38. I agree about Conan and Kimmel being dweebs. Which begs the question why there are no female dweebs

on late night TV. Because if things were equal, we would have them on the air. According to you, women have to have much more talent and opportunities in order to be in the running for these jobs. That is the status quo and it is so prevalent, we don't even notice how wrong it is. That says it all.

But the sexism in SNL was rampant according to Fey. Always trying to "improve things" by always sticking a guy in the skit, even if the part was for a woman and awkward drag was the solution. to the point that producers said things like "who would want to see two women?" and I think that was about Fey and Amy Pohler, which is just nuts. Fey struggled working with people she largely respected, but came up against their self admitted bias against women writers and performers all the time.
