The former "Weekend Update" anchor who was this week's guest on "David Tennant Does a Podcast With," said she's' "glad" she's no longer on "SNL" given the increased demands the current news environment has put on the show's writers. "I feel relieved," said Fey, who served as head writer from 1999 to 2006. "The culture is so ugly and the political climate is so ugly. You'd have Bush Sr. come do a thing with Dana Carvey ... It's so truly ugly now." Richmond saw the physical resemblance, though she begged to differ. Fey recalled, "My husband said, 'She looks like you.'

It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! SNL is colluding with NBC News and the Democrats to make Trump break the law and say stupid stuff on Twitter!
