Alice also kept the family entertained during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a March 2020 appearance on The Tonight Show, Fey revealed that Alice had been hosting themed dinners for their family and held a talent show over Zoom. The event’s participants included the children of Fey’s friends, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler and Ana Gasteyer.
Fey and Richmond have said they occasionally use their star-studded list of friends to try and win over Alice and Penelope, who aren’t impressed by their parents’ talents. “You’re never cool [to your kids],” Fey told PEOPLE in 2023.
“We watch TV and we go, ‘We know that person. You like that show? We know them,’ ” Fey continued. “And then they say, ‘No you don’t.’ ”
As a teenager, Alice and her mother bonded by watching SNL together. “It’s great,” Fey told Variety in May 2021. “She has a very good comedy education, so she’s a discerning viewer.”

It seems Penelope also inherited her mother’s funny bone. In May 2020, she crashed Fey’s at-home appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, making an “L” on her forehead.
“She just called us losers!” Fey said as her daughter laughed and ran off. “This meant ‘loyalist’ in colonial times, so that’s on you!”
