Nerves of Steal
While I wish the "freeze screen" for the video -- and the description -- were different so as to not give anything away, this was still a fun bit on the Conan show that starts normally and takes some enjoyable twists and turns.
What's easy to let slip through the cracks is that both are alum of Saturday Night Live, though not at the same time. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was there from 1982-85, and Tina Fey began in 2000 until 2008. (Actually, she started with the show in 1997 as a writer, and made a few uncredited appearances before she became an official cast member on Weekend Update.) I would not be me if I didn't also note that both began their comedy careers in Chicago -- Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a comedy-improv troupe at Northwestern, and Tina Fey at Second City.)
By the way, Julia Louis-Dreyfus had a great tweet the other day. I don't recall the exact phrasing, but it was basically, "Isn't it wonderful that we finally have someone called 'Madame Vice President' who isn't a fictional character."
