The sketch so nice they cut it twice from SNL: Tina Fey salutes great women writers in history

Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney clued us in today that a sketch he'd written with Simon Rich and Marika Sawyer got "cut for time" last weekend with host Tina Fey.

But I recall being in the audience for the dress rehearsal of last season's SNL that Tina Fey hosted (with Justin Bieber) and distinctly remember seeing a sketch very much like this one done there, too. Unless I'm just having clairvoyant visions again. That could be true, too. I'm Nostradamus, y'all!

Either way, roll the clip in which great women writers throughout history get roasted.

  1. Jesus, this was hilarious, and the audience responded great in the video clip. This should have been on the show. And Tina clearly loves this piece so I don’t know why she wouldn’t push for it as host!
