Ms. Fey was born in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, a township just outside of Philadelphia and was exposed to comedy early. She recalls:

“I remember my parents sneaking me in to see Young Frankenstein. We would also watch ‘Saturday Night Live,’ or Monty Python, or old Marx Brothers movies. My dad would let us stay up late to watch The Honeymooners. We were not allowed to watch “The Flintstones” though: my dad hated it because it ripped off The Honeymooners. I actually have a very low level of Flintstones knowledge for someone my age.”
