For making nerdiness semi-cool and acceptable in society. For bringing horn-rimmed glasses back into fashion. For making it okay for women to be caustically witty or acerbic. For using the term “nerds” as a subsitute for cursing. For bringing TV-obsessed, cheese-eating ladies into the world of television. For breaking the glass ceiling for female comedy writers and becoming the first female head writer of Saturday Night Live. For painting a realistic portrait of single life. For articulating our inner insecurities and anxieties about love, sex and romance through the character of Liz Lemon. For reminding the world that intelligence and hard work do equate to success. 

Tina Fey, we are grateful and we salute you. Happy birthday.
