Watching 30 Rock

With the writer’s strike dragging on and on and on (Come on, producers! Come on AMPTP! Get back to the table and give the writers what they deserve! There is only so much Deal or No Deal I can watch!) there hasn’t been much new 30 Rock news to report. But as I was cruising around on the webs, I found and old, very brief interview with Tina Fey on E! online that I hadn’t seen yet before with information regarding season two. This interview came from an earlier, more naive time before writers strikes, insulting offers from the AMPTP and abbreviated seasons of our favorite TV shows. Some of the information, we already know, like about the story arc with Jenna gaining weight from eating pizza every day during her stint in Mystic Pizza: The Musical and the brief mention of Tracy and his ankle bracelet. But this is the most interesting part of the interview, and the subject that I haven’t heard addressed before: will Liz and Jack ever hook up?

The Lemon-Donaghy Romance Begins Five Minutes After Never: Despite their intense chemistry, Tina says there’s no romance—nor any sex—in store for Liz Lemon and her boss, Jack Donaghy, played by Alec Baldwin. “No, never gonna happen. They have great chemistry, I think, but in the writers’ room we always talk about it as Lou Grant and Mary Tyler Moore, or Han Solo and Princess Leia. Lot of chemistry, never happened.”

And thank goodness for that! The Lemon-Donaghy relationship is one of the funniest, sharpest, and most interesting on television right now and I am glad there are no plans, ever, to ruin it with romance or sex. That’s just not funny. This is not Cheers or Who’s the Boss? or Moonlighting. Personally, I enjoy the hints that are sometimes discussed on the Television Without Pity boards suggesting that Grizz is in love with Liz Lemon. (He calls her “Beth.”) That is an interesting storyline!

But the most heartbreaking part of the above interview is the following quote from Fey:

Begin at the Beginning: It’s early yet, but the writing staff is hard at work. There are no complete scripts, but according to Tina, “We’ve broken a lot of stories, and then I get in there with the writers next week.”

We all know what happened next — those writers were forced to shut down their computers and pick up picket signs. And it makes me sad to think of all the funny ideas (and non-romantic Lemon-Donaghy interactions) that we won’t get to witness this season.

Dear Tina Fey,

Congratulations, Tina Fey, on winning the 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. You know how excited we are for you here at Watching 30 Rock both as bloggers who write a site about your show and also as big fans of both the show, you, and all your other work. We are so happy for you! Finally getting the recognition you deserve as an amazing comedic actress.

We were really, really bummed however, that the SHOW didn’t win the Golden Globe this year, losing to HBO’s Extras which I must admit I have never seen, even though I dig Ricky Gervais. Do you watch that show, Tina Fey? Do you watch any of the other shows nominated in your category? (Californication, Pushing Daisies, Entourage). If you do watch them, do you watch them because you like them or did you just start watching after the nominations so you could check out the competition? It’s okay, Tina Fey, you can tell me. We were also really bummed that Alec Baldwin didn’t win in his category, because he is just getting funnier and funnier with every episode, much like the show itself. And he did do an excellent job finishing his muffin. Please tell him that from us.

So I have another question for you, Tina Fey. Did you even bother watching the pseudo-Golden Globes broadcast tonight, with the douchey hosts from Access Hollywood just standing there telling us who won and offering their “commentary” like we even care what they think. What a joke. I mean, awards shows are always too long and have stupid jokes and boring moments and the occasional pompous speech, but dammit, that is why we watch them! To see who shows up in a stupid dress or drunk or who didn’t bother to comb their hair. I’m sure that is at least part of the reason you like to go too!

So congratulations, Tina Fey. We would totally like to see your Golden Globes some time and I totally don’t mean that in a dirty way.

Stay righteous, Tina Fey.

Within the past few weeks, two couples who are my oldest, closest friends have had babies, so I totally have babies on the mind. Something about holding infants just a few days old and sniffing the top of their heads just has made me all smiley and stuff. Naturally, then, I got excited by when I heard that the new Tina Fey movie Baby Mama is being released in the next couple of months.

Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook has long put her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she’s finally determined to have a kid on her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough … After learning from the steely head of their surrogacy center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top pre-schools. But the executive’s well-organized strategy is turned upside down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live. An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as structured Kate tries to turn vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant mom. In a battle of wills, they will struggle their way through preparation for the baby’s arrival. And in the middle of this tug-of-war, they’ll discover two kinds of family: the one you’re born to and the one you make.

I have to say though, as much as I do look forward to this movie, I look forward to it with some trepidation. Why, because Tina Fey didn’t write this damn movie. She stars in it, which, awesome. And her former “Weekend Update” co-anchor Amy Poehler is also in the movie, along with Sigourney Weaver, Greg Kinnear, Maura Tierney, and Dax Shepard. But the movie was written by the same dude who wrote Undercover Brother which I don’t remember winning any Golden Globes. And he also wrote Thunderbirds which I don’t think I have even heard of. The movie is also directed by the same guy who directed a couple of the Austin Powers movies, a funny series, but not exactly the intelligent, sharp wit we’ve come to expect from our girl Tina. And maybe this is unfair of me to say, but I have to say I feel a bit uneasy about a movie (even a comedy, which I think often can be more poignant with some subjects) about a woman deciding to become a mother that was both written and directed by men. I just hope it’s not the same old bullshit jokes about hysterical pregnant women and hormones making them crazy. (I’m looking at you, Judd Apatow, because even though I loved the film, you walked a fine line with Knocked Up.)

But I have faith in Tina Fey, and I don’t think she’s just doing this for the cash and hey, if it gives more exposure to 30 Rock, then that’s a good thing. But if we get that tired old “water breaking in a ridiculous place” joke then I might be demanding my money back.

Greetings fellow 30 Rockers! As I’m sure you all know, tonight’s episode is a rerun of “Seinfeld Vision,” the first episode of the second season, which featured Jerry Seinfeld as a guest star. This episode also led off some of this season’s product placement, as Seinfeld’s Bee Movie was promoted heavily. (We still haven’t seen the movie, so I guess that promotional money was wasted, at least in our household.) If you missed the episode, you can read the recap or watch the full episode at NBC.com.

In other 30 Rock news, our beloved Tina Fey was named one of the 11 Most Influential Women of 2007 by MSN.

Tina Fey is like that super-talented, super-smart, super-pretty girl you knew in high school who you really wanted to hate, but you just couldn’t because she was also super-nice. Fey was head writer at Saturday Night Live for years, then used that experience as fodder to create the Emmy-winning show 30 Rock, in which she not only stars, but also writes and co-produces. Wearing three hats could make it hard for Fey, as the current Writers’ Guild strike conflicts with her acting/producing roles. But just like that girl in high school, she seems to be keeping her integrity while not pissing too many people off. Now that’s true talent.

Tina is in good company, as this list includes Hilary Rodham Clinton, Benazir Bhutto, and Pat Summitt. On the other hand, the list also includes Elizabeth Hasselbeck (famous for arguing with Rosie O’Donnell), Carrie Underwood (famous for dating Tony Romo), Miley Cyrus (famous for, huh, something Disney-related), and the Obama Girl (famous for being on YouTube.) Quite a mixed bag, but as always, we like to see Tina get the recognition she deserves for being so freaking awesome.

The Golden Globe nominations were announced last week and to our great delight, 30 Rock received three nominations: for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy; Best Performance by an Actress In a Television Series, Musical or Comedy (Tina Fey, of course), and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy (Alec Baldwin, well duh.) Awese! And what did Tina Fey apparently say upon hearing about her nomination?

I am excited and very grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press, and I look forward to being the least glamorous person at the Golden Globe Awards.

Aw, Tina! You know your fans don’t expect you to be glamorous. I dare say that we might be a little disappointed if you went glamorous on us. We expect you to be funky and cool and funny and awesome and, yes, hot. Which you are, every time we see you on TV.

In other Golden Globe/30 Rock news, Alec Baldwin is offering to save the broadcast in the light of the current writer’s strike. See, as long as the writer’s strike is still in full swing, there is no one to write the oh so funny jokes we typically see in award show broadcasts. And with the writer’s strike, there is definitely no chance that someone will finally write some damn funny jokes for the first time in the history of awards shows. So this doesn’t leave much for the actual awards show television airing — just handing out the awards would get boring after a while, I guess. But Alec Baldwin is saving the day by offering to host the awards in his Manhattan apartment:

(From the Huffington Post)

Barring any imminent settlement of the WGA strike, the 2007 Golden Globe Awards will be held at my apartment on the Westside of Manhattan this year. I have cleared all of this with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The HFPA makes only one simple request and that is that you pre-order your meal selection NO LATER than Friday, January 4th, 2008.

The choices are as follows:

1) Tuna Salad, whitefish salad or egg salad (choice of one)

2) Ham, turkey, bologna, swiss cheese (choice of two)

3) Potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw (choice of two)

4) Pickles, relish, mustard, mayo, rye bread…all complimentary.

5) Beverages are as follows: Liter of red or white wine or 6 (six) cold bottles of Amstel (promotional) complimentary.

All other cocktails will be cash bar. (Sprite, Coke, Strawberry YooHoo and Diet Peach Snapple are complimentary)

Please e-mail your food order and e-mail your clip for the show to: TheglobesareatAlecs@AlecBaldwin.com

A quick Red Carpet, hosted by Radioman, will be held at the parking lot of Tavern on the Green before we are all shuttled to my apartment building. ‘Round…5:30-ish? Sound okay?

Looking forward to seeing you all on January 13th at my place.

What? A cash bar? Who would have thought Alec Baldwin would be so cheap. Although maybe celebrities are just as bad as college students when it comes to sucking up free liquor. (I remember my grad school days when a bunch of my fellow classmates got kicked out of a professor’s party after her husband caught them getting into his good vodka. I was never I vodka drinker.) But I will say that six cold bottles of Amstel Light sounds pretty good. I just hope the whole thing gets filmed for a Very Special Episode of MTV’s Cribs.

Cold opening: Jack is in his office (which is decorated for the holidays) when Liz comes in to wish him a Merry Christmas before they break for the holidays. Wait, TV shows get a holiday break, just like in school? I’m in the wrong career. He gives her a Christmas present: a new photo scanner/paper shredder (from GE, of course!) Won’t people just end up shredding their pictures by accident? Yeah, I need one of those for “scanning” my old prom photos.

Frank wheels a big cart filled with various bottles of booze into the writer’s room, already making a pre-apology for all the offensive things he is about to do at the office LucaChristmas Party and offering pre-forgiveness to his coworkers for when they leave him passed out by the elevator. I thank the fates that my office holiday party is over lunch and that we can’t drink because I’m sure my coworkers would just leave me in the parking lot. Everyone is cheering and is totally psyched about the party, especially Cerie who is hoping Frank will reprise is “horny Santa” gag from last year. I guess Frank isn’t gay for Jamie anymore.

Back in Jack’s office, he asks Liz if she has big plans for the holidays. Her family is coming! Yay, we get to meet more Lemons! They are going to see Jersey Boys! Jack can’t understand why Liz isn’t stressed out over her family’s eminent arrival. Her family hasn’t argued since Carter left office! Jack has invited his mother to join him from Florida but she is stranded due to Hurricane Zapato. He points to the big TV on the wall, showing the weather channel, amused the the eye of the storm seems to be right over his mother’s house. So much for paralyzing Irish guilt. He’s going to drive up to Vermont and surprise C.C. ….. or he would be, if Jonathan hadn’t just announced that Jack’s mother had taken a bus to Atlanta and talked Jet Blue into taking a ticket from Amtrak. Damn, she’s good! Jack’s mother is disappointed that Jack is still in the same office, since he is up for that promotion and all. Maybe he should let that dream die. I think Jack should start drinking, pronto. Jack’s mom greets Liz, insults Jack’s girlfriend, insults Liz and gets passive aggressive about her coat, all in the span of about 2.3 seconds. I want to call my Mom and tell her I love her.

Credits. Boop de boop. I love that head turn Jack does, although it seems completely out of character for him.

Next we get one of those AmEx commercials designed to look like part of the show. I don’t get paid to recap those. Moving on!

Liz and Jenna enter the writer’s room and Jenna pretends she didn’t realize tonight was LudaChristmas, except she is totally wearing a slinky dress under her coat. You got us good, Jenna. Liz says she isn’t going to the party because her parents and her brother Mitch are in town. Her brother Mitch has Trauma Induced Niveaphasia — he is stuck in 1985, the day before his senior class skiing trip. I would not want to be trapped in my senior year, hence the desire to shred my prom photos. We get a flashback to meet Mitch (Andy Richter)!

Kenneth the Page comes in to deliver presents from the parent company, Sheinhard Wigs. More photo shredders! Everyone throws them away, but Kenneth is appalled that no one has any Christmas spirit. No one understands Christmas. Just then a stripper arrives, there to have Christmas mints eaten off her body. She appears also to have tuberculosis. I hope they got a discount for that.

Oh grrrrl! Tina Fey has just dissed nasty on Paula Abdul. Tina is in this month’s Playboy (with clothes, c’mon they do have great articles) and in the interview she reveals what a train wreck Abdul is. She said Abdul was “awful” when she hosted the show in 2005.

“I was pregnant [with daughter Alice] at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, ‘She’s a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV,’” Fey dished. She went onto say Abdul was “disastrous … in the way she generally appears to be.” Abdul didn’t even want to play herself in an American Idol sketch so Amy Poehler had to play her (probably with a lot less crazy).

But this is the first time Tina has dropped da bomb on former SNL hosts. Last year she revealed a big old shit bomb about Paris Hilton on the Howard Stern show. When Howard asked her how Paris was as a person, Tina said

“She’s a piece of sh-t. The people at SNL were like maybe she’ll be fun, maybe she won’t take herself so seriously. She takes herself so seriously! She’s unbelievably dumb and so proud of how dumb she is. She looks like a tranny up close.”

Oh! Harsh girl! She went on to say how Paris refused to do a fake sex tape sketch and her main goal was to play her big rival at the time Jessica Simpson, in a sketch. She wanted to make Simpson look fat. Because after all making fat jokes about skinny people is at the heart of middle school humor.

The other person who mildly bore the brunt of the Fey insult machine was Matthew McConaughey who Fey says is nice but doesn’t smell too good. We can see that. Keep the celeb dish coming Tina we like it! Maybe if this whole writer strike thing doesn’t end you can be a guest columnist on our sister blog Trashy Celebs.

So after watching Sunday’s episode of Dexter I was craving more TV last night (go figure). I settled on the end of a train wreck holiday show from a couple years ago on Food network that featured Rachael Ray, Paula Dean, Bobby Flay and others making a meal together. Rachael Ray just doesn’t know when to shut the frack up! But anyway, I stuck around for Iron Chef America and lo and behold, Ms. Tina Fey was one of the guest judges.

Since food network reruns reruns of reruns you should still be able to catch this one. Tina isn’t around much until the judging at the end but the show is worth watching despite being Battle Sugar. Lame! (Japanese chairman Kaga is rolling over in his ruffled blazer).

Guest chef Paula Dean is paired up with Cat Cora and they’re up against Robert Irvine and Tyler Florence (I don’t know who they are but the Robert guy is one of those fat-muscle, muscle-fat guys who thinks he’s in really good shape and insists on wearing tight t-shirts). Anyway, Paula ends up biting that guy because he gets his finger too close to her mouth. When Paula see pork, Paula bite!

Well here is some good news to break through all the bad news regarding the writer’s strike. Our very own Tina Fey has been named among Entertainment Weekly’s Top 25 performers of 2007. Below is a reprint of the article on the EW website:

Photo from EW online.

2007′S CLASS CLOWNS: TINA FEY

It takes a certain self-confidence to play a woman who accidentally dates her third cousin, erroneously assumes her neighbor is a terrorist, and gets called the C-word by a colleague. Especially when said character is based on you. ”I love going to those uncomfortable places,” says Fey, who stars as 30 Rock’s workaholic TV maven and is also the NBC show’s creator and exec producer. ”I’ll go down any weird avenue.” Maybe this year’s surprise Emmy win for best comedy will empower Fey to pursue some dreams for her alter ego. ”Liz Lemon could do an international adoption for a Russian baby and get the paperwork wrong with the European dates and somehow end up with a huge, muscular 13-year-old. Yeah, I could see that.” Hopefully we will too. —Jessica Shaw

Entertainment Weekly what took you so damn long? We’ve known how awesome Tina Fey is for years. And we hope that the extra exposure will help 30 Rock’s ratings and standing with the network. But we also have to say that we are a little bit sorry to have Tina getting such wide exposure … we sort of liked it when she was “our little secret.” But hey, we’d rather share the awesome and have her stay on TV than keep her all to ourselves and have her not on our TV screen anymore. We can’t be selfish!

Tina is in excellent company with the list as well. Others included in the “Class Clowns of 2007″ list are Will Ferrell and Andy McKay of Funny or Die, Judd Apatow and his “crew” (including Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan), The Simpsons, and Vanessa Williams. And writing that, I have to say, how awesome would it be if Tina Fey and Judd Apatow were to work together? Some combination of Mean Girls and Superbad would be awesome. She’s already worked with Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live and we know how (usually) great that could be. And I would dig seeing Vanessa Williams show up as a guest star on 30 Rock (or Tina Fey show up as a guest star on Ugly Betty.) Come on, how about some Entertainment Weekly inspired crossovers here?

Tina Fey, 30 Rock, Entertainment Weekly

Dear Tina Fey,

How are you doing Tina Fey? Sorry we haven’t written in a while. Do you miss us, Tina Fey? Because we are writing to tell you how much we will miss you once the new episodes of 30 Rock have all been shown and there are no more to show because of the writers strike. We will miss you a lot, Tina Fey.

I know this must be a hard time for you, Tina Fey, with the strike and all. I’m sure you are torn between wanting what is best for your writers, yet also not wanting your show to be off the air too long. We know that November its sweeps month, so it’s important that good, funny, quality shows get aired and get good ratings. Yet I know how much you support your writers. We do to, Tina Fey! In fact, in a parallel universe, we like to believe that WE are a couple of your writers!
(more…)

Here’s video of Tina Fey speaking about the writer’s strike and what it might mean for the rest of the season of 30 Rock:

We here at Watching 30 Rock admire writers of all sorts tremendously, and support them in this strike. From my understanding, part of the problem is that writers are finally demanding their fair share from DVD and iTunes sales of television shows. And considering how big television on DVD has become (I know I personally own seasons of The Office, Arrested Development, and The X-Files) I say it’s about time. The foundation of any good show is good writing. The most brilliant actor in the world can’t do anything if you give him or her a shit script. And like Tina says in the video above, this doesn’t just effect the writers and the actors …. there’s the crew, the makeup people, the hair people, the caters, drivers, and probably NBC pages (like Kenneth!)

And of course, for my own selfish reasons, I don’t want the strike to go on. There’s nothing I like more in the winter than crashing on my couch with the DVR remote and catching up on my favorite shows. It’s too early for reruns! There are enough 30 Rock episodes to last the rest of the year and it seems like a lot scripted shows are in the same place. But late night shows like The Late Show with David Letterman or Late Night with Conan O’Brien or even The Colbert Report and The Daily Show are apparently already showing reruns.

So, Tina, and all writers, the fans and couch potatoes of the world unite in support of your strike. And when it’s over, find a way to write about it and make it funny!

Want a chance at stardom? A chance to meet some of the funniest and most cleverist people on television? A chance to stalk Alec Baldwin? A way to be a part of your favorite TV show? Or maybe just a trip to New York City? Well here is your chance!

CharityFolks.com is auctioning a walk-on role on 30 Rock! Included in the prize is two roundtrip tickets to New York City on JetBlue. Proceeds of the auction go to support the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.

Carol Baldwin, of course, is Alec Baldwin’s mother. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990 and later underwent a double mastectomy. In 1996, she founded the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, which to date has funded 47 research grants totaling $2.3 million. Carol serves as Chairperson of the Board and frequently speaks publicly regarding the cause and raising funds to support research. She has been honored in East Setauket, NY when the Carol Baldwin Breast Care Center was named in her honor in 1996. She is also involved with the Onondaga Breast Cancer Mapping Project.

As of this writing, bidding on this auction was at $7,000, so if you have some extra cash in your pocket, why not make a bid? You could be on television AND support a worthy cause! I would be all up in bidding on this mofo, but alas, I work in the non-profit world myself, so I don’t really have an extra $7,000 to spare. But if one of y’all bid and win, hey, let me know, because I have a message or two to pass on to the cast. Starting of course, with our very best wishes to Carol Baldwin for all her good work for this cause.

Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski are in a photo style layout sort of thing in this month’s Instyle magazine. The story called Are you an Introvert or are you an Extrovert has been thoughtfully scanned by a nice livejournal person.

According to the accompanying text, Tina is the introvert which totally comes through with this quote overlayed on a picture of her wearing a stunning white dress. “I like presenting myself, rather than presenting the clothes. If this dress spoke to me it would say ‘Don’t get too drunk. Try to stay as class as I am.’” Nice. What’s also really nice is this picture.

Now excuse me as I go photoshop my head on Jane’s body.

Hello, Tina Fey. How are you doing? I want to apologize in advance if I am sort of grumpy today, Tina Fey. It’s been an aggravating day. Some douchebag smashed my car window and now I have to pay to have it replaced because my deductible is high. That sucks, Tina Fey. But I bet if something like that ever happened to you, you’d find a way to make it funny on 30 Rock. You take Liz Lemons and make Liz Lemonade! (See, that’s a pun! You can totally use that, I don’t mind!)

I have a question for you, Tina Fey, something I’ve wondered about for a while now. What’s on your Tivo, Tina Fey? What shows do you record? What do you have a season pass for? What gets a thumbs up or a thumbs down? Do you watch other NBC shows? How about The Office? Or maybe you are a fan of Ugly Betty or House? Do you Tivo your own show? It’s okay, you can tell me. Do you have a secret Tivo in the other room where you record all your guilty pleasure shows, like Cribs or My Super Sweet Sixteen or Flip that House? Because that is totally what Amy and I do. The cool shows are on the living room DVR and the embarrassing ones are on the Tivo in the bedroom. Oooh, do you watch Project Runway? The new season starts next month!

(BTW, when are YOU going to be on Cribs? We’d love to see what is in your fridge and I totally don’t mean that in a dirty way.)

Everyone’s got their favorite t-shirt. It could be the one that’s four sizes too big and full of holes but damn is it comfy. Or it could be the one that .314 percent of the population gets but you fell superior wearing.

Anyway, my point is this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly is the “Photo Issue which includes a series of photos of TV and movie actors wearing their favorite t-shirts. Lo and behold, one page features 30 Rock cast members donning their faves. We’ve swiped the pics along with the descriptions below just so you don’t have to go out and spend your hard earned $3.95 on EW. Aren’t we sweet?

Tina Fey -”The shirt was my brother’s,” she says. ”We grew up right near the Tower Theater [outside Philadelphia] and saw a lot of great concerts there, and then we could walk home. I was never the most knowledgeable Who fan, but I’m a big fan of my brother.”

Jack McBrayer - ”That is the actual gym shirt that I wore in middle school in Macon, Georgia,” says the 30 Rock page. ”You can tell by its pristine condition that I wasn’t real into PE. Lots of sittin’ on the bench, helping the jocks with their math homework.”
