i felt like there was a prism of like eight lenses, julianne moore playing sarah palin, watching tina feyrah palin for joe biden at the same time this was happening. i really did study very hard to understand her and so that initial -- in the first part of the movie there's a little clip there that steve schmidt sees her about her being in an interview. i saw that same clip studying her. she is very articulate, very persuasive, she went sort of unchallenged especially in areas that she was comfortable with like energy and alaska. obviously when you're running for governor, those are the things that are most important. i thoroughly enjoyed the debate prep. it was totally different than what sarah palin's debate prep was. [ laughter ] >> it was. when we saw as we were in the room watching the palin debate prep when we were in joe biden's debate prep, we saw pictures of her underneath the trees in arizona, and we were like wow that is so unusual that she would be preparing way out there. anyway very, very interesting stuff. i know i didn't see a film of -- i think there was another film, but

it was those few instances of katie couric interview in particular and bad enough that tina fey could produce this s m imitation to define her. >> governor palin has not been happy with this film. why? >> it's hard to know because at least as far as she said she hasn't seen it. so it's hard to know why she's not happy with it. i think some of her fans have seen things in the trailer that they don't like. we have been saying all along we encourage them to see movie because the movie is a balanced portrait of her and as we've shown it, people come in and even people predisposed not to like her and almost to a person say i feel better about her. i feel more sympathetic than when i walked in the door. it's accurate. it's true to history. it shows a lot of strengths that we've been talking about today. it shows where she rose to the occasion and places where she fell short. hard for a public figure to see themselves presented on a page or on screen as a person in full. it's hard to see where you fall short. i think if she could see it through fair ieyes, she would think it's a fair treatme

they have seen tina fey over and over. high expectations. we talk about a lot of people. danny said julienne more would be great. i was skeptical because she is one of my favorite actresses ever. but i did not get it. we took a photoshop process put the glasses and the hare and the close on her and dresser up like a computer and it hit. but the main goal was to make sure we have an actress that would play the character in a relatable with the dimensions to go past the media iconography and the persona for pricing julianne has so much good will so i knew they would say it is serious my favorite movies when she watches tina fey play a wish i could be there when she does. i hope she will watch the movie did to people playing hurt in the same shot. [laughter] five or to that shot all three of them. [laughter] one of the most difficult choices was ed harris for john mccain. i had nobody else in mind in. nobody. the sense of humor, the unpredictable combust ability all of the qualities of john mccain even if harris was so thin. he gestured it to eat more. [laughter] and he gain

tina fey. it's all about you. tina fey, oh. she can write a book.ve produce her on show but not so good. that's really, really kind. i think it is a matter of personal taste. our own influences growing up i had people like from peter zellers to steve martin to jack lemmon. it was all over the map. >> it wasn't your great burng ambition as a kid. you were going to be a lawyer. what was the moment for you when the lights came on and you thought i'm going to be a comedian? it always seemed like a horrible soulless profession having to make people laugh. >> it was when i started getting paid to do it. if i can make money as an actor that was my goal. the fact that i just over time realized that i was making more money being a comedic actor than a dramatic actor. that's what it was for me. >> do you feel a pressure to always be on? we were talking about this earlier. when you go out and people meet you, when they meet me they will say what was steve carell like? there must be a pressure to be hilarious. >> i set the bar low. going on a talk show i see co

>>> forget tina fey's saturday night live impression, something is bringing sarah palin to the big screen. >>> apple whipped gadget gurus into a frenzy with the announcement of another ipad. but do you need it? >> reporter: by now you've seen it and heard it. you may have asked do i need it. for many the answer is yes. for the more casual tech consumer, the question might be do i need the new ipad. for existing ipad users, this latest version has a better camera and high definition display. >> it's one of the best screens out there. also, it's a faster processor. when you combine the screen and the processor, that equates to better gaming. >> reporter: there's no big change in design, so an old ipad won't look too outdated. >> all around not a huge difference but they left in place a lot of what was working for them on the old ipad. for people hop aren't in the market or have the original ipad, they may want to step up. >> reporter: for those who don't currently own a tablet, price and size can make a difference. barnes & noble and the eye pad 2 will still be on sell for $399, $100 less t

>> tina fey, oh, good book.e can write a book, yes, she can executive produce her own show, but not so good. that's really, really kind. again, i think it's a matter of personal taste. our own influences growing up, i had people from like peter sellers to steve martin from jack lemon. it was sort of all over the map. >> but being a comedian wasn't your great burning ambition. you were going to be a lawyer or -- there were all sorts of career paths lined up. what was the moment for you when the lights lined up and you said, i'm going to be a comedian. to me, it always seemed this horrible, soulless profession. having to make people laugh must be the hardest thing in the world. >> it was when i started getting paid to do it. because i thought, if i can make money as an actor, if i can make a living as an actor, that was my goal. but the fact that i just over time realized that i was making more money being a comedic actor than a dramatic actor. so that's what it was for me. >> do you feel a pressure to always be o

. >> we all have the comical image of tina fey as sarah palin etched in our mind. julianne moore's portrayal? >> there's a scene where jew julianne moore as sarah palin is watching tina fey portray sarah palin. i'm telling you, julianne moore as sarah palin is fantastic. it's a knockout performance. in about 30 seconds we completely forget the apprehension when the pictures first came out of her in the hair-do and the glasses. she's really very good. i was kind of ready for her not to be very good at it. i really was taken by her performance. >> it's always hard to portray somebody who is alive and has a public image. we have perceived notions there. do you think the film itself will change anyone's perception of sarah palin or the 2008 election? >> i really don't. it's just too difficult in our culture, the way we do politics now, the way we discuss politics, the venom and vitriol with which we approach this subject. sarah palin is very much in play in our political sphere. i think it's difficult for viewers who feel strongly either way about her or about the repu

he wanted to make bit the movie. >> i think we all did get spoiled, tina fey had that down.he was great. >> oh, sure. >> right. listen, we are still a week away from the opening of movie "21 jump street." there is a lot of buzz surrou surrounding them already. what's that buzz about? >> reboot of a star that starred johnnie depp. why would you remake that tv show? jonah hill made fun of the fact in the beginning of the movie that they are remaking something they are rebooting. there has been talk and everyone is wondering when johnnie depp, if johnnie depp appears in this new movie. and he does. >> so is he the cameo? tommy talks about that in an interview. >> i was talking to ice cube about it who was in the movie, too. >> big surprise guest with the big nose did that make it or break it for you? were you excited to have -- i can't say who but -- exactly. have that person in the move write? >> yeah. to me it added weight. me on the front and him on the back end, you know, it solidified the whole movie. >> is he in the movie? >> yes. ice cube play it is top cup who runs 21 j

i think every time you think it is over, you know, john lovitz comes along, tina fey comes along. >> another question. if your hair could speak, what would it say? >> it would say, dave, this is over. >> i get a lot of crap for my hair. i mean, not as much as alan gets for his head. i do not know what to do. this is the way it is. people have tried, really strong, powerful hairdresser's. [laughter] they could do something for a few minutes. this is why i could never be an airline pilot. if you got in an airplane and saw somebody with my hair cut, you get right off the airplane. [laughter] >> also, you have to learn how to fly. >> nobody checks that. they see the hair cut. >> you're leaving out the day that mo howard saw your head. i am going to wear my hair like that, too. >> do you agree with the "new york times" that david is the funniest man in america? >> yes, do you? [laughter] >> they said that? >> apparently. >> there was one reviewer in 1981, and i have had to live -- who would even say that? i was once on a book tour in england, and they do not think we are funny, the brits.

we were a bit alarmed when ceo doug leeds said he had discovered business guidance in tina fey's book "bossypants." >> good god. >> what? >> you won. >> i did? >> reporter: as best we can tell, neither fey nor her alter ego liz lemon have any business sense whatsoever. >> yes! i won! nobody beats the liz! in your face. >> reporter: but leeds, the ceo at ask.com, says the book taught him the importance of improvisation. the most important rule of improv, fey writes, is to always agree. when one person has an idea, build on it. don't tear it down. it's an idea leeds has brought to the entire workforce at ask.com through a series of workshops. doug leeds says this is more than just the ceo following the latest trend. the ideas in "bossypants" will steer the company from here on out. joined by eric savitz, "forbes," and john swartz of "usa today." all right. we're going to tease you for about eight minutes here now. one moment of seriousness, and that is i'll tell you, you know, especially having had a corporate parent of general electric, the same one that liz lemon had, it was 6 sigma a
