Tina Fey Accepts Mark Twain Prize for American Humor

Posted on November 9, 2010

Congratulations to Tina Fey for winning the 13th annual Mark Twain prize for American Humor: she accepts her prize this evening in a ceremony that will be broadcast later. She is only the third woman to receive the prize, and is the youngest recipient. From screenwriting (Mean Girls) to improv to creating, writing and starring in the hit tv show 30 Rock, Tina has achieved great things. In this video, Tina takes fan questions for PBS about the differences between writing sketches and feature films, who she finds funny and whether she prefers cake or pie. Take a look:
