Amy Poehler and Tina Fey Cover ‘Entertainment Weekly’
The dynamic duo are at it again.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler cover the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.
The pair are gearing up to host the 2014 Golden Globes on Jan. 12 and they’ve got a lot to say.
Amy on why she and Tina are like The Olsen twins:
“When we’re next to each other we like to hug each other a lot, like we’re in the womb. And Tina’s thumbprint matches my pinkie, because that’s what we were like in the womb.”
Tina on the same Olsen twins theory:
“But I do say the Olsen twins because unlike a lot of comedy duos, we’re not opposites. There’s a lot of overlap in what we like and even in the way we perform, to a certain extent. We’re not Martin and Lewis. We’re like Derek Jeter and A-Rod.”
Amy on her Golden Globes plans:
“We’re going to encourage people to go real long on their speeches.”
Tina on her Golden Globes plans:
“I’m going to tell people to find it. Don’t stop talking until you ‘find it.'”
Amy on who they’d want on stage with them at the show:
“I feel like we’d probably pick an SNL person because we feel comfortable knowing that they could hang. But who knows? Maybe we give that kid Jennifer Lawrence, who I find a total delight.”
“She was hilarious on ‘The Daily Show. Honestly, almost every person we’ve ever worked with, I feel like we’d be super-psyched to see.”
