Tina Fey has some choice zingers for disgraced producer Scott Rudin.
The writer and actress let her inner mean girl out as she ripped Rudin while speaking to a crowd in Central Park, which had gathered for the Roundabout Theater’s 2021 gala.
Fey’s first shot at Rudin — who has been accused of abusing staff and generally being a Hollywood bully — came as she introduced pal and former “30 Rock” co-star Jane Krakowski.
“In 2016, she was famously dragged across the stage in ‘She Loves Me’ while doing a split,” Fey said, before quickly adding, “Not by Scott Rudin — it was part of the plan.”
The “Mean Girls” creator also made a reference to Rudin’s alleged hurling of a baked potato at a beleaguered assistant’s head.
“You’ve never met anyone who works harder than Jane, no one holds herself to a higher standard than Jane,” the “SNL” alum said. “She’s a consummate professional. She would never throw a baked potato at her assistant because Jane would never touch a baked potato.”
And before Krakowski took to the stage Fey threw in one more joke about the bizarre story floating around earlier this year that Krakowski was dating conspiracy-peddling My Pillow salesman Mike Lindell.
“Please welcome my dear friend or, as her absolutely never was boyfriend would call her, ‘my pillow,’ Jane Krakowski,” Fey joked.
Before the concert, Vanessa Williams helped auction off items like tickets to the Tribeca Film Festival and a chance to sup with Debra Messing, which went for an astonishing $100,000.
