Jun 1, 2015 2:53 PM CUT It was a big night for kissing at awards show podiums on Sunday. At the Peabody Awards, the mouth-to-mouth involved recipient Amy Schumer and presenter Tina Fey. According [to _The_ _Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/peabody-awards-2015-tina-fey-799097 "undefined"), Fey’s initial plan involved some Madonna-esque witchcraft. Fey said, per _THR_: “I really wanted to come down here tonight, and in a Madonna kind of way try to like feed off of her youth and maybe suck her soul out in a very awkward, staged lesbian kiss. But when I pitched that idea to Amy’s camp, they came back with such an immediate yes that it kind of grossed me out.” > [](https://twitter.com/pivot/status/605170911017246721) Hopefully no soul sucking took place, and instead the swapping of saliva simply created an everlasting collaborative bond between the comic superheroes. Meanwhile, Allison Janney was the kiss-instigator—the kisstigator, if you will—at The Critics’ Choice Television Awards, bestowing one upon James Corden after her win for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. “I didn’t mean anything by that other than just I just love this man so much,” Janney said. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3903095/tina-fey-amy-schumer-kiss-peabody-awards/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3903095/tina-fey-amy-schumer-kiss-peabody-awards/"},"headline":"Tina Fey and Amy Schumer Kissed at the Peabody Awards","datePublished":"2015-06-01T14:53:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:32.220Z","description":"There's a new Tina and Amy in town","url":"https://time.com/3903095/tina-fey-amy-schumer-kiss-peabody-awards/","keywords":["Newsfeed","tina fey","celebrity","Amy Schumer","james corden"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a2e455b1fcde80b/6988526206f2c1464b33a6be/gettyimages-475444150.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman","jobTitle":"Zuckerman is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/esther-zuckerman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a2e455b1fcde80b/6988526206f2c1464b33a6be/gettyimages-475444150.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"(L-R) Comedians Tina Fey and Amy Schumer kiss onstage at The 74th Annual Peabody Awards Ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street on May 31, 2015 in New York City.","caption":"(L-R) Comedians Tina Fey and Amy Schumer kiss onstage at The 74th Annual Peabody Awards Ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street on May 31, 2015 in New York City.","creditText":"Ilya S.
