BEEN DENIED.
>> STAY IN YOUR LANE.
YOU WOULDN'T LAST A DAY AS
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER.

WHY ARE THE LIGHTS DIMMING?
♪[SINGING]
>> OH, YOU TOL YOUR MOTHER
ABOUT US NOT KISSING.
>> NO YOU DIDN'T.

>> NO, BUT THE CONTROL ROOM
LOOKS LIKE THE SET, SO IT LOOKS
LIKE THE REAL THING.
>> Tati: AS A VIEWER AND SEEING
YOUR SETUP, IT'S ABSOLUTELY
LEGIT.
IT.
HE'S GOT A LOT TO PROVE.
>> AND HIS FAMILY OWNED THE
COMPANY, SO HE FILLS THIS NEED
RUNNING THIS COMPANY.
AND HE ISN'T REALLY, BECAUSE
HE'S NOT VERY GOOD AT IT.
IT'S A TOUGH JOB FOR HIM, AND
HE'S SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO HE
CAN'T CONTROL, LIKE ANCHORS WHO
AREN'T VERY GOOD AT THEIR JOBS
WHINEY.
AND THIS YEAR, TINA FEY IS ON
THE SHOW, SO SHE COMES IN AS THE
HEAD BOSS AND MAKES GREG'S LIFE
EVEN HARDER.
>> Tati: YOU'VE GOT JOHN MICHAEL
FEY.
INCREDIBLE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ON THE CAST,
IT'S AMAZING!
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS FUNNY, IT
MAKES FOR A GREAT WORKPLACE.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS JOKING AROUND
AND MAKING FUN OF ME.
MY HEIGHT, MY ACCENT, MY HAIR.

ARE QUITE HURTFUL.
>> ALL IN GOOD FUN.
>> YEAH.
>> Tati: WATCHING YOU GUYS, I
IMAGINE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT
TIME ONSET.
>> IT IS.
WE ALL FEEL HUGELY APPRECIATIVE
FOR IT.
WHEN WE WATCH IT BACK, OH, THIS
IS A FANTASTIC FUNNY SHOW, SO WE
FEEL FORTUNATE TO BE IN IT.
>> Tati: TELL ME WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE DOING COMEDY INSTEAD OF
DONE.
>> THE DIFFICULTY, BECAUSE IT'S
FROM THE PRODUCERS OF "30 ROCK,"
THE JOKES ARE FAST AND QUICK.
THE DIFFICULTY IS KNOWING THE
LINES WELL ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO
SAY THEM QUICKLY AND THERE'S
LIKE A JOKE EVERY SECOND IT
FEELS LIKE THAT.
THERE ARE SO MANY JOKES, YOU
DON'T GET THE FIRST TIME.
JOKES.
SO THE HARD THING IS TO GET IT
RIGHT.
YOU DESPERATELY WANT TO DO THE
WORDS JUSTICE.
>> Tati: ABSOLUTELY.
VANITY FAIR SAID IT'S THE "30
ROCK" SUCCESSOR THAT WE'VE ALL
BE WAITING FOR.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO HEAR
THOSE WORDS?
>> IT WAS REALLY ENCOURAGING TO
READ FOR THIS SEASON.
I THINK PEOPLE INEVITABLY WILL
COMPARE TO IT "30 ROCK" BECAUSE
OF TINA FEY'S CONNECTION TO IT.

ISSUE.
CHUCK IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP
WITH THE MODERN TIMES.
AND PORSCHE IS SUPER WITH IT.
SO IT'S SIMILAR TO "30 ROCK" IN
TERMS OF THE SPEED OF THE JOKES,
BUT THE CONTENT IS QUITE
DIFFERENT.
ONSET?
>> PROBABLY NICOLE RICHIE.
SHE'S WICKED, IN A GOOD WAY.
SHE'S NOT EVIL.
BUT SHE LIKES TO PLAY TRICKS AND
JOKE AROUND AND SHE'S AWESOME

NOT UNITED STATES WICKED?
>> YEAH.
>> Tati: THURSDAY AT 9:30 ON
MAKE TIME FOR IT.
