Famous Ladies You Never Knew Were BFFs

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

These long-time BFFs met at Chicago’s ImproOlympic in 1993. Tina and Amy really appreciated and respected each other’s comedic work, and there was a connection that would last even when Amy moved to New York in 1996 to join Upright Citizens Brigade.

In 1997, Tina moved to New York too, only she was headed to Saturday Night Live as a writer. In 2001, Amy finally made the jump to SNL after many years of begging by Tina. Together, they were the first female anchors on Weekend Update. Since then, they have been in several movies together and hosted award shows. It’s safe to say that the names Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are officially synonymous with each other and that’s not a bad thing.
