In Muppets Most Wanted, Fey plays Nadya, a Russian prison guard.

Her 30 Rock character, Liz Lemon, was parodied on Sesame Street as an actual lemon in a season 39 parody entitled 30 Rocks. Additionally, an Anything Muppet caricature of Fey appeared in the 30 Rock episode "Apollo, Apollo."

During the April 11, 2007 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Fey revealed that she had filmed a segment for the upcoming 38th season of Sesame Street. Fey talked with host Conan O'Brien about her (and her daughter Alice Zenobia's) love for Sesame Street.

It taught the concepts of "over," "under," and "through" by filming toddlers crawling around an abandoned construction site. They don't show it anymore because someone has since realized that's nuts.)[2]”
