Good comedic timing on the camera man for including Steve’s wife after Tina’s look-alike joke 😂😂

[beammeier]

Man...that younger, thinner, smarter version of me really hit home

[Patri-xv]

He said to me: "Amy..." Ah, Tina, the best comedy writer there is!

[imgonnastealyourgirl]

Thaty Martin Short joke was savage and brutally funny

[LetsBeClear]

Oo!! Steves wife looks genuinely flustered at that comment - and plays it off like a doll. So cute

[Shrooqthefirst]

My heart melt As I watch him support the shy moment of his wife ❤️🥺

It's amazing that Tina Fey could be standing on stage and sitting right next to Steve Martin in the balcony all at the same time. Someone at CERN should look into this.

I love watching Tina Fey’s tribute speeches.

Those 4 jokes in the middle of "Steve giving advice to Tina" are super solid and delivered so well. As evidenced by the laughter at the head table. You can tell Tina did Weekend Update for a few years.

I don't think I've ever seen Lorne Michaels crack more than a faint smile at any joke...ever...and here he is busting up...wow!

[plissken]

Geez, Tina Fey and Steve's wife, Anne Stringfield (sitting next to him) are practically twins!

[fabianpatrizio]

and..Tina does the hot librarian look really well :)

[rickerson]

As far as father roles, she forgot "Simple Twist of Fate" that one was really heartwarming as well.

The most surprising thing about this is Lorne. I've never seen him laugh. Wtf. Didn't know he had this emotion.

[brutusbarnabus]

Funny that she made that joke about his wife because that is what I thought when they showed them both on camera.

[mrjones]

Talented, beautiful and funny as hell. Well that's my dream woman right there.
