It's true. Tina is the best choice to replace Lorne Michaels.

[@jenifersarver761]

soooo many other choices. I think Amy would make a better choice if you want a woman but if you could convince Seth to leave his show, he'd be the best

[@DavidKen878]

​@@jenifersarver761 I don’t know which Amy you’re referring to, but not only has Tina starred in the SNL for six years, she spent seven years as the show’s head writer. Saying another woman would make a better choice over her is pure delusion.

[@jenifersarver761]

It's really OK to have different opinions. Calling people names is not. If you're Tina's husband, fine, otherwise, I really don't think either of our opinions matters. And It's Amy Poehler who I think would be better. Kate McKinnon as well, though I doubt she wants the job. Tina has two daughters (well, you would know if you are her secret husband, the only reason for your ugliness) and I doubt would want the hours. There's no reason to make yourself ugly just because you have a thought. @@DavidKen878

Awesome for the actress Tina Fey!

[@kennethellingsen5902]

You go Glenn Coco!

[@Zoe-c9z]

I think they should do a mean girls vs Barbie monologue on SNL soon😅 ('you're welcome') for the idea. Romani/armani

[@LM-ch8rh]

[@klu5301]

Congrats Tina! The movie was great!!

[@LynnFlatley]

Are they wearing identical fushia trousers?

[@Zoe-c9z]

Mars bars

[@kevinhardy8997]

"was"? haha. Mean Girls

[@cindysnyder3177]

She’s still a dork

[@corncat]

*ugh* More desperate re-capitalization of existing Intellectual Properties

[@nottobebelieved8608]

Was?

[@WweFan93x]

This new mean girls film feels forced. Tina and The new cady didnt have the same relationship as the first movie which was important part of the movie.

[@steve19811]

New movie sucked. Filled with way more politicized language and woke b.s. where the original was way more realistic with how kids actually talk and behave. She even admits she had to "fix things up" because the 5% woke crowd wouldn't approve.....

[@pinkgirl5041]

So you hated the entire movie because they didn’t use slurs? 😂

[@steve19811]

Yes, and all the racial humor, which is funny, was gone..... People say the same things 20 years ago just behind peoples back and on the DL. Kids are still brutal and still use slurs. Deal with it. @@pinkgirl5041
