Setting aside my personal dislike for Fey for a moment, does anyone else see the gaping chasm between the level of experience/longevity of the previous winners and Tina Fey? Like her if you absolutely must, but at least admit that she is outclassed amongst this group of names. I will grant you that as contemporary female sketch comedians (and maybe even writers) go, she is currently the top of the ranks, but I also believe that really isnt saying much. Furthermore, she falls sort of having proven that she'll be remembered 20, 30, 40, or 50 years later the way Martin, Cosby, Carlin, Pryor, Newhart and even Michaels will. That is not to say she won't one day achieve that level of recognition, but I just don't believe she is there yet. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
