We know Virginia Woolf made it on The Daily Show, but has she ever been mentioned on Saturday Night Live? Apparently she and other women writers were in the script last fall, but they didn’t make the cut.
Jezebel.com reports that when Tina Fey hosted SNL on Oct. 17, her tribute to women writers that ended up as a parody was eliminated from the show.
Here’s a bit of what writers said about Woolf: “You know who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Any home boy with a pair of eyeballs.”
Funny? Or just typical boys’ club humor at SNL?
Many thanks to Blogging Woolf reader Kaylee Baucom for the Woolf sighting.
