## Transcript

So, Tina Fey stopped by the Late Show Thursday night and the funny lady shared a few of her, thoughts on the Met Gala when she went a few years back. It is such a jerk parade. If you had a million arms and all the people you would punch in the whole world, they're all there. [ LAUGH ] Man, oh man, Tina. Tell us how you really feel. The writer / producer was filling David Letterman in on all the things he'll have to do when he's retired, and Tina warned him, he'll be getting a whole lot of invites to galas. She advised him to drink contact lens fluid so he ends up in the hospital and has an excuse not to go.

Yeah we're gonna go ahead and assume Tina isn't a big fan of galas. And now we're kinda curious how Anna Wintour feels about her famous Met Gala being called a jerk parade. Well, judging by how Tina ended the show, it's probably safe to say she doesn't really care what anyone, Anna Wintour including, thinks of her. Take a look. I wanna give you, the dress. [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] Why yes, that does say Last Dress Ever. Tina decided to commemorate Dave's last days on the Late Show with a parting gift, her dress. You never cease to amaze us, Tina. And we love you for it. Y'all ready for this jelly?

To see more of Tina Fey's hilarious antics, you can catch her new movie Sisters, which premiers December of this year.
