Page Six has a story today that says Saturday Night Live head honcho Lorne Michaels was so ticked off that NBC was giving the green light to Aaron Sorkin's behind the scenes look at an SNL-ish show (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) that he demanded that NBC also give the green light to Tina Fey's sitcom about the behind the scenes goings on at an SNL-ish show, 30 Rock. Michaels thinks that SNL pretty much "made" NBC, and he couldn't believe that the network would pick up a show that was a satire of it.[via TV Tattle]
