She’s not like a regular mom! Tina Fey’s daughter Penelope calls her a ‘loser’ as she crashes her Late Night with Seth Meyers interview
Tina Fey gave us cinematic gold in 2004 when she wrote and starred in the classic teen movie Mean Girls, featuring the Amy Poehler-delivered line: ‘I’m not like a regular mom. I’m a cool mom.’
And it appears the nine-time Emmy winner is feeling personally victimized by her own little Regina George.
On Monday, she found herself interrupted by her daughter Penelope Athena, who called her and Seth Meyer ‘losers’ during her appearance on Late Night.

The 49-year-old was busy discussing the new Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special when Penelope walked in.
‘Please hold, there’s a colonial lady coming in,’ Fey told her former Saturday Night Live co-star, before looking offscreen, asking, ‘Yes, can I help you?’
She turned the computer to show her daughter, who remained silent: ‘We’re taping a television program now. Do you need something?’
The eight-year-old then slowly lifted her hand to her forehead, making an ‘L’ with her fingers while rocking a colonial-era dress.

Tina then did the ‘loser’ hand symbol back, as she quipped: ‘This means Loyalist in colonial times, so that’s on you!’
In addition to the interactive Netflix special, she also promoted the Rise Up New York! telethon, which she hosted later that night.
She shed a tear during the event after announcing that more than $115million was raised in support of New Yorkers impacted by COVID-19.
The 30 Rock star hosted the benefit on behalf of iHeartMedia and New York-based poverty fighting organization Robin Hood.
