Tina Fey Covers EW and Signs a Four Year Deal with Universal TV

As the sun sets on her series 30 Rock starting next week with a slew of special guests including Amy Sedaris and Catherine O’Hara, Tina Fey takes a look back at the show and her movie career in an interview to be published tomorrow by EW.

She gave a glimpse of the final season and the show will take on the perennial question — are women funny?

While we will miss 30 Rock, Tina will remain in the TV business having just signed a four year deal with Universal Television. This deal includes Fey developing new projects including the option of another starring vehicle for her.
