With two seasons of The Four Seasons in the can and another on the way, Will Forte is reflecting on his second act with longtime friend Tina Fey.
“It’s the best. Anytime you get to work with somebody that you’re friends with is always fantastic,” Forte, 56, tells PEOPLE recently, while discussing his new movie Coyote vs. Acme. “I have known Tina for years, but then coming in, you’re still a little nervous, you want to do a good job and stuff, but, with Tina, I’ve known her for so long. That’s number one. Number two, she’s a comedy queen, right?”
Fey, 56, co-created The Four Seasons — an adaptation of Alan Alda’s 1981 movie of the same name — as a Netflix comedy-drama in 2025. The series is the latest in a career of television writing for Fey that has included acclaimed work on Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Mr. Mayor, among other projects. Forte and Fey overlapped at SNL between 2002 and 2006, while Fey served as the sketch comedy series’ head writer.
Years after sharing the stage at Saturday Night Live, Forte and Fey’s reunion shows their creative partnership is still going strong, with The Four Seasons giving the longtime friends another opportunity to make audiences laugh together.
