12.01.08 ZOMG! ORIGIN OF TINA FEY’S SCAR REVEALED!
It’s pretty well known that Tina Fey never talks about the little scar on her left cheek. Luckily, she also has a husband who’s just happy when someone wants to talk to him. He recently revealed his wife’s scar origin in an interview with Vanity Fair:
Jeff Richmond says a stranger slashed Fey’s face when she was 5 years old.
The future TV star was playing in the front yard of her Upper Darby, Penn., home when a stranger approached the young Fey and violently cut her cheek.
Says Richmond: “That scar was fascinating to me. This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life.” [AP]
Yeah, I can totally understand that. It’s like when I was five and I pissed my pants on a field trip to the zoo, and to this day I still cry like a baby whenever I see zebra print. That was also the year I stopped breastfeeding. I don’t really know where I was going with this, but if I had to choose someone on 30 Rock to get their face slashed, it’d definitely be Judah Friedlander. He could wear a hat that says “OUCH MY FACE!”

All I can say is that my dad has lousy aim.
“… and to this die…”
Subliminal messages? You bastard.
That’s kind of a boring story, no wonder nobody ever talks to him. If he were really interesting, he would have given the stranger a dangerous back story and the assault would have been all edgy and shot in shaky-cam; Rated R.
and to this die I still cry like a baby whenever I see zebra print.
You’re fascinated with my avatar, aren’t you, Vince.
I was hoping she was cut in retaliation for her role as a mob informant…
The true story is that she walked in on her dad sitting on his hand getting ready to jerk off and he got angry.
Stranger? Hardly. That man was Gary Busey.
Tina Fey: Proof that you shouldn’t play doctor with the neighbor boy who tortures stray animals.
Richmond changes the story every time he tells it.
Tina Fey: Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was….a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn’t like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and he says “Why so serious?” Comes at me with the knife,”Why so serious?” He sticks the blade in my mouth. “Let’s put a smile on that face!”
After he let the cat out of the bag, Richmond isn’t allowed to suck Fey’s dick anymore.
Fuckin’ A, Burnsy.
A stranger did it?
So Tina Fey sat on her hand until it was numb, and cut her own cheek?
Upside-down or right-side-up, it’s been done already.
That scar was fascinating to me. This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something.
This guy’s gonna have to bring an extra pair of underwear to the new Punisher movie then…
Yeah, but yours wasn’t funny.
Not to mention the Lion King!
Get over it, Jack.
This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something.
Sunday I went through six Taco Bell Volcano burritos, a six pack of MGD and then three pair of underwear.
God, I want a volcano taco for dinner.
I thought she got it from learing how to crack a bull-whip?
I thought she got into a knife fight with Tracy Morgan?
I thought she got that scar from a bar room brawl after Luis Guzman broke a Dos Equis bottle on the bar and sliced her with the jagged handle?
I thought she got that from a nasty uni-cycle accident?
I thought she got that from fuckin’ around with ninja stars?
