Tituss Burgess, Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski are ‘Flawless’
As for plans for season two, Fey won’t be specific, but she does say “Kimmy’s boyfriend will return”. Sadly, Fey admitted she had “no fully formed jokes” for Trump’s run yet.
“Kimmy Schmidt” producers Fey and Robert Carlock promise that even if he’s not singing “Peeno Noir,” Burgess’ vocal talents will continue to be put to good use. “You took down Big Bang Theory!“. Honestly, racism is something learned, not something that you just pick up one day and wish to dislike someone.
Fey also revealed that Netflix has “definitely encouraged” the show’s creative team to extend each episode’s runtime, moving beyond the standard 21 minutes for a broadcast comedy. She attributes that to the quirky qualities of the show, of which it has plenty. And if fans are lucky, who knows, so might one of the show’s Emmy-nominated guest stars: Jon Hamm.
Lack of ratings is liberating, she raved. “People were offended by stuff because they had been watching something else and then it just turned into 30 Rock at 7 p.m. Central, which was not appropriate”.
Some people read, some watch a movie, some sleep. “Let’s go with that!”
The show follows Kemper as Kimmy, a wide-eyed young girl, recently released after 15-years in a cult, as she starts a new life in New York City. The comedy legend told ETonline at the TCA Winter Press tour how the series, originally slated for NBC, found it’s way to the popular streaming site. “I would have to ruin that tone in Season 2”.
