She comes back and charms the hell out of me with this Jonathan Ross interview:
It helps that Ross is a good interviewer (I particularly liked his description of Alec Baldwin as "magisterial," which is perfect), and the sort of grateful, hopeful, British perspective on the show made me see it a more forgiving light. Baldwin sounds like a delight to work with. And I'm totally excited to see Fey host SNL: as much as I'm annoyed by the "Tina Fey/Liz Lemon is unattractive and weird" thread running through the show, I still am happy that Fey took the risk to leave SNL, go up against Aaron Sorkin, win, and now is coming back as a star in her own right. That narrative remains awesome.
