| Emmy nominee Tina Fey, co-anchor of SNL�s �Weekend Update� segment, begins her second season as an on-air performer on �Saturday Night Live.� Along with co-anchor Jimmy Fallon, Fey has won much acclaim, for the revitalized �Update.� An �SNL� staff writer since 1997, Tina was named writing supervisor in 1999, making her the first female head writer in the show�s 25-year history. Recurring sketches Tina has penned include the biting satires of �The View� and the recurring �Sully and Denise� sketch featuring Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch as the Bostonian teens. Tina also served as head writer for the Emmy Award winning special �Saturday Night Live �The 25th Anniversary.� Tina and the writing staff of SNL were honored with a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Variety, Music or Comedy Program for the 2000-01 season. In the summer of 2000, Tina joined SNL castmate Rachel Dratch in a critically praised sketch comedy show �Dratch & Fey� at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City, dubbed �the funniest thing to be found on any New York comedy stage this summer� by Time Out New York.

Second City has also produced current cast members Rachel Dratch and Horatio Sanz as well as such famed SNL alums as John Belushi, Chris Farley and Bill Murray (among many others). Second City also hosted the first incarnation of �Dratch & Fey� in the summer of 1999.
