Hey all - I was just chatting with a friend and I COULD SWEAR that on my last rewatch of Community I noted that they mention Tina Fey by name in one of the episodes in Season 6, or maybe Season 5. I can't remember the context and I haven't been able to find it on google or searching this sub. Can anyone confirm this? Or maybe I am confusing myself with something else I recently watched...

I don't remember this, but she mentioned Community in 30 Rock.
And Abed mentions 30 rock in s6e13
Tina Fey’s character on 30 rock mentions both Donald Glover and community. He also plays some background characters
he plays tracy in one of the live episodes. he was a writer there. i’m pretty sure that’s what put him on the map with nbc casting for community.
I saw an article once refer to Tina as his mentor. She says a line in one of Childish Gabinos earlier songs
Not a line, a whole verse that is extremely characteristic of herself. Very funny
"This is the part where I'm supposed to drop the n-word. But I'm not comfortable. I'm not gonna do that!"

He mentions 30 Rock in the finale...
In the Office, Michael thinks he sees Tina Fey outside Rockefeller centre but it’s just someone with dark hair?
And then Conan walks by. Classic.
Who is Conan O’Brien? And why is she so sad?
Abed's PA job is on a show about a game studio that's 30 Rock meets IT Crowd, that could be it
I’m positive this is what OP is thinking of, from the finale
I remember that to. I remember abed saying something about tina fey
No.
The dean briefly shows up as Tina Turner at one episode
They often say things and rhyme them with names of actors and actresses. I swear somebody says at some point, "No way, Tina Fey."
Nope, unless its a deleted scene.
At one point the grifting professor says “because the internet” maybe its that?
Not according to my copy of the show's lines.
So weird! I did a search in scripts for seasons 5 and 6 and didn't come up with anything there either, but... I SWEAAAAAR.
This sounds familiar to me too but I’ll defer to those who have checked scripts.
Closest thing I can think of is the reverse where Tina Fey mentions Donald Glover:
Big fan of both shows
I remember this too! Don’t remember where from though
I don't think so. I have watched the show at least 20 times and never heard her name, and I'm a big Tina Fey fan so I would have most likely picked up on that.
Over 20 Community rewatches and a huge Tina Fey fan? There is a very real chance that you are me.
Me? Is that you?
But… you’re me!
