Also spotted filming the scene, nearby the Platinum Dolls Gentleman’s Club, were Busy’s co-stars on the program, Sara Bareilles and Paula Pell.
Busy spoke with the outlet Story + Rain podcast about her role on the Peacock show from Fey, Robert Carlock and Meredith Scardino.
‘I literally can’t share anything, except that Tina Fey called me,’ Busy said. ‘I was standing on the street, she said, “We’re doing a show with Sara Bareilles, and Renée Elise Goldsberry from Hamilton.” She said “it’s about a ’90s girl group that’s in their 40’s, trying to stage a comeback.”‘
The premise of the program, according to Deadline, is the revival of a 90s one-hit-wonder girl group who get the band back together after their material winds sampled by a prominent rapper.

The Oak Park, Illinois-born star added, ‘I’m so lucky that I’m doing this new show because I’m going to get to finally live my dreams!’
Philipps has past been seen on TV shows including Cougar Town, Vice Principals and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
On the podcast, Philipps said her most cherished of all TV roles came earlier in her career playing Kim Kelly on the 1999-2000 Judd Apatow comedy Freaks and Geeks, which also featured young upstarts James Franco and Seth Rogen.
‘Professionally, I obviously have a very, very warm place in my heart for Kim Kelly,’ Busy said. ‘I love her. I haven’t rewatched the series in like twenty years. I’m really excited to watch it again, at some point, if I can ever convince my daughter, Birdie, to watch it with me.’
Busy and her husband, screenwriter Marc Silverstein, are parents to daughters Birdie, 12, and Cricket, seven.
