Even on the walk over here, I was like, I am so tired of hearing from me. Surely everyone else is tired of hearing from the same people over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Throughout the course of her career, Fey helped create dozens of films and TV shows, including <em>Mean Girls, 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,<\/em> and the upcoming Netflix series <em>The Four Seasons<\/em>, debuting on May 1. Now, Fey straddles the line between championing fresher talent and being tapped to succeed a comedy giant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Case in point: In the interview, Fey dismissed the idea that she\u2019d ever return to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2021\/02\/golden-globes-2021-tina-fey-amy-poehler-monologue?srsltid=AfmBOorOaM_lz2P60KH-FakJrIQ6P9TlXqLe3gTJg0im4vB8rci11VVb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">host the Golden Globes<\/a>, instead praising its newest emcee, who will return for the second year in a row: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/story\/nikki-glaser-will-have-another-chance-to-slay-at-the-golden-globes-2026?srsltid=AfmBOoqfO-b4NclMNhRNKLjJjs7blW8xEuwywcMkLJvv46E28gCRmD9i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Nikki Glaser<\/strong> killed it<\/a> at the Globes, and she should keep that job forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">But when asked about <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> creator and producer <strong>Lorne Michaels<\/strong> saying that Fey, a former head writer for the NBC sketch series, \u201c<a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/media\/videos\/lorne-michaels-says-tina-fey-could-easily-be-his-snl-successor-exclusive-218001\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/media\/videos\/lorne-michaels-says-tina-fey-could-easily-be-his-snl-successor-exclusive-218001&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/media\/videos\/lorne-michaels-says-tina-fey-could-easily-be-his-snl-successor-exclusive-218001\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">could easily<\/a>\u201d take over for him, she replied, \u201cIt was nice of him to say that, and I love him very much,\u201d but \u201che\u2019s irreplaceable,\u201d adding, \u201cHis set of gifts and skills are entirely unique. His eye for talent! He\u2019s one of the last three people in show business who actually understand everything. I\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Recently, Fey has proven to be a voice of reason, notably publicizing her \u201cproblem with rich people having a side hustle\u201d during an appearance on friend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lXpsfq4wx70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Amy Poehler<\/strong>\u2019s podcast<\/a>. Instead of securing another stream of income outside of show-biz, say a haircare or eyewear line, Fey previously said that feeling \u201csafe\u201d and having \u201cenough money to live\u201d was all she required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And when the time comes to step out of the spotlight, Fey is happy to do so. \u201cPeople who know me have said, \u2018You wouldn\u2019t be able to retire. You\u2019d be so unhappy,\u2019\u201d she told <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cWrong! I\u2019d still be busy all the time.
