How did Tina get her scar?
Appearently, Tina addressed this in a 2001 NY Times article. “She started as a co-anchor for Weekend Update with a cast member, Jimmy Fallon, last year, wearing her navy suit and trademark glasses. Her other trademark is a scar that runs along the left side of her face, although she won’t discuss it. “It’s a childhood injury that was kind of grim,” she said. “And it kind of bums my parents out for me to talk about it.”
So what’s the real story? A reliable source told me that before her days on SNL, she was making the rounds on the professional lawn dart circuit. While she never achieved the world fame of the top-ranked Rob Finkelstein, she was able to break into the top 10 in the New Jersey Lawn Dart Association (NJLDA) in the early 1990s. A tragic event unfolded just before the 1992 mid-Atlantic tournament when Tonya Harding’s boyfriend jumped her outside the White Castle on Burlington Avenue in eastern Connecticut. The scar resulted from the ensuing scuffle and Tina decided to give up on her dream of becoming the world’s top-ranked female lawn dart thrower. Soon after, she settled for a gig on the late-night low-budget cable show.
As an aside, until writing this fascinating story, I had no idea Tina Fey even had a scar. And I sure can’t see it in the picture above. Meanwhile, here’s my shameless SEO plug for a free Kim Possible sex comic. Whatever that is.
