Tina Fey answers the last ‘Ask Tina’ question

“This absolutely should have been 12 episodes, so people could say, “That show was amazing. I can’t believe it was canceled.” The fact that we got far enough along that those same people can now say, “It’s not good anymore” is a triumph in itself.”

- Tina Fey

Lemon, there is a word, a once special word that’s been tragically co-opted by the romance industrial complex and I would hate to use it here and have you think that I am suggesting any type of romantic sentiment, let alone an invitation to scale bone mountain.
It’s a word that comes to us by way of the old high German luba from the latin lubera meaning “to be pleasing”. So, I’m going to use this word to describe how I feel about you in the way that our angalosaxin forefathers would have used it in reference to say…. “hot bowl of bear meet” or “your enemies skull, split”.

I love you too, Jack.

“I guess there’s a reason people don’t say honest goodbyes. Because when stuff is coming to an end, people freak out, and they act crazy.”

On Wednesday night, Tina finished shooting and asked me to print out the existing version of Liz Lemon’s final scene with Tracy, which includes a nod to the pilot episode. A short time later, she came back with handwritten changes, some really beautiful dialogue — touching, honest, and perhaps reflective of Tina and Tracy’s actual relationship, yet still 30 Rock–funny. She then stayed in the room for the end of the rewrite and for the “ceremony” of checking the final scene number on the whiteboard. It was the first real instance of “this is the last time we’ll do this.” (x)
