Ranked: These Comedians Have Made Us Laugh For Decades

18. Tina Fey

Tina Fey was the first female head writer of SNL, meaning that she must have made quite the impression of showrunner Chuck Lorre. During her run between 1997-2006, she helped some of the biggest stars find their careers.

As time went on, Fey would go on to write and star in the iconic Mean Girls, starring Lindsey Lohan and Rachel McAdams. Her television work includes a seven-season run as Liz Lemon in NBC’s 30 Rock, starring opposite Alec Baldwin.
