Tina Fey Lies To Her Kids About 'Stupid' Sketches She Wrote For 'SNL'

Tina Fey knows that not every Saturday Night Live sketch can be a hit, even the ones she wrote.

The Baby Mama star recently stopped by The Kelly Clarkson Show where she hilariously revealed that she has no problem lying to her kids about the sketches she wrote on SNL that have not stood the test of time, per People.

Speaking with host Kelly Clarkson and fellow SNL alum Will Forte, Fey explained that her daughters Alice, 19, and Athena, 13, who she shares with husband Jeff Richmond, aren't always impressed with some the past sketches they see, and she is quick to agree — even if she was the writer behind the idea.

"I have so many ones that aired that I wish had not," she said. "On Peacock, they show old, random-ordered sketches from SNL... Sometimes ones have come up that my kids are like, 'What is this?' And I fully wrote it, and I'm like, 'I don't know. That's so stupid, right?'"

Fey was hired on as a writer at SNL in 1997 and was promoted to head writer in 1999. The following year, she began appearing as a cast member and in the "Weekend Update" segment alongside first Jimmy Fallon and then Amy Poehler until Fey left the show in 2006.

Fey and Poehler recently reunited on the latter's Good Hang podcast where Fey revealed why she has a "problem" with certain "rich people."
