needed in life was some tasty waves in addition to Madonna when they got married in the 80's.

[@logike77]

@@barcelonachair6487 Haha. Nice call. Miss Spicoli. There's also Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Dazed and Confused, etc. Kevin Smith also added to the trend...

[@JonDohertyagentTinaFey]

She’s an abundance of talent. She considered directing the film herself, but ultimately decided against it. I’ve been working for her over a decade and she’s amazing off camera too.

[@rogue8059]

"No not real, AI" 😭😭 but seriously Avantica is just so ridiculously gorgeous

[@whatsupunderthebed7755]

Saw the new Mean Girls in theaters the other night and it was WAY BETTER than I thought it would be! I love the original. It's iconic and nothing can touch it, but this new version has its own fun twists and I left really happy I saw it.

[@JonDohertyagentTinaFey]

Awesome! Tina Fey really put her efforts to bring back memories from the first Mean Girls. I’ve been working for her for the past decade and she’s amazing on and off camera.

[@learninganywhereanytime7521]

agreed. it was a different, fresh, more current take than the original.

[@steventambon2588]

I always love when Tina breaks out the delco/philly accent

[@reptilianoverlord418]

Can we replace this clown with a real host? These pathetic views compared to the other late-night shows should say it all. Get lost already.

[@doublefeature]

for real, as soon as she mentioned it, i was like pls say water pls say water. my fav bronx beat is when tina hosted and did her philly accent.

[@robinshorts2130]

Only she can remake her own movie...I love it

[@CorneliusCharles]

The original movie is so iconic. It's literally a pop culture phenomenon. I don't think they can ever come close to replicating it but I'm definitely going to see this new movie mostly for the nostalgia

[@MelissaM-lo5hi]

How can anyone not love these two buds together. Always such an easy, fun great time. Love it whenever they’re together. Wherever they’re at. Always a great time.👍🔥❤️🙏🏻

True friendship means having a strong bond with someone who accepts you for who you are, supports you, and is there for you through thick and thin. Glad they have each other, because Tina is a good soul.

I am literally bringing my mom to see Amy and Tina for her bday

You should do that. She’s an amazing soul on and off camera. I’ve been working for her over a decade now. We have tickets available on discount.

[@julieclark3768]

It makes me so happy to see Tina Fey in the public eye again!! It feels like it's been too long !! 🤔 It's like she was gone for a while and now that we're seeing her again it's like oh thank God 😊

[@JonDohertyagentTinaFey]

It was a much needed break I’m sure. She’s back and better now. I’ve worked with her over a decade and she’s great on and off camera.

[@crisfield4364]

I love Tina Fey. I love Amy Pohler. I love Tina Fey and Amy Pohler. ♥♥♥

[@JonDohertyagentTinaFey]

Tina and Amy have been friends for over 3 decades, they’re the definition of truth friendship. I’ve worked with Tina in the past decade, she’s amazing on and off camera. Look me up.

[@carorose5050]

They filmed Mean Girls in my old high school Mater Dei! Supposed to be pronounced “Mah-ter” too lol! It’s been bizarre watching the press and promotion - I was able to spot my locker and homeroom in the trailer lmao

[@bdp8102]

it's a miracle they didn't pronounce it "mother D" tbh 😅

[@JonDohertyagentTinaFey]

You’re right. The set of the movie was Mater Dei HS in Middletown NJ. What year did you pass out? I work with her, she’s amazing on and off camera.

[@stanleychen2394]

Wow I’m from Georgia and was a server in Savannah and a guest thought I was from up north by how I said water but they heard me say other words so high-fiving a million angels

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

Tina Fey appeared in the 2004 film Mean Girls as Sharon Norbury the math teacher who has been teaching the girls not to fight in the hallways because all the girls have gone wild. She was also in the 2020 film Mean Girls Reunion and the all-new 2024 film Mean Girls. Math teacher Sharon Norbury dated Principal Ron Duvall.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love tina fey and jimmy fallon

[@JonDohertyagentTinaFey]

As big fan of original mean girl cant wait to watch the musical

[@deborahrose8621]

For everyone blaming jokoy disappointment to a tough crowd to please( nominated actors) then I say go back and watch Tina and Amy host the Global Awards and tell me its the material and the crowd to blame. Every time they hosted the awards, they killed it! Why? They know how to entertain people and know how to perform to different venues I'm sure they're killing the Gen X Early bird. They know their audience and they write to those crowds.

[@barcelonachair6487]

It's sad that the audience can't laugh at the Philly jokes. At first they were uncomfortable, not realising she is from Philly. I am Canadian but I love regional accent humour, it is funny, we do speak differently and there is nothing wrong with finding humour in ourselves about something as benign as accents especially when they are done in great taste.

Why oh why do they refuse to market this movie as a musical? Even just now when Jimmy asked Tina what can we expect from the movie and she doesn't mention music! What has happened to Hollywood that they refuse to acknowledge musicals?

[@oliviac2585]

Same thing with Wonka- I imagine it's because musicals don't do well so they need to trick audiences into seeing them lol

[@jonasrichfield]

People prejudice against musicals and research shows that people don't even want to give it a try if they find out, plus, they're not lying, a musical is a movie just like any other, so they rather have people finding out when they watch it and they will eventually see that it's actually good.

[@throughthebookingglass4190]

i don’t think they should have tried to tone down the musicalness of it so much. like, changing the arrangements in songs and not including them in a lot of the marketing. i get that they were trying to appeal to a larger audience but i think that they ended up alienating fans of the musical AND exacerbating the annoyance of people who weren’t expecting it to be a musical and/or are precious about the original movie.
