Tina and Amy’s Anti –Star Wars Campaign (2015)Īdmittedly, Sisters will be up against quite a force this weekend - specifically, the Force. Let’s dig into the best, and highly specific, moments from Tina and Amy’s two decades of comedic collaboration.Ģ5.

They were leading their own shows, but the two continued to join forces from time to time, increasingly with bigger returns: collaboration on the Fey-penned Mean Girls led to Baby Mama in 2008 scene-stealing bits at awards shows served as stepping stones to their Globes hosting even SNL begged them to come back to play Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.
