Overview
- Tina Fey, 56, told Today that getting older feels like a “reverse puberty,” joking that where teens are oily, older bodies become “papery.”
- She said the joke grew out of conversations with her writers and that they encouraged her to write about their common experiences.
- Fey told interviewers she is curious about other forms of writing, naming plays and prose as interests she might pursue next.
- The remarks did not include any announcement of new projects or plans to retire and were presented as personal reflection rather than industry news.
- The comments fit a longer pattern in which Fey, known for Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, has discussed scaling back and helping new voices enter TV and film.
