Tina Fey Slams Celebrity ‘Side Hustle’ Game and Says She ‘Kind of’ Hates Money: ‘I Judge It’

Tina Fey is content with her bank account.

On Tuesday, March 18, the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast launched with the 53-year-old comedian and actress featuring her former Saturday Night Live costar as one of her first guests. 

At the start of the episode, Poehler thanked listeners for tuning in and joked that she “like(s) to be five or six years late to any trend,” referring to the timing of her inaugural podcast show.

After welcoming Fey, 54, Poehler proudly credited her longtime friend with having “the best hair in the business,” urging her to consider ways outside of acting to bring in money. 

Continuing their conversation, Fey quipped that keeping a scene of her brushing her hair in an upcoming project was pure “insanity and narcissism.”

“But you have incredible hair. I feel like you should have a hair campaign and also, I always, I'm pushing you to have a glasses line,” Poehler said. “Why do you not have a glass [line]?”

Fey started to explain why she’d never ventured into her own line of eyeglasses before the podcaster interjected with, “You hate money?”

“I do kind of hate money,” she confessed, adding that she’s “terrible with money.”

Poehler disagreed, prompting her guest to clarify her statement. 

“No, I'm not terrible, I don't waste money, but I don't get excited about money,” Fey said, noting that feeling “safe” and having “enough money to live” was all she needed.

She continued, “I have a problem with rich people having a side hustle.”

Poehler asked Fey if a rich person or celebrity having a side hustle such as a podcast, was something she had an issue with, alluding to Good Hang with Amy Poehler. 

Fey insisted the podcast was fine, but they seemed to agree that a rosé brand is where they would draw the line. 

“Yeah, if you already have like $200 million and you're like also,” Fey said with Poehler once again interjecting. 

“But Tina, this is where you have to learn from Gen Z,” Poehler said. “They don't judge it.”

Fey hit back, “I judge it.”

“You should stop,” Poehler said as the ladies laughed and moved on to the next topic. 

During a joint mid-February appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ahead of SNL50: The Anniversary Special, the comedic duo opened up about their friendship. 

"We've been friends for over 30 years, and we've been together doing stuff a lot, but I was — I'm kind of like Tina's second wife because you guys did it first," Poehler told Fallon, to which Fey hilariously replied, "Yes, that’s true."

The topic was brought up when Fallon, 50, discussed their past on SNL, during which they co-hosted "Weekend Update."

"I got cast because I was technically a nepo friend," Poehler added. "Tina got me the job 100%. Vouched for me in every way. And I was joking backstage. I was like, 'SNL feels like college to me. Like, I would never get into it now.' "
