Someone out there owes Tina Fey one heck of a thank-you note, but that person has no idea why.Wednesday, she opened up about a recent incident that made her an unlikely lifesaver.Earlier this year, Fey and her family decided lockdown in a New York City apartment left them feeling cooped up —— so they rented a house with a backyard, a view of the Hudson River and, as they soon realized, a strange sound coming from the distance.
“The first morning that we were there, I was standing outside ... with my coffee, and I just hear something going, ‘Haaalp,’” she recalled, wondering, “Is that ‘help’ or a bird? Is that a person saying, ‘Help’?” She asked Alice her opinion on the sound and eventually enlisted husband Jeff Richmond as a third listener, before they finally came to the consensus that someone was probably in distress. They then called the police and learned they were right.

“Never kayak!” she insisted, then noting that the popular activity was only part of the problem. She also had something to say about the waterway that stretches from New York to New Jersey. “The Hudson? That’s not like a stream. It’s like a rat toilet!"
