Tina Fey is sick and tired of the "are women funny" questions
Interviewers, you've been warned: Think of something else to talk about with Tina Fey besides women being funny, because she's had it.
"Amy [Poehler] and I just did two months of press for 'Sisters,' and journalists were still bringing up, 'People say women aren't funny,'" she tells Town & Country. "The next time I'm at a press junket and someone says that, I have to remember to say, 'We need to stop talking about whether women are funny. And we need to acknowledge that black people are funnier than white people. Let's discuss that.'"
That's not all that's been bugging Fey about the nature of questions she's been getting, though.
"Every single interviewer asked, 'Isn't this an amazing time for women in comedy?'" Fey said. "People really wanted us to be openly grateful -- 'Thank you so much!' -- and we were like, 'No, it's a terrible time. If you were to really look at it, the boys are still getting more money for a lot of garbage, while the ladies are hustling and doing amazing work for less.'"
