Recap of Holiday Fun Times
30 Rock and American Express are running a bunch of 30-second skits on the nbc.com/30rock site for card members called Holiday Fun Times. But don’t fret my gentle reader. If you’re not a card member, here’s a recap of all the skits on the site so far.
Secret Rodney
“Coming up Holiday Fun times from American Express” says Mr. NBC Announcer guy. “Anything else is a lump of coal,” replies an elf that looks a lot like Buck Henry.
Kenneth asks Pete if he can organize the secret Santa gift swap. Pete shoots him down since not everyone celebrates Christmas. Josh celebrates Hanukkah and Jenna celebrates The Secret. Instead Kenneth presents the first ever “Christmas Rodney, the first annual non-denominational (Christmas) gift exchange. Turns out no one is interested anyway. Wha-Whaaaaa.

Kenneth’s Surprise
Kenneth runs up with a Secret Santa box and explains the rules but it’s a bit different. It seems whoever’s name you pick has to buy you a present. Sweet. Jenna gets Kenneth and asks to trade since she got someone lame - Kenneth. Turns out all the names are Kenneth. Again, Wha-Whaaaa!
Kenneth’s Wish List
Kenneth appears before a camera to gift Santa his wish however it’s his secret Rodney list because of the whole non-denominational thing. Damn Sheinhardt Wig Company and they’re rules! Kenneth wants a hip replacement for his grandma, an autographed picture of James Vanderbeek and last but not least for every person he’s ever met to be happy…oh and a talking dog that solves mysteries.
Kenneth then takes the camera to the TGS set. He encounters Frank and Jenna kind of being asses until they realize it’s for Secret Rodney. Jenna wants all the orphans in the world to have a meal so they can feel like humans and Frank wants his collection of Stacked Rack magazines back that were ruined in a flood at his apartment. How sentimental. And Kenneth decides that’s a good time to cut.
