TIna Fey has made TV history, delivering the opening monologue on the debut episode of “SNL U.K.”

As she herself noted on Saturday’s inaugural show, she was now “the youngest person ever to host ‘SNL U.K.’,” to cheers from the live audience. “Here in the U.K., you might know me as the teacher from ‘Mean Girls,’ or you might remember a long time ago when I played Sarah Palin on ‘SNL’ U.S., or maybe you feel like you recognize me as the lady from the show ‘Veep,’ and that’s fine too.”
