Tina Fey Says 'I Wish' I Could Join In on “Saturday Night Live's” Election Jokes

Anthony Behar/Bravo(LOS ANGELES) — Election season is underway and former Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey wishes she could get in on the jokes sure to come from her old NBC sketch comedy show.

Fey is particularly excited about what the show will say about Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy when it returns this fall.

“I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh boy…I wish,'” she said Tuesday at the Television Critics Association’s Summer TV Press Tour 2015. “I’m sure SNL wish[es] that they were on the air right now.”

“Yes, do I feel like next year at this time hopefully you’ll be doing a panel with just Darrell Hammond being giving a lifetime achievement award for whatever sketches come away,” she said, referring to the comedian known for impersonating Trump on SNL. “I mean it’s great for comedy. It’s great for comedy.”

During her stint on SNL, Fey famously portrayed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Fey was at the event to promote her Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. All 13 episodes are available now on Netflix.
