In honor of her sixth time returning to host Saturday Night Live, Tina Fey is treating fans to an animated trip down memory lane—albeit a fairly truncated one. The minute-long promo for this week’s season finale tracks a cartoon Fey’s journey from Chicago to New York, where she climbed the comedy ladder from writer, to head writer, to cast member on the acclaimed late-night sketch show. “Then, I got to make other stuff,” she says, succinctly summarizing a career that includes projects like 30 Rock, Mean Girls, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Great News (to name a few).
