Tina Fey interview: Sarah Palin in her sights

One day Tina Fey was an actress in a little-seen television sitcom, worshipped by an ardent cult following but mainly ignored by mainstream audiences.

The next, thanks to a hilariously dead-on impersonation of US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, she was a YouTube sensation, a political lightning rod and the nemesis of the Republican Party.

Oh yes, she was also finally recognised as a writer and actress who possesses those all-too-rare triple attributes of brains, humour and sexiness.

Now 30 Rock, the television series she created and stars in as the frantic, brittle and endearing TV producer Liz Lemon, has just been renewed for its fifth season and she has a new movie, Date Night, in which she stars with Steve Carell, coming out soon.

But her Palin impression, which made its debut on the satirical comedy show Saturday Night Live last September and continued during the run-up to the U.S election, has not been abandoned.

“I haven’t been watching her on television lately because I’ve been working on 30 Rock, but I’m doing another Saturday Night Live next month and I’m sure we’ll be trying to write something about her,” she said when we meet.
