As a human person, I cannot wait for this Sunday’s Golden Globes. Spending three hours with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is about as promising a night of television as one could hope for.

In preparation for the upcoming hosting gig the two gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter that is quite worth a read. Fey and Poehler make a dynamic team, as we’ve learned over the years, but there’s something about this interview that provided a new insight into these women.

Take this exchange:

NBC is now the Sound of Music network. Are you getting any pressure to do the whole show as a live musical number?

Poehler: OK, I see what you’re doing, you’re going to set up jokes. I’m not falling for that. I didn’t say any of that. I’ve worked at NBC for 12 years so I’m happy they had a successful night of TV.

Fey: We’re going to do most of Sweeney Todd but we’re going to fit it in so it seems like a natural part of the show. It’s exciting because we’re going to kill a bunch of movie stars. That doesn’t sound right at all.

Or this one:

A challenge: $1,000 if both of you wear Amy Adams’ plunging blouse thing from American Hustle.

Fey: First of all, if you think my going rate for anything is $1,000 you are looking at an old catalog. I get at least $12,000 to dress up in sexual costumes for people. I would wear that for free. You would not have to pay me to wear that.

Poehler: Oh eww, I don’t want to even answer this question. Pass. Next.

The whole affair reads like a winding stream of errant jokes and prodding, where Fey generally seems happy to oblige, and Poehler more than happy not to. The level of celebration these two writers-actresses-comedians-producers have received over the past decade is absolutely and fully deserved. But it must get exhausting.

After so many years of enduring interview questions like “I assume you want to be known as a comedian period, not a female comedian?” it’s no real surprise to hear Fey’s response: “The only disadvantage women have is have to keep fucking answering the question of, “Is it hard and are women funny?”.

I do hope to see Poehler hosting in an August: Osage County sweatshirt.
