Alec Baldwin Tried to Get With Tina Fey Before Working Together on ’30 Rock’

Could it be that Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey could have had 30 Rock babies in real life? We’re dying!

In his new memoir Nevertheless, Alec revealed he once was head over heels in love with Tina back when she was the head writer of Saturday Night Live.

“When I first met Tina Fey — beautiful and brunette, smart and funny, by turns smug and diffident and completely uninterested in me or anything I had to say — I had the same reaction that I’m sure many men and women have: I fell in love,” Alec wrote. “Tina was then the head writer at ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and I was hosting that week’s show.”

But of course, Tina’s husband came in the picture (which puts a damper on things). Her husband is Jeff Richmond, who also worked as the composer and music supervisor for 30 Rock. 

“… I asked Marci Klein, who coordinated the [‘SNL’] talent, if Tina was single. She pointed to a man sitting along the wall. Or maybe he was standing? This was Jeff Richmond, Tina’s husband,” Baldwin recalled. “Jeff is diminutive. Tina describes him as ‘travel-size.’ When I saw him, I thought, ‘What’s she doing with him?’” Of course, he went on to work with him a few years later.

“When I ended up working with the two of them years later, on ’30 Rock,’ of which Tina was writer, producer, and star, I changed that to ‘What’s he doing with her?’ Jeff, who was the talented composer and music supervisor on ’30 Rock,’ is as loose and outgoing as Tina is cautious and dry. ‘Just remember one thing,’ Lorne [Michaels] said. ‘She’s German.’”
