Nicola Coughlan, Michael Cera and Graham Norton Crash Tina Fey’s ‘SNL U.K.’ Monologue to Ask Why an American Is Hosting: ‘How Do I Put This Politely … None of You F—ers Would Do It’
Nicola Coughlan, Michael Cera and Graham Norton Crash Tina Fey’s ‘SNL U.K.’ Monologue to Ask Why an American Is Hosting: ‘How Do I Put This Politely … None of You F—ers Would Do It’
>As she herself noted on Saturday’s inaugural show, she was now “the youngest person ever to host ‘SNL U.K.’,” to cheers from the live audience. “Here in the U.K., you might know me as the teacher from ‘Mean Girls,’ or you might remember a long time ago when I played Sarah Palin on ‘SNL’ U.S., or maybe you feel like you recognize me as the lady from the show ‘Veep,’ and that’s fine too.”
*I guess I didn’t consider that a lot of Fey’s work might not have broken out across the pond. But they had to have seen 30 Rock right?

> Fey then dipped a comedic toe into current political waters when she looked to answer “why do a U.K. version” of “SNL”?
> “Well, like so many large scale American operations these days, no one really knows why,” she said.
> It was then up to a series of celebrity guests to crash Fey’s monologue, including Nicola Coughlan, Michael Cera and Graham Norton. Asked by Coughlan why an American was hosting the debut “SNL U.K.” rather than a Brit, Fey said that it was valid question.
> “The way it was explained to me was that for this first episode, anyway, how do I put this politely, none of you fuckers would do it. Does that make sense?”
