"How Tall Is Tina Fey?"

The Brilliant Petite Comedian Tina Fey is 5'4"

In 1997 Tina Fey submitted several scripts to Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels. She was hired as a writer and moved to New York. She went on to become SNL first female head writer.

In October 2006 NBC aired the pilot 30 Rock and Liz Lemon became history. The show won the 2007 Emmy and Tin Fey won the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award.

Perhaps what she is most well known for is her "freakishly spot-on impersonation of the wannabe VP Sarah Palin". She won an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her impersonation of Sarah Palin.

Tina's hilarious, uncanny caricature of Palin, mocking her interview "I can see Russia from my house!" became more well know that what Sarah Palin had actually said. When discussing the proximity of Alaska to Russia Palin offered "They're our next door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska".

Tina Fey then unleashed a second stab at Palin on SNL in a sketch with Amy Poehler. Spoofing the Katie Couric interview Fey used the nearly identical and devastating run on sentences as Palin had used.

The sketches quickly became the most-watched viral video ever for NBC.com.

Nothing else had done as much to shape the public's perception of Sarah Palin than Tina Fey's impersonation of her.

Tina Fey is one of the leading voices in a new generation of comediennes—women who not only play comic roles but also perform stand-up and write and direct comedy.
