Tituss Burgess, who plays Titus Andromedon in the Netflix comedy, says he once asked his boss why she’s not on Twitter. Her reply: “Why would I give my jokes away for free?” Burgess also shared the backstory about the [lip sync video](http://time.com/3976910/tina-fey-beyonce-lip-sync/ "undefined") that went viral last month, in which he, Fey and Jane Krakowski (another star of _Kimmy_) mouth the word’s to Beyoncé’s “\*\*\*Flawless” on a private jet. He says the two women got “dolled up” when he suggested posting a video of their sing-along, which was easy for Fey because she “knows the words to everything.” Watch Burgess tell the story to Seth Meyers on _Late Night_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3998158/tina-fey-social-media/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3998158/tina-fey-social-media/"},"headline":"Tituss Burgess Explains Why Tina Fey Is Not on Social Media","datePublished":"2015-08-14T15:17:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T10:11:11.344Z","description":"Also the backstory to that \"Flawless\" lip sync","url":"https://time.com/3998158/tina-fey-social-media/","keywords":["celebrities","tina fey"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"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":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3998158/tina-fey-social-media/","name":"Tituss Burgess Explains Why Tina Fey Is Not on Social Media"}}]}] ```
