Might have been funny if I was a soccer mom

Tina Fey and Jim, Ryan did an excellent job in a conversation that we all really enjoyed. Tina Fey is smart, funny, warm, and thoughtful. It was really awesome to see her in her college environment.
The afternoon spent with Tina Fey was spectacular! She is so funny and truly a gift!!!
This was a great event. Tina and Jim were both hilarious and thoughtful.
Tina was funny and engaging. UVA President Ryan did a phenomenal job with the interview. He was also funny and well prepared. Tina was witty and smart with her responses.
I loved listening to Tina talk to Jim Ryan, they were both so funny and talking about real life, being genuine and conversational.
Funny, honest, personal, nothing sacred but not going for shock value or cheap laughs either.
Laughed for more than an hour. These ladies are comedic geniuses and though they cautioned the audiences they aren’t stand up comedians, their improv skills are still top notch
Netflix Is a Joke, the now-annual LA humor festival, would make all kinds of sense as a charity event. Similarly, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (two of my longtime favorites) shooting the breeze for an hour would be not just forgivable but delightful in the context of, say, a fundraiser at Largo. As a for-profit arena event, however, with tickets topping out at $250, what could have been a nice lark just felt like an obscene cash grab instead. The "conversation" format (clearly slapped together at the last moment, with the two stars completely unprepared and seemingly uninterested in saying anything of substance) was grotesquely ill-suited to the venue and the price point. No real blame goes to Tina and Amy, who did what they could within this bizarre concept. It's the fact that this festival appears to be an actual revenue stream for Netflix (despite being primarily an advertisement for it!) that boggles the mind.
The show was organic and funny and heart warming and everything I hoped for.
