Tina Fey’s Emmy Night
Isn’t it just like Tina Fey to have something go haywire on the night she’s recognized for her many talents?
“If anyone’s seen my purse,” Fey announced to reporters backstage after winning three Emmys, “I left it under my seat.”
It might have been the first thing the “30 Rock” mastermind did wrong all night after picking up trophies for outstanding comedy writing, comedy series and lead actress in a comedy.
When prodded by reporters, she humbly dodged praise and questions about her contributions.
“I think our cast is diverse and talented,” she said in one breath.
“We’ve had the greatest guest stars,” she said in another.
“Alec (Baldwin) elevates the show to another level with his abilities,” she said.
She even shrugged off her resemblance to Gov. Sarah Palin, whom she won raves for portraying on the season premiere of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”
