Tina Fey is a very intelligent and funny actress. Not to mention a talented writer. As writer/producer/star of 30 Rock she’s proven that she’s a Hollywood powerhouse. According to The New York Times, she will be the first host of the post-strike Saturday Night Live:

The first show back on the air since the strike by the Writers Guild of America was expected to end on Tuesday, after three months, will probably be the NBC series “Saturday Night Live,” which returns on Feb. 23. (Tina Fey will be the host that night; Ellen Page of the film “Juno” is committed for March 1.) That NBC late-night production missed nine shows during the strike and will try to replace a number of those between now and May.

I love Fey, and greatly miss her from SNL both at the Update desk, as well as the writers’ room. In my opinion, SNL is usually best watched on Sunday morning via DVR, because there is usually only 20 good minutes to watch. But occasionally the guest host seems to improve the show, and Fey definitely has the potential to turn out a great show.
