Let us celebrate Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's 20 years of being "Tina and Amy," best friends who coincidentally became two of TV's most beloved comic actresses. And even though we've only really known them for about half that time, it feels like forever, as often happens with paldom. Their best friendship is our best friendship. It reminds us that people are kind and funny and able to photobomb each other. Before their first time hosting the Globes in 2013, we walked you through the history of mankind's greatest friendship since Jesus and whichever apostle he liked best, so with them set to release Sisters this weekend, we updated it yet again.
