Step Aside Gayle
Some of you may know that your Trash Talkers also used to write a blog called Watching 30 Rock about our favorite TV show and our favorite TV actress and writer, Tina Fey. We had to give that blog up, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care about that news anymore. And so when we saw this info on E! we got really excited:
Dreams really do come true, and don’t let anyone tell you differently!
Just two weeks ago, while discussing some dream casting options for her NBC comedy 30 Rock, Tina Fey told reporters, “I still want Oprah to play my best friend…and I don’t know what I need to do to make that happen.”Well, as of today, it might happen. Chicagoland sources who were at the taping of The Oprah Show starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for Baby Mama just wrote in to tell us this fantastic news:
According to members of the live audience, during a commercial break, Oprah said she had heard Tina wanted to be her best friend and asked whether Tina meant in real life or on the show. When Tina said “both!” Oprah said, “Have your people call my people.”
Oprah then said that she was “definitely interested” and would love to appear on the show, to which Tina gestured to the people in the audience, to the effect of “You heard it!”
Personally I think Oprah would make an excellent guest star on 30 Rock. She did so on the famous “Puppy Episode” of Ellen DeGeneres’ sitcom, playing Ellen’s therapist when she came out. And if she played Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey’s character) that would be really cool. And if she played Liz’s best friend Oprah Winfrey then that would be freakin’ awesome. Go for it, Oprah!
