Intelligent. I like that a lot of the comments are about how smart she is. The woman is a pioneer and badass. Her humor is sophisticated. She sticks by her opinions and flat out says them. Props cause she's flat out talented.

Get off your soap box. She's a twat

[@silversrayleigh8980]

@@PlaceForAnEcho I appreciate your level headedness. But tell me honestly, does she deserve this award? at age 40 something ? Or is it a media/hollywood feminist power play? Who knows, but it feels fishy.

This is a pretty good representation of why Tina Fey is in my top five people ever. It's not an objective list, its just those who's work or life put a genuine smile on my face. She's incredible, and it's great that she got this recognition.

Hollywood is stupid when it comes to racism. Do these fools no realize there's 20 worse things than racism. Not to mentin racism towards black ppl are is very minor. They should get their heads out of their asses and realize most of the racism in this country is directed towards white pple

[@GraeHall]

God damn the "100 years from now" line was great.

[@antourte1]

+Grae “seven” Hall Little did she know then she would soon go on to write a white woman as a Lakota indian, leading many to say, no seriously Tina, that's kind of racist.

[@GraeHall]

antourte1 I loved season 2, because the one man show put on by Titus really nails it. A black guy playing a Japanese female character, "leading many to say, no seriously ... that's kind of racist". That being the point, then through the power of the performance by Titus that stupid gotcha bullshit falls away. And a story is appreciated for what it is. So yeah, you can be part of the group saying "that's kind of racist" protesting Titus', I mean Tina's show. Or you can get the fuck over it and judge it for the story it tells and how it tells it.

[@antourte1]

+Grae “seven” Hall You seem a little irked, so I guess I'll just say I was not among those thinking it was racist. (Although I did think that plotline was more awkward and less funny than it could've been.)

If you think this shit is funny, you need to learn to read, so you can expose yourself to real humour--like that of the great Mark Twain himself.

[@wylier]

@@fredhubbard7210 Mark Twain may have used mild humor, but for the most part his works aren't real knee-slappers. Secondly, he is long-deceased. Lots of currently popular artists are simply current (as in making art that is easily accessible to the culture at large, not something you have to go to a library to find).

[@tomitstube]

never has anyone been more deserving of this award. tina is in a class with george carlin and richard pryor. a lot of the comedians selected aren't even political, and of course we all know that mark twain was fiercely political, and the idea that robin williams, dave chappelle, or chris rock aren't in this club should piss you off.

[@NickHunter]

losing Williams was an absolute travesty to humanity

[@godiegolem]

I have no clue why Robin was never selected, but Dave and Chris have theirs now. And to be quite honest, Tina Fey has been more hard working than either of those guys (Dave is my favorite of all time by the way). She is undeniably a genius, the numbers she put up for SNL and 30 Rock ALONE prove that. You simply don't get to be a head writer at SNL for 7 years (most successful of modern years as far as I know, too). Or have a show running for 7 seasons on a major network just because she's a woman. You may not find her speech funny, but the fact that all these legendary pillars of comedy call her a genius while "tomitstube" calls her undeserving, well let's just say I'll go with Steve Martin and Co.
