Tina Fey Scar Detective

Andy Samberg, the Saturday Night Live jokester du jour, is just about ready to roll out his first movie ("Hot Rod") and in the process he's giving plenty of interviews.

UnderGroundOnline ran their piece of Samberg's public relations junket recently. It's the usual stuff, for the most part, but it does include one Tina Fey reference. That's enough to earn it a commentary here at "The Tina Fey Scar Detective".

When discussing the butterflies in his gut during the SNL audition process, Samberg mentioned that having Tina chuckle at his work provided some much-needed confidence.

"I could hear Tina Fey laughing and some other people were laughing. I thought, "Cool!" It gives you confidence. Then they said they wanted to see me again a few weeks later. I came in and again got a few laughs, but the whole time, it's like doing a crappy stand-up gig at some hole in the wall. It's like, "Okay, let's get through this. I know these bits, so let's get through them." I'm told that when I did "out-of-breath jogger," which was the last thing I did, that Lorne laughed at that. You'd have to ask him to confirm whether he did or didn't."

That's the only Fey-related bit of the piece, but it is worth a read if you want a little insight on Samberg. You can read the whole thing here.
