MSN has just posted my essay comparing and contrasting the careers of Tina Fey and Sarah Silverman. As I point out, “30 Rock was created by Tina Fey, drawing on her experiences as head writer at Saturday Night Live. But 30 Rock isn’t the only comedy show on TV created by the woman who also stars in it. The Sarah Silverman Program is also in its second season, though it comes in shorter bursts (the first season was six episodes, while the second is slated for 14). But despite their broad similarities, the two shows couldn’t be more different; even their nominal similarities point to subtle contrasts. Indeed, Fey and Silverman thrive at opposing ends of the comedy spectrum.” I go on to list these numerous differences and similarities.
