Mom Tina Fey didn’t have to think twice about taking a role in the new Sesame Street DVD.

Mom to 3-year-old Alice, Tina Fey, knew that she had to take the role she was offered for the new Sesame Street DVD, Elmo and the Bookaneers.

The actress told Parents magazine,

“Having grown up watching the show, you don’t think twice. If they call and ask if you want to be on Sesame Street, you’re just like, ‘Absolutely! When and where?’ I was excited when I hear I was going to be with Elmo, because Elmo’s a rock star! And when I got to the set I found out what a juicy part I had - a pirate captain. Just the coolest.”

When asked if her daughter, Alice likes Sesame Street, she replied, “We do [watch Sesame Street] sometimes, but we’ve actually tried to cut out morning-time TV because it makes her a bit antsy. She definitely knows the characters, though. She, like most children, is in love with Elmo. And she also likes Murray.”

She also dished on her daughter’s favorite books for story time. “We’ve been reading Little Bear books - he’s sweet. And my old Babar books from when I was a kid. But the number-one story in our household is Peter Pan.”
