   > Question: has a female guest ever done In The Year 2000?   
      
   I have to think that over the years they've had at least a few women do it,   
   although I can't think of any off the top of my head. With the help of   
   Google Groups, I turned up Tina Fey (15 August 2007) as a recent instance,   
   although apparently she had to be carried in by a male (Fabio) before they   
   could start the bit.   
      
   It's true that nearly all of the guests who have done "ItY2K" have been   
   men. Not sure why this is. Perhaps it's because Andy did it for so long,   
   and he set a template that has been hard to shake off since he left. Since   
   Andy's departure, it seems that most of the guest "ItY2K"ers have been   
   comedians (who are primarily male), frequent guests, or other friends of   
   the show such as Andy himself. Some other examples: Mr. T, Bob Saget, Bob   
   Costas, Will Arnett, William Shatner, Will Ferrell.   
      
   Also, I have to say that the druid robe and stark uplighting of the faces   
   are not exactly flattering to women.
