,” follows a ‘90s girl group reuniting after 20 years to recapture their old magic. Along the way, the group discovers that some of the messages from their songs that were once culturally acceptable, are now very much not.
Fey sat down with longtime collaborators Meredith Scardino, Robert Carlock and Jeff Richmond on Friday night to talk about the recent premiere of their new comedy series. Busy Philipps, who plays Summer on “Girls5Eva,” moderated the conversation at the AT&T Terrace. “I definitely think that streaming has turned out to be better for comedy,” Fey said. “Not that we go that hard, but because people are choosing to come to you, you don’t have to make plain rice. You can make something that isn’t maybe for everybody, but it’s delicious.”
“There are many times at ‘Saturday Night Live’ where you get asked to do something and you’re like, ‘Wow, this is going to be deeply embarrassing,'” Fey said. “The one that comes to mind from ‘SNL’ was when we had to wear short trench coats and heels and dance behind Bernie Mac in the monologue. It didn’t make air. This felt like a Bernie Mac trench coat moment.”
