Tina Fey admits to Amy Poehler the thing ‘rich people’ in Hollywood do that she has a ‘problem with’

Tina Fey unloaded on a greedy practice of ‘rich people’ in Hollywood that she couldn’t stand when she was a guest on her longtime friend Amy Poehler’s new podcast, Good Hang.

Tina, who appeared on the podcast’s debut episode, admitted that she had a ‘problem with’ wealthy stars who have a ‘side hustle,’ even though they’re financial secure enough to not bother.

‘If you already have like $200 million … I judge it,’ the 54-year-old 30 Rock star said of the legion of celebrities who have launched their own products on the side.

Tina got some surprising pushback from Amy, 53, who urged her to ‘learn from Gen Z’ and not to ‘judge’ others for never having enough.

The former Parks And Recreation star launched the topic when she urged her brunette pal to launch her own ‘hair campaign,’ or to advertise glᴀsses, since she regularly wore stylish frames on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock.

‘[I’m] always pushing you to have a glᴀsses line. Why do you not have a glᴀsses [line]?’ Amy wondered aloud.

‘I have to say —’ Tina began to respond, before Amy interrupted with ‘You hate money?’

‘I do kind of hate money,’ she former Weekend Update Anchor said.

She described herself as ‘terrible with money,’ though Amy tried to convince her that wasn’t the case.

‘No, I’m not terrible. I don’t waste money,’ she relented, before clarifying that she doesn’t ‘get excited about money.’

Tina added that she doesn’t care for stars with a ‘side hustle,’ and Amy shrunk down in front of her computer screen and joked in a perfect ᴅᴇᴀᴅpan, ‘Yeah, you mean like a podcast or something.’

But Tina clarified that she doesn’t consider Good Hang a side hustle because it still counts as work, even if it’s not the kind of acting or comedy Amy is best known for. 

Instead, she was annoyed by celebrities who hock products that are outside of their expertise and don’t have any connection to their work or art.

‘Like if I had a rosé,’ Amy helpfully added.

‘If you already have $200 million,’ Tina said stars didn’t need to be working to increase their wealth even further. 

But Amy said that Gen Z doesn’t ‘judge’ side hustles, which may have emboldened some stars to launch their extraneous products. 

Then Tina joked that she does have her line of ‘children’s medications,’ before recalling seeing ads for homeopathic medicines sold by an actress who was big in the 1980s.

‘Why on earth would I trust an actress for pediatric medications?!’ she seethed.
