Tina Fey sets ‘Golden Girls’ remake rumours straight with Amy Poehler
Tina Fey has finally addressed the rumours that Hollywood’s favourite comedic duos – her and Amy Poehler are giving their twist to The Golden Girls in a remake.
The 54-year-old actress was asked about the rumours at the premiere of her upcoming Netflix comedy, The Four Seasons.
The Mean Girls alum was shown a poster which had Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Lisa Kudrow, and her picture together, with The Golden Girls written on it, with a premiere date for June 2024.
Talking about the allegedly fake poster, Fey told Entertainment Weekly, “Oh, this. I did know about this. I like that this was fooling people. Like, why would we ever take a picture where Amy and Lisa Kudrow are in costume, but we’re not?”
Fey added, “If this fooled you, you might be a Boomer. And if you’re Gen X, and this fooled you, go to a hospital. I would never touch this. This is too perfect. The original is … those ladies can’t be touched.”
The original Golden Girls series starred Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty and aired from 1985 to 1992.
Speaking of a potential reboot, the show’s creator, Susan Harris, told the outlet that there were no plans, back in 2017. “They’ve wanted to do Golden Girls the Musical and re-do Golden Girls, and we’ve always said no because Golden Girls would not be Golden Girls without that cast.”
