Tina Fey Says She And Tim Meadows Agreed To Do 'Mean Girls' Remake On 1 Condition

Tina Fey spilled on how she and Tim Meadows agreed to reprise their roles in the Mean Girls movie musical.

Fey and Meadows starred as Ms. Norbury and Principal Duvall, respectively, in the original 2004 film before their work in the latest Mean Girls, a remake based on the Broadway musical of the same name.

I am reprising my role as Ms. Norbury because we thought, well, teachers work for a long time. So it might make sense if Tim and I did it, Fey told People magazine .

So I called Tim and I was like, Will you do it? Ill do it if you do it. And we said yes, as long as we dont have to sing.

She continued: It was fun. Its been nice to see Tim. One of us has aged the other one of us is Tim Meadows! But its been really nice to get to work with Tim again.
