Tina Fey

Emmy Award winner Tina Fey (NBC's "Saturday Night Live," "Mean Girls") writes, executive-produces and stars as Liz Lemon in NBC’s "30 Rock," a workplace comedy where the workplace exists behind-the-scenes of a live variety show. The series is told through the comedic voice of Fey and features Alec Baldwin (The Aviator," "The Cooler") as Jack Donaghy, the brash new network executive who has turned the show upside down with his meddling ways.

The single Lemon is living every comedy writer's dream – head writer on a demanding, live TV program in New York City. Her life is jolted when Donaghy interferes with her show, and bullies Lemon into convincing Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan, "Saturday Night Live," "The Longest Yard") -- a wild and unpredictable movie star -- to join the cast. Now Lemon must manage the unmanageable so that the show – and her dream – can go on.

Fey recently completed her sixth season as head writer, cast member and co-anchor of the "Weekend Update" segment on NBC's "Saturday Night Live." An Emmy winner for her writing on "Saturday Night Live," Fey has been the head writer of the show since 1999 and first joined the writing staff in 1997. Since her transition to the front of the camera, Fey has won much acclaim -- including being named one of Entertainment Weekly's Entertainers of the Year, one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People, and, along with her fellow female castmates, one of Glamour's Women of the Year.

Fey expanded to feature films in Spring 2004 as both a screenwriter and an actress, opposite Lindsay Lohan in the hit comedy "Mean Girls," which she adapted from Rosalind Wiseman's non-fiction book "Queen Bees and Wannabees." Fey was nominated for a Writers Guild Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Fey is also currently developing a follow-up feature for Paramount: "Curly Oxide & Vic Thrill."
