Live Star says on Saturday night, ‘AI cannot write comedy’

Live star Tina Fee on Saturday night said that she is not worried about Artificial Intelligence (AI) carrying comedy writers.

On the last day of the Edinburgh TV festival, the audience said, “AI can do all other terrible things, such as writing music but so far, it’s not fun.”

Before acting at the NBC sketch comedy show, American actress and comedians broke into comedy as part of the Improvemental Comedy Group The Second City in Chicago.

One of her most famous roles, American vice -president’s candidate Sarah Paulin was in the 2008 election.

At that time he left the show but was asked to return.

Fay said: “I was not sure. I know I looked a little like him, but I also knew that someone like Kryston Wig could easily do it.”

But for six weeks, it made him famous.

He said: “So many people saw it and recognized me. They will come to me on the road.

“A French newspaper also ran a picture of Mary and Amy Pahaller as Hillary Clinton, thinking that we were real people.

“At the end of all this, it began to become a little scary, and then when Sara Paulin appeared in the show, it was picked up.”

It was announced in April that the UK would launch its own version of the long -lasting sketch show produced by the US show producer Lorne Michaels.

Graham Norton, who shared the festival phase with Fi, said he did not believe that the British writer stayed all night on Tuesday, as he did in the US, to finish the script on time to study on Wednesday.

But Fay said: “There is a dirty secret here. You don’t have to do it in this way. You can start in the morning.”

Fee, a 30 rock -maker, also revealed that former Prime Minister David Cameron wanted to talk to him about the British show while in power.

He recalled: “After the end of 30 rocks, a one or two years later, I was working in the show in Brooklyn, called the unbreakable Kimmi Schmid.

“I was very happy to take a break from being on cameras, jeans and dirty hair every day.

“And I received this call from someone in NBC, stating that if you could come to the rockfeller center, David Cameron is here and requested to meet you.

“He was the current Prime Minister. All this came out, did he want to meet me and say hi.”

Fay said Cameron invited him to the UK but did not take the proposal.

He continued: “He was as if ‘will you ever be ready to come and meet with our incredibly talented British show writers?

“And I was as if I can’t do it, because we all want to do it in the way they do it, become Ricky Gervice and ‘Remember at the time as I made 12 half an hour’. This is a lifestyle.”

Meanwhile, Fay described his latest show, The Four Seasons – which is based on the 1981 film – as “a practice in restraint”.

He said: “I had to say to other writers, when one character meets another person, they have to be normal, not derogatory.”

The second season of the show is now in production and said that his experience of middle life offered him a lot of ideas.

Fay said: “I am 55 years old, and at that age it can be, and some of it is terrible.”

She also told The Festival how she grew up with British television classics like Monty Python and Beni Hill.

And when asked to name his favorite show for the last 50 years, Fee has absolutely enrolled and I can destroy you.

Comedian was asked by a member of the audience for his favorite Scottish film and – despite that this is the first visit to the country – responded confidently local heroes,

Fay also revealed that she was keen to return to the UK to visit restless legs, she told about her 30 -year friendship with Amy Pahaller.
