It’s all the more satisfying, then, that she has become not just a swan (whose cheekbones were, as she puts it, discovered “by a team of gay excavators”) but a swan who created, produces and stars in her own show. Sure, she appears on magazine covers, but how awesome is it that her appearance on, say, the front of Vogue is a byproduct of her success rather than the pinnacle of it?
Routinely, she works 14-hour days at “30 Rock,” after which the writers follow her home to her apartment to keep working into the wee hours.
During a single weekend in September 2008, Ms. Fey spent all day Saturday shooting the episode of “30 Rock” with Oprah; following the shoot, Ms. Fey went directly to the “S.N.L.” studio for that night’s show, in which she played Sarah Palin for the first time; and on Sunday, Ms. Fey hosted her daughter’s third birthday party.
the Oprah episode of “30 Rock” was really funny. That episode is also, as I learned in “Bossypants,” an illustration of the pitfalls of seeing the world only through the lens of gender, even for those of us who regularly enjoy working ourselves into a self-righteous feminist lather.
