I recently finished reading Tina Fey's Bossypants.  She told of her life as a comedian, particularly as a writer on SNL, and the time cap they had.  She also talks about generalization of female comedians (being called not funny).  This book has a similar feel to 30 Rock, her television series, in its tone, which is smart but stupid, hilarious and outrageous, creative.  Here is an example of her creativity:
“I was a little excited but mostly blorft. "Blorft" is an adjective I just made up that means 'Completely overwhelmed but proceeding as if everything is fine and reacting to the stress with the torpor of a possum.' I have been blorft every day for the past seven years.”
She seems a little blorft here.

I recommend this book to those who are mature and appreciate immature comedy, and to all Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock fans.
