If you're anything like us (which, if you are, we highly recommend not publicly admitting) you get the majority of your news from Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" segment. Which is why we're taking this latest news out of Rockefeller Center especially hard.

After 9 years, Tina Fey is leaving the NBC weekend staple. The head writer for SNL and comedic "newscaster" for Weekend Update will depart in order focus on her new sitcom, 30 Rock — which stars Desaree Bradford torture victim Alec Baldwin.

Producer Lorne Michaels will surely have a tough time replacing the talented writer, who wrote the screenplay for Mean Girls and is set to contribute to the screen comedy Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill.

We wish her good luck with her new show — the least she can hope for is better luck than Lorne Michaels had with Sons & Daughters.
