With Molly Shannon readying to throw back a few drinks onstage as Promises, Promises barfly Marge MacDougall, Broadway.com asked fans to choose which Saturday Night Live star you'd like to join Shannon on the Great White Way. The tally is complete, and funny lady Tina Fey ran away with the race, scoring a whopping 42% of votes. While the six-time Emmy winner has yet to make her Broadway debut, the actress/writer/producer's hit TV series 30 Rock is set just around the corner from the theater district in Rockefeller Center.
Following in second came Kristen Wiig, with 18% of votes. The current SNL actress is known for her impressions of Suze Orman, Jamie Lee Curtis and even showbiz great Judy Garland. Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler landed in third place with 11% of votes. Poehler has co-starred with Fey in films such as Mean Girls and Baby Mama and played an attorney defending a controversial musical in Hamlet 2.
Representing the SNL men in fourth place came Andy Samberg. The viral video auteur landed 8% of the votes. Jimmy Fallon followed closely in fifth place with 6% of the votes. After a song-filled hosting gig on the Emmy Awards, the SNL star-turned-late night chat host is hosting a Broadway week beginning September 13 on his talk show, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Thanks for voting!
