AceShowbiz - Tina Fey showed that she could fail at something. The multitalented actress didn't manage to complete a task at so-called LaTina Fey challenge on the fourth season premiere of "Billy on the Street".
In a sneak-peak video of the show's premiere, host Billy Eichner challenged the "Saturday Night Live" alum to name 20 Latino actors in 60 seconds. If Tina managed to complete the task, Billy would give her an Oscar. "I'm going to give you this Oscar, you have to act like you're giving an Oscar speech and you'll have 1 minute to name as many Latino performers as you can think of," said Billy.
As Tina held the Oscar, she began to name the performers. However, the usually-brilliant actress even failed at recalling the name of the lead actress from "Jane the Virgin". "Gina Rodriguez!" Billy shouted at her. After failing at the first name, she could name some performers smoothly such as Eva Longoria, Lou Diamond Phillips, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Lopez.
The 45-year-old actress was laughing as she had a hard time completing the task. Meanwhile, Billy vigorously cheered her as saying, "Keep going! Yes! Latinos! Yes!" When there were 6 seconds remaining, Billy told Tina, "One more Latino." On the other hand, Tina who was shaky yelled, "Oh, God! Oh, No!"
"Tina Fey finally failed at something! She's on the ground," Billy said as the "Mean Girls" actress didn't manage to complete the challenge. Though Tina lost the challenge, Billy gave her a prize which was "Brokeback Mountain"-themed pot holders. The holders had "You didn't go up there to fish" and "I'm not no queer" written on them.
Tina defended her defeat as saying, "I'm panic! I'm panic!" However, Billy thought that her defeat was good for many people. "I think this is comforting to people who'll see that it's actually O.K. that even Tina Fey is flawed," he said. After Billy thanked her, Tina hilariously ran away with the Oscar.
The fourth season of the show will premiere October 8 on TruTV.
