Comedy icons Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are bringing the laughs in 2025 with their Restless Leg Tour, which will make a stop at Texas Trust CU Theatre at Grand Prairie on Saturday, April 26.

The tour, which initially started in spring 2023, is adding 12 more dates, starting on March 29 in Orlando, Florida. In addition to Grand Prairie, they'll also perform in Houston on April 25.

Fans will see the duo celebrate their 30 years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories, and conversational entertainment.

Both Saturday Night Live alums, the two comedians went on to have extremely successful careers post-SNL.

Fey is known for creating and starring as Liz Lemon in 30 Rock, and for writing the screenplay for the hit comedy film, Mean Girls, which Fey subsequently adapted for Broadway and again as a musical feature film.

Poehler is known for her starring role on the Emmy-nominated NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation, and as the voice of Joy in the Inside Out film series.

The shows will start about a month after the 50th anniversary SNL celebration on February 16, where both actors will surely be present.

Tickets for the new tour dates go on sale on Friday, January 31 at 10 am at tinaamytour.com. Fans can also access the presale early starting on Wednesday, January 29 at 10 am with the code RESTLESS.

Dallas Morning News editor will leave after less than 4 years

The editor of The Dallas Morning News is leaving for other pastures: Executive Editor Katrice Hardy is leaving her post to become CEO of The Marshall Project, a nonprofit focused on criminal justice.

Hardy, 51, has been with the paper for three-and-a-half years; she began in August 2021. According to an announcement, she'll stay at the newspaper through February, and start at The Marshall Project in March.

The Marshall Project is an online outlet launched 10 years ago with a mission to “expose wrongs, bringing them to the attention of officials who can take action."

It's headquartered in New York with news teams in Cleveland, St. Louis, and Jackson, Mississippi. They publish a magazine distributed to more than 1,000 prisons and jails nationwide and produce a video series for incarcerated audiences.

Hardy has been on the board since 2022. Her position is a new one that will oversee both the newsroom and business sides — tasks previously co-led by a president and editor-in-chief.

Marshall Project President Carroll Bogert informed the board of her intention to step down while the search was underway for a new editor-in-chief to replace Susan Chira.

“I wanted to give the board the option to unify The Marshall Project’s staff structure, and that is what they indeed chose to do,” Bogert said, calling Hardy "an inspired choice to lead both the journalism and the business of The Marshall Project into its second decade."

While at the DMN, Hardy oversaw an increase in reporters to cover development, food and restaurants, high school sports, and local government. She helped expand The News’ community-funded journalism program, launching Arts Access in partnership with KERA to cover arts in Dallas-Fort Worth through the lens of access and equity, as well as increasing coverage of transportation, faith, science, and southern Dallas.

According to a story in The Dallas Morning News, she will stay in Dallas and work remotely.
