After Tina Fey and Amy Poehler put on a good show at the Golden Globes, the fans reached a consensus that they should hold everything.

But, when asked about hosting the Oscars, Tina Fey said there is no chance. 

"It's too hard of a gig, especially for a woman... the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone . . . no way."

Even when they asked if there was a slight chance, she said, "I wish I could tell you there was."

Dave Chappelle did a suprise routine at a New York comedy club Tuesday night, and was joined onstage by Chris Rock. After talking for awhile, they began to talk about going on tour together. Chapelle said, quote, "After next Tuesday, I'm free for the next...like...11 years." Rock said he'd be free to set up dates after Halloween. 

Nothing is official as of yet, but it would be awesome to see these titans of stand-up go on tour together.
