Tina Fey reveals her most awkward moment on ‘SNL'

Tina Fey, an American comedian, opened up about her experiences on Saturday Night Life on the docuseries, SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night.

Fey revealed that she was taken aback by the competitive culture on the show, "Even though everyone at SNL is working together to make one thing, no though. It is built on competition. It is built for like, ‘See you at the table.’”

She continued, "I have to say as head writer, I came in from Chicago and I was ready to fight whoever but the rewrite tables were tough. They were grouchy.”

"People would take the rundown of the show and just go sketch by sketch and make fun of it, like the title and make fun of it, goof on it, goof on it, goof on it. You would leave the room fully knowing that that writers' room was taking a s--- on it while you were gone, and that’s just kind of the way it was,” the comedian added.

However, that was not the only surprise for her when she first joined, “I think possibly my first week as a writer, Sylvester Stallone [hosted] and a note came back that was, ‘Tell him he needs to enunciate more. We can’t understand him.’ And then the writer that I was working with, he was more experienced, and he’s like ‘Okay, you go do it.'”

Calling it a “great trial by fire”, she added, "Mr. Stallone was very nice about it. Clearly not the first time in his life he had received that note."

Tina Fey originally became a part of Saturday Night Live in 2000 and ended up leaving a few years later in 2006. Since then, she has made her way back many times as a host.
