Fey again returned to "Saturday Night Live" for its 2008 season premiere episode, which aired September 13. Fey impersonated Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, with "Saturday Night Live" cast member Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Their banter quickly became NBC’s most-watched viral video ever, with 5.7 million. Fey again returned to "Saturday Night Live" to impersonate Palin in a parody of the CBS interview with Katie Couric and for a parody of the vice presidential debate.
Entertainment Weekly magazine sums up Fey’s mass appeal, "Forthright yet inclusive, tough yet effortlessly feminine, an alumna of SNL and the creator of a brilliant hit network sitcom, she has the means to affect our nation's political discourse with a waggle of her trademark brainy-babe eyeglasses and one well-placed declaration."
People magazine most recently reported Fey signed a multi-million dollar book deal with Little, Brown Book Group. Reportedly, the book pitched was more humor than memoir.
Fey is married to composer Jeff Richmond, whom she met at Chicago’s famed Second City. Richmond and Fey have a daughter, Alice and live in New York City. Fey is a committed environmentalist devoted to recycling and driving hybrid vehicles.
