Woke up this morning….
Sopranos star and three-time Emmy winner Edie Falco is scheduled to appear in a three-episode run on 30 Rock starting tomorrow. Of course how many of those appearances will actually happen is yet to be seen. Thanks writer’s strike!
According to the NBC website, Falco plays a Democratic congresswoman from Vermont who Jack falls for.
Says Falco, “I have laughed out loud at this show, and I am thrilled for the opportunity to work with such great comic actors.” Series creator/star Tina Fey in turn says, “We’re thrilled to have such an amazing actress come join us. Also, a lot of guys on our crew want The Sopranos’ ending explained to them.” (Good luck as David Chase has said there’s nothing to explain).
Apparently, Fey is a big Sopranos fan so we wonder if she had other possible guest stars in her mind before settling on Falco. “Like who” you ask, well…
Tony Sirico, aka Paulie ‘Walnuts’ Gualtieri appears as Cerie’s mentally unstable, but fun loving uncle who comes in town for her wedding but stays a bit longer than planned. Jack gets nervous when Liz leads him to believe Sirico is Giest’s (Jack’s boss) brother gunning for his job.
Robert Iler aka A.J. Soprano guest stars as Frank’s muse for his catch phrase trucker hats. (no further development probably would have taken place past that).
Lorraine Bracco aka Dr. Jennifer Melfi acts as couples therapist for feuding Tracy and Toofer after their arguing reaches a boiling point. Again, no further development because of the writer’s strike…Yeah, I know my brain isn’t a union member but a girl can dream…
