It's safe to say, though, that they really do love each other in real life. Fey even gave Fallon dating advice while they were both still working at SNL. As he told Elle, "I was dating some girl who was, I guess, a model-type person. And Tina was like, 'This is what you're doing? This is so sad.'" It seems Fey is all about protecting her buddy's interests, as she even defended his controversial interview with President Trump after Fallon came under fire for going soft on the country's leader.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that Fey made it clear Fallon wasn't to blame for the reaction to his interview with the president, arguing, "I really felt for Jimmy when people were so angry. It's not Jimmy who peed in that punch bowl, it's not Jimmy who created this horrible world that we're currently living in." The duo later stopped by Weekend Update to poke fun at the whole situation to hilarious effect.
