SNL opened its season this year with a hilarious spoof of Girls, starring Tina Fey as Blerta, an Albanian woman who moves in with Dunham's character Hannah Horvath. Dunham called the skit a "true honor."
Hopefully that means Dunham's open to a sequel of the skit, and they'll somehow get Fey back, because why not?
While Girls was critically-acclaimed, the show has gotten backlash for its use of nudity and self-centered characters who shed negative light on the "millennial" generation.
Haters aside, we just want to see a Dunham/Noël Wells face-off to see who actually makes the better Hannah.
