-Are they interested in getting into the business,
your daughter? -Yeah, I think both of them --
like, they're interested in filmmaking,
which is pretty cool.
Like, I would love for them to grow up to be, you know,
directors or writers or something.
They love to -- They're so far apart in age.
They're six years apart.
So one of the few things that they will do together is, like,
make iMovies and stuff.
And there was a really good older sister moment
the other week because the little one was like,
"I want to make a movie. And I want to make another movie."
And she gets to be the actress
and the older one gets to be the director,
so everyone's kind of happy. -Yeah.
-And so she was making a bunch movies with her little sister,
and then Penelope wanted to keep doing it,
And Alice was like, "I don't want to do it anymore."
And I was like, "Just -- just do it a little bit more."
So she did what I thought was like a perfect big sister move
that she convinced her little sister they could not make
any more iMovies until she sat down and watched all of
the Samuel L. Jackson master class on acting.
[ Laughter ]
-Genius.
-It's like a 6-year-old just like in a full tutu,
like, ready to shoot. [ Laughter ]
Just watching and it really has informed her acting quite a bit.
-It really has. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah. -Samuel L. Jackson, yeah.
-I did bring one of their films because I just think --
I think they're visionaries. -Wow.
-If you have time to show it. -I mean, absolutely.
We do this as a debut.
-Yeah, this is the debut.
This is, like, technically part of
the Tribeca Film Festival, I guess? No.
-It's in the same time frame.
Yeah, it has nothing to do with it at all.
[ Laughter ]
It's in the same city. -Yeah.
-This is a film they made that --
This is the younger one wrote, conceived this,
wrote and directed it and the older one was kind of the D.P.
-Wow. -So, I don't know.
-Here is world premier of "Butt Show,"
by Tina Fey's daughters, Alice and Penelope.
Check it out.

[ Cheers and applause ]
-I mean, fantastic.
They're very, very, very creative kids.
-They sold it to Netflix. [ Laughter ]
We make 100 episodes.
-I saw you at the "Mean Girls" premiere.
First of all, the opening night, look at this playbill.
Dude, you're on a playbill.
-I'm in a playbill! -I mean, how cool is that?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Very exciting for me.
-How was opening night for you, honestly?
Was it emotional? -Opening night was so emotional.
I kept saying I felt like it was my wedding, right,
because, like, my whole family was there.
And my best friend from high school,
and, like, everyone I've --
I felt, like, thank you for coming, like, even if they came.
Everyone who was so meaningful to me.
Like, all my friends came.
I sat, like, between Martin Short and Andrea Martin,
which are, like, comedy idols of mine watching this thing we did.
Also, it was really funny because they --
I could tell by the way they were laughing at certain jokes,
I was like, "Oh, they've never seen the movie."
[ Laughter ]
"That's fine. That's fine."
-These two are laughing, yeah. -It was crazy, yeah.
-The audience was going nuts.
I mean, is it "Means Girls" fans that are coming or is there...?
-We have, like, a very distinct, different kinds of audiences.
The good thing is I feel like if you've never seen the movie,
you will still enjoy the show.
Like, we felt that was important to make it that way.
So we have, like, regular theater community that come
and they enjoy it.
We get a lot of moms and daughters of different ages.
Like, you get, like, a 20-year-old and her mom.
It's, like, really cute.
And then some nights we just have ladies
who are ready to get their drink on.
[ Laughter ]
-That's what I'm talking about.
-At, like, Wednesday matinee.
Whoo! Because Wednesdays we wear pink.
We have already at the August Wilson Theatre,
I'm very proud to say that
we have already broken a bar record.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Nice! -Yeah.
-Ladies who drink.
-Yeah, and that's the "Jersey Boys" theater so, like,
that's a bar record.
-Yeah, I mean, that's amazing, right.
-So take that Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women."
[ Laughter ] -Oh, my God!
-I mean, that's -- I mean, it is a --
What a cast by the way and you'll see them tonight.
They're so talented, I mean.
I'd say, I mean, Broadway just blows me away.
But these kids are just amazing.
But it's funny. It's smart.
It has a good message and great songs.
Your husband, Jeff Richmond, wrote the music.
-Broadway composer Jeff Richmond.
-Yes! -That's correct.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, explain this to me.
This comes out, and you can preorder it now.
-Yeah. Okay.
So this is -- thank you for asking me because this is so --
you can preorder the album on iTunes now.
I think what happened was -- because we're new at this,
we set up the preorder and then we were like,
"Oh, wait, we actually have more.
Let's add a couple more tracks."
So then we added some extra content,
which accidently canceled all the preorders that we had.
So... [ Laughter ]
-Oh, my God. -Show-biz genius.
-You're clearly a first timer then.
-First time record producers.
So if you preordered it,
could you go back and click on it again?
[ Laughter ]
You will not be charged twice.
-Yes. And you'll get those extra tracks.
-Yeah. And then there's a track
that you can get tonight, too, later.
-Tonight? Oh, my -- "I'd Rather Be Me."
And this is -- the actress is singing --
-Barrett Wilbert Weed. She's gonna come out later.
-Barrett is unbelievable.
-Y'all know Barrett. -She plays Janis in the play.
And this is one of the scene-stealing songs.
It's just fantastic. I love it. It's fantastic.
