  TINAFEYdotNET: The Internet's first Tina Fey source
Fey is currently appearing on the small screen in 30 Rock, the NBC sitcom she created about a comic who stars in a late-night sketch show.
Tina Fey is quitting "Saturday Night Live" to star in NBC's new "30 Rock," a comedy set behind the scenes at an "SNL"-ish studio -- where nimble wit coexists with broad humor and flatulent punch lines.
Fey, 36, also is a producer and writer for "30 Rock." She's a mommy, too, who right in the middle of chatting up a reporter spies a child on the shoulder of a stranger.

In conversation, Fey is engaging, clever and nice, though -- for a comedienne -- she seems unexpectedly low-key and reflective.
The fact is, Fey, now 36, came from an improv-comedy background to join the "SNL" fold in 1997 but, for her last six seasons, combined her star turn as bespectacled "Weekend Update" anchor with the off-camera job of head writer.
