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

I'm glad the west coast got cheyenne jackson singing the theme song, like last year, but smh at getting kim kardashian over mccartney. the west coast version ended on a bum note, kim delivered her final line badly and then the characters just stood there looking embarrassed until they faded out.

So glad to have seen the east coast version, I'm disappointed that 30 rock would validate that vile piece of trash in any way.

hahaha that actually sounds kind of hilarious

When I saw Savannah Guthrie doing the West Coast feed of NBC Nightly News, my first thought was: Oh, Williams must be doing the live 30 Rock episode tonight. I guess he was only on the West Coast version though.

stop giving this person a career, you're just encouraging her!

I'm doubly surprised, given Fey's comments about working with Paris Hilton on SNL. I figured she had a very low tolerance for no-talent fame whores.

ratings for this were kind of grim. shame.

tbh I have little difficulty believing it is easier to be around and work with Kim Kardashian than Paris Hilton

xpost oh no bad ratings! maybe they'll keep showing it for another six years then.

omg hamm "I'SE DONE STOLE DIS CATFISH!"

i found that whole bit to be funny and troubling

the degree to which he commits to it is the best

Kenneth's whole setup to that bit was amazing: "NBC felt it would be too alarming to the audience to have more than one black man appear on the show at a time, a policy they continue to use today!"

Frank replaced by Fred Armisen in wig & "Frank 2.0" on hat in scene before fake Laugh-in!

"st ray ray's blatholic church"

another gag i missed i guess!

probably okay to watch it again!

this was really really funny yaaay!

i went back and rewatched the Hamm/Jordan bits three times last night!

that weird face Hamm pulls in the 3rd segment in the shot before he yells "BANJO!" fucking killed me!

haha i am totally watching this again later

i watched east coast followed immediately by west coast

lol

Watched the east coast one on Hulu last night and it was so much funnier than I had expected it to be. The wife and I have been yelling BANJO at each other off and on all day.

BANJO is transcendent, but I thought on the whole the episode was a dud.

gtfo

I loved the way he pronounced, "I was a Tuskeegee Air-man."

This is debasing to the both of us.

OK, my Hulu must be broken, because I've watched both versions, and it's Kim Kardashian and some old lesbian. Where's Paul McCartney?

paul mcartney is ushered in by kenneth during the first few minutes of the east coast version

Kenneth the Page ...in the 70s

ooh, missed that, ta

He apparently appeared on both coast versions; I didn't notice either. Browsing reddit as I wait for a file to process...

yeah i loved that line so much -- was maybe defensive to make sure iirc tracy, grizz, dot com and toofer were all in the room when that line was spoken, but w/e they can go ahead and pat themselves on the back while zinging network tv in general

Kenneth looking v. creepy in that.

tracy must have been over on the next set

it's weird that the theme of this show celebrating live tv is that live tv is proof that ... progress never happened, i guess

well it makes perfect sense that 30 rock would mix celebration with self-deprecation and pessimism

(i mean, okay, one of the show's recurring and central ironies is that liz lemon's belief that her show accomplishes anything is on a diegetic level constantly and consistently exposed ... but we know that liz lemon is a character played by etc etc etc.)

xpost yeah, i don't want to make it ... one-note in that way

this vs 'community' is like the textbook example of motivated parody vs pastiche

So how do they get all these babies to throw stinkeyes so well?

practice

The actor in the role of "Virginia" is actually a graduate of The Actors' Studio and won a Golden Globe in 1992, also for playing a baby.

this was almost as funny as the first Queen of Jordan episode, and just as annoying. it's hard to stand that Bravo style being aped so perfectly that it captures what's awful about the real shows, like the incessant flashbacks and character cards and crap

d'fwine: please d'fwink responsibly

died

Nhex OTM. It was funny, but it was so note-perfect that it's a little hard to watch (if you loathe that type of show with every fiber of your being, anyway).
