Tina Fey won the best actress award in a comedy series and writing for a comedy series for 30 Rock on Sunday at the 60th Annual Emmy Awards.

“I’m very proud to be a writer. I wouldn’t have had any of the other jobs I’ve had if I hadn’t been a writer,” Fey gushed.

Fey and her pregnant Baby Mama costar Amy Poehler, took a shot at Eva Longoria Parker before presenting Jeremy Piven with best supporting actor in a comedy series.

“When are you due?” Fey asked Poehler, Poehler responded, “that’s so rude, I just gained weight for a role.”

Longoria recently denied pregnancy speculation by saying that she had to gain weight for her role on Desperate Housewives.

Despite all presenters being told not to mention the current election, some found a way to sneak in some references.

“I really look forward to the next administration, whoever it is,” Jon Stewart said as he accepted the best variety, music or comedy series award for The Daily Show “I have nothing to follow that. I just really look forward to the next administration.”

While presenting with Stewart, Stephen Colbert pulled out a bag of prunes and said, “America needs prunes. It may not be a young, sexy plum. Granted, it’s shriveled and at times hard to swallow. But this dried-up old prune has the experience we need.”
