Tina Fey And Amy Poehler: See Their Early TV Appearances Before 'Saturday Night Live' (VIDEO)

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the 2013 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday and they certainly have come a long way.

Before the comediennes starred on "30 Rock" and "Parks and Recreation" respectively or became staples of "Saturday Night Live" together, Fey and Poehler had humble TV starts.

One of Fey's earliest small screen appearances -- if not the first -- was a commercial for Mutual Savings Bank. The ad, which dates back to 1995, features Fey's analysis of the many meanings of "hi"/"high," while she sports a very era-appropriate haircut, dangling earrings and a vest that just defies description.

Poehler's early TV resume includes a spot on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and a couple episodes of MTV's short-lived comedy "Apartment 2F," but she also had a small part on a 1998 episode of "Spin City." Poehler had a few lines as Susan, a woman clad in an awesomely '90s blue suit, who was looking to rent out a room in Carter's (Michael Boatman) apartment.

Tune in to see Tina Fey and Amy Poehler -- wearing far more stylish clothes -- when they host the 2013 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, January 13 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. EST on NBC.
