After their latest movie, [_Sisters_](http://time.com/3958477/tina-fey-amy-poehler-sisters-trailer/), is released on Dec. 18, the costars are [scheduled to host](http://time.com/4116794/tina-fey-amy-poehler-host-snl/) the final _Saturday Night Live_ episode of 2015 on Dec. 19\. Luckily for fans of the dynamic duo, this means they’re also busy answering questions about their two decades of friendship and working together. Fey spoke about one of the pair’s most iconic _SNL_ sketches, ‘Mom Jeans,’ during a recent interview with [Glamour](http://www.glamour.com/entertainment/blogs/obsessed/2015/12/tina-fey-amy-poehler-cover) and revealed what the modern version of the hilarious skit would be. “Well, granny panties are back. Maybe one called, like, ‘Granny Panties for Him,’ and it’s a man wearing really high granny panties? ‘Granny Panties Pour Homme!,'” she said. The original 2003 ‘Mom Jeans’ parody commercial starred Fey and Poehler alongside Maya Rudolph and Rachel Dratch. We can only hope we’ll get to see the updated sketch soon. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4131674/tina-fey-amy-poehler-saturday-night-live-modern-mom-jeans/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4131674/tina-fey-amy-poehler-saturday-night-live-modern-mom-jeans/"},"headline":"Tina Fey Reveals What Today's Version of the 'Mom Jeans' Skit Would Be","datePublished":"2015-12-01T22:27:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:54.534Z","description":"And it needs to be made immediately","url":"https://time.com/4131674/tina-fey-amy-poehler-saturday-night-live-modern-mom-jeans/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Amy Poehler","tina fey","movies","celebrities","SNL","Saturday Night Live","TV","actresses","sisters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta00e6e912cc8a639/6987794b428a9e5c5ecc680e/tina-fey-amy-poehler-golden-globes1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta00e6e912cc8a639/6987794b428a9e5c5ecc680e/tina-fey-amy-poehler-golden-globes1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Golden Globes - Tina Fey Amy Poehler","caption":"Golden Globes - Tina Fey Amy Poehler","creditText":"Art Streiber—NBC/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4131674/tina-fey-amy-poehler-saturday-night-live-modern-mom-jeans/","name":"Tina Fey Reveals What Today's Version of the 'Mom Jeans' Skit Would Be"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4131674/tina-fey-amy-poehler-saturday-night-live-modern-mom-jeans/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4131674/tina-fey-amy-poehler-saturday-night-live-modern-mom-jeans/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
