Tina Fey is fronting her first TV series since "30 Rock." She talked to @THR about losing her parents, what she knows of the Lorne Michaels' SNL succession plans, who's in her group chat, and the new show, "The Four Seasons," which costars Steve Carell, Colman Domingo and Will Forte. “This sandwich generation stuff, having your kids and an aging parent in the same house, it’s wonderful … but it also really takes a lot out of you,” says Fey. “My mom passed away in the summer, my older daughter went to college in August and my husband and I went to work on 'The Four Seasons' in the fall. That kept me in the world. It saved me from just shrinking up like a little granny apple head.”
