Tina Fey is on a roll: her show 30 Rock has won an armload of Emmy Awards, her impersonation of Sarah Palin has been universally lauded, and now Fey has signed a book deal rumoured to be worth as much as $6 million.
Saturday Night Live alum Tina Fey – whose NBC show, 30 Rock, just scored four Emmys – has signed a book deal with Little, Brown Book Group, the Associated Press reported Monday.
There is no official word on how much Fey will be pocketing for her work – pitched as more humor than memoir. But earlier this week, the New York Post reported that competing publishers were offering close to $6 million.

She is definitely on a roll. SNL hasn't been this funny since the glory years with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler. Her Palin is hysterical.

Am so in agreement with that!

Jarrett Martineau, I like this story. It's good stuff. At least something is making us laugh these days.

I thought he impersonation was so dead on and so funny, that I had to make this screen capture from the NBC sketch and blog about it. Want a real laugh? Watch the real Katie Couric interview before the SNL sketch and try to find the differences. There aren't many!
