Ellie Kemper announces pregnancy on 'The Tonight Show,' says Tina Fey knew before her mom

It's official: there's a baby on the way for Ellie Kemper.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt actress made the announcement on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and shared some surprising insight as to who was in the know before her own family members.

The show's host responded to the news by gifting his guest with a pint of his Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, "The Tonight Dough."

Kemper joked about needing to disclose her pregnancy while filming season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which returns to Netflix on April 15, saying that she told executive producer Tina Fey about the pregnancy before she told her own mother.

Could this qualify Fey for godmother status? We think Kemper couldn't make a better choice.
