Okay, we’ll get this out of the way to start: I would read/watch anything Tina Fey writes, ever, pretty much. So I was pretty much guaranteed to like this book, which I did. Pretty much what you’d expect — memoir with a bunch of jokes and self-deprecating humor. Great stuff. Will leave you with a trio of gems from the book:

First:

“That feeling of ‘I’m pretty sure this next step is wrong, but I’m just gonna do it anyway’ is part of the same set of instincts that makes me such a great cook.”

And:

“Saturday Night Live runs on a combustion engine of ambition and disappointment.”

Then:

“…when Oprah Winfrey is suggesting you may have overextended yourself, you need to examine your fucking life.”

So good.
