Tina Fey may have pulled from her own experience while writing “Mean Girls.”
Ahead of the release of her newly revised film, which serves as the musical pairing to the popular 2004 hit, the 53-year-old comedian opened up about her own high school experience on "TODAY" on Wednesday.
“I was definitely kind of a theater geek, an absolute dork,” she told Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “I did not take my brother to my prom, I will draw the line there ... I just was a good student.”
There’s one “Mean Girls” character in particular whom Fey said she most closely identifies with: Janice.
“I do think I talked a lot of smack about people that I thought that I was the victim in every situation, and really I was a monster,” she said.
