A new 30 Rock thread because I can't find the old one

The Liz/Kriss handyman roleplay was fantastic, esp. the "Whatever!" and accompanying gestures.

haha yeah i love that LL seems to get off on man-on-man action (mythbusters, "two male centaurs kissing")

"You are being so transvaginal right now!"

I lolled so hard @ that

Avail 4 java manana per Jack.

Deets 2 follow,

Kev.

God this show is so awesome. Lol'd at LL's Sonny & Cher impersonation.

Ahem.

the Woggles song at the end of last weeks episode had me dying. i had to watch it twice i was laughing so hard. this show is just so fucking brilliant.

Who else wants Kevin to die horribly so that Liz and Criss can adopt Kat?

BTW, what did Liz and Criss say at the same time at the end of the episode?

"We should think about kids" but in different words

yeah my wife turned to me and started saying something as if the episode was over and i was like WAIT and rewound it because i caught a couple words and realized it was going to be incredible

All of the white power references going on with the Woggles were pretty funny as well.

okay they should just do every show live IMO

this is nuts!

holy shit funniest episode in years

Banjo!

alec baldwin, national treasure

chris parnell almost made me die by choking

Zou bisou bisou!

"i know we're live. i want people to know."

Fallon was the only weak link.

There were no flaws...

but fred armisen redeemed his scene xp

I'm glad they've rebounded so hardcore from their late-season slump last year. Totes agreed that they should just do it live every week.

With Jon Hamm in blackface, of course.

loved that super obvious honeymooners bit

Oh man, the Hamm bits just killed me.

i could not believe that was Hamm!

St. Ray Ray's

BLATHOLIC CHURCH

Love Sue completely corpsing after the first Hamm and Tracy bit.

I think Donald Glover was my favourite moment. Can't wait to download the west coast version! I remember there being enough differences in the previous live show ot keep me entertained.

Had to explain Sinead O'Connor reference to a coworker! She's 32!

Everybody was so totally on fire, it was great

I would watch the hell out of a sketch comedy show with this cast

cannot stop lol'ing at dr spaceman

I was thinking that last night too! I guess Baldwin has a bit of SNL experience, Pete & Liz were in a sketch troupe together.. they were all great. Pete & Jack full-on making out at the end? Why not?

oops xp

Glover was pretty great.

Pete & Jack full-on making out at the end?
whaaaaa?

On 3 October 1992, O'Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest. She sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War", which she intended as a protest over the sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church, by changing the lyric "racism" to "child abuse."[25] She then presented a photo of Pope John Paul II to the camera while singing the word "evil", after which she tore the photo into pieces, said "Fight the real enemy", and threw the pieces towards the camera.[26]

Saturday Night Live had no foreknowledge of O'Connor's plan; during the dress rehearsal she held up a photo of a refugee child. NBC Vice President of Late Night Rick Ludwin recalled that when he saw O'Connor's action he "literally jumped out of [his] chair." SNL writer Paula Pell recalled personnel in the control booth discussing the cameras cutting away from the singer.[27] The audience was completely silent, with no booing or applause;[28] executive producer Lorne Michaels recalled that "the air went out the studio". Michaels, who ordered that the applause sign not be used, described the incident as "on a certain level, a betrayal", but also "a serious expression of belief."[27]

A nationwide audience saw O'Connor's live performance, which the New York Daily News's cover called a "HOLY TERROR".[27] NBC received more than 500 calls on Sunday[29] and 400 more on Monday, with all but seven criticizing O'Connor;[28] the network received 4,400 calls in total.[30] Contrary to rumour, NBC was not fined by the Federal Communications Commission for O'Connor's act; the FCC has no regulatory power over blasphemy.[30] NBC did not edit the performance out of the West coast tape-delayed broadcast that night,[31] but reruns of the episode use footage from the dress rehearsal.[30] On 24 April 2010, MSNBC aired the live version during an interview with O'Connor on The Rachel Maddow Show. In 1993 issue of The Irish Times O'Connor wrote a public letter where she asked people to "stop hurting" her.

As part of SNL's apology to the audience, during his opening monologue the following week, host Joe Pesci held up the photo, explaining that he had taped it back together. He then tore up another photo - of O'Connor herself - to huge applause. Pesci also said that if it had been his show, "I would have gave her such a smack."[32]

In a 2002 interview with Salon, when asked if she would change anything about the SNL appearance, O'Connor replied, "Hell, no!"[33] In 2010, TV Guide Network listed the incident at No. 24 on their list of 25 Biggest TV Blunders.[34]

whaaaaa?

Right at the very, very end before they cut to commercial, Jack and Pete grabbed each other and started making out. It was hilarious.

O_o totally missed that!

if they turn that into a plot line I am gonna die laughing

a hoy hoy: there ya go! That happened when I was 10, but I was an SNL kid (who loved Nothing Compares 2 U!)

IIRC they had Jan Hooks parodying her within a couple of weeks on the Weekend Update segment

lol that is stupid

jack+pete didn't make out in the second version ('west' i guess?). do snl do two performances? i guess i'll never understand american tv/timezones. paul mccartney >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> kim kardashian as a surprise guest tho.

other changes, (yes i am nerdy enough to watch them both, also its raining and i've just woke up): amy poelher gets a dig at jack's mum in on the prank call, hamm isn't the news guy (brian williams? is that his name?), dr. spaceman is a nazi in one and a corrupting homosexual in the other, jack isn't nixon but instead a fruity looking pop-out, jenna does one song and danny the other...

I wondered where cheyenne (danny) had been! singapore smuggling prison!

oh i was wondering why tina thanked cheyenne jackson at the end of the east coast broadcast because i hadn't noticed him in the episode
