Tina Fey’s doing the press rounds at the moment, promoting her new Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons. That’s included plenty of moments of light-hearted frivolity, as Fey reflects on working with Will Forte, Steve Carell, and Colman Domingo, to say nothing of her husband Jeff Richmond, who produced on the series and directed one of its episodes. But Fey does have an important health message for people to go along with all the jokes: If you’re getting fooled by very basic Photoshops of her and Amy Poehler in a poster for a Golden Girls reboot, “Go to a hospital.”
Fey was asked about this potentially life-threatening scenario by Entertainment Tonight, the interviewer joking that they’d already found her next gig, before showing her an internet-created poster that showed Fey, Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Lisa Kudrow arrayed in various versions of Golden Girls cosplay. Fey laughingly noted that she had, in fact, seen the picture before, and then proceeded to be enjoyable merciless about the composition of the image. “I like that this was fooling people. Like, why would we ever take a picture where Amy and Lisa Kudrow are in costume, but we’re not?” Expressing a bit of her inner Foxworthy, Fey added, “If this fooled you, you might be a Boomer. And if you’re Gen X, and this fooled you, go to a hospital.”
Fey went on to add that she would never, in a million years, consider taking on Golden Girls herself, on account of Golden Girls already existing, and being great: “Those ladies can’t be touched.” Acknowledging that Four Seasons is, itself, a remake—of the 1981 film; Alan Alda appears in both—Fey made it clear she’s not wild about the trend, generally, joking that her next remake project will be “The 1948 Olympics? I don’t know.” (For what it’s worth, Maya Rudolph has also been confronted with the Golden Girls image; she dubbed it “fascinating” before realizing she couldn’t tell which of the modern comic stars were meant to slot into which part of the classic ensemble. “I think they gave up.”)
