Cast Questions

I LOVE this cast..first of all to have Alec Baldwin, I still cannot believe our good fortune. He's brilliant. You can see that - you've seen it on SNL. Tracy Morgan - I feel like he's really getting to be full-tilt crazy like never before. All the support cast...Scott, Judah, Rachel, Jane, Jack...all these guys are just great. I love looking around the room during read-thrus and just seeing so many funny people in the room.

COMMENTS

I love the show--definitely the best new show of the season. You and Alec Baldwin are brilliant together. His comic timing is amazing. Love watching him. Keep it up!

This show Rocks! I love you Tina awesome!!!

you wrote Mean Girls right? that movie was absolutely brilliant. I quote it all the time. Recently it's been the Regina "I know, right?" thing. my friends are all annoyed with it. anyway, i can't wait for more 30 rock episodes!

Hey Tina ! Good Work.I like the originality and passion you and the crew put on the show; IS THERE ANY EXPOSITORY LESSON FOR SOCIETY TO LEARN FROM THE SHOW OR ANY ADVERSE ISSUE IN THE SOCIETAL MILLIEU IS GOING TO BE REFLECTED ON THE SHOW?
Thank You,

Jean

LARRY DAVID ???? Please. Just joking you have a great show and a great cast but one small appearance would be awesome.

Agree with the comment about the SNL cast...that would be awesome to see them in the show every now and then!

Will Amy Poehler make a guest appearance on the show? I loved you guys on Weekend Update. You should do a movie together.

I love the show!! It was so funny!! You know who would be a great occasional guest star?? Conan O'Brien! Himplus you, Tracy and Alec would be 100% hilarious!

The SNL cast in with cameos would be really good. How about Horatio Sanz?

I'm pretty sure i'd marry you if i was a guy. Or if the laws changed and i somehow turned gay..although i'm only 18, but whatever. you're fabulous.

Was really looking forward to this show. Wish you would have chosen some other actor rather than Tracy Morgan for that particular role. Couldn't stand him on SNL (sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles) and he may be the reason I will not watch future "30 Rock" shows! Love the entire rest of your cast. Sorry...personal preference. Also, show was very creative, but I can't call it "outstanding".
Yes, I was also confused about the "girlie show" and how it relates to the rest of the show.

I definitely agree that this is a great vehicle for Tracy Morgan. He'll finally be able to showcase just how funny he really is. Loved the first episode! Keep it up

is tracy trying to be like kanye west bc he totally reminded me of him lol hahaha!!! I LOVE YOU TINA YOUR ARE AMZING AND THE FUNNIEST PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!! -sam

First, so glad Alec did not leave the country when W won the election. He is one of my favorites on SNL and was good in this show. Tina, if I was 20 years younger I would come to NYC and try to hook up with you.

I am very happy that your show has brought back Alec Baldwin back to television. I was wandering if the direction of Tracy Morgan's character is going in the "hooker with a heart of gold"?

Jobson is wrong; Twenty Good Years is the worst, and it's a shame. AND HE SHOULDN'T BE SHOUTING, EITHER... dumbass.

You are the Star Tina, I have been a fan of yours for years, and its nice to see your character is funny and intelligent as you. Tracy
is great, and Alec Baldwin
has that great Natural Professional Schemer.Glad to see Rachel also. Great Show!!

I enjoyed the show but am disappointed that Rachel Dratch was demoted to a much lesser role then originally intended. She's extremely funny and wish she was in the show more.

in response to something funny in the blog how about:

my underwear are on fire.

one of my new favs! loved all the characters!!! very funny!

awesome show Tina! you guys have terrific chemistry...I see a HUGE HIT! Best of luck.

Traci

You are hot Tina. I mean it really, really hot, especially when you wear your glasses.

Good Day

Give Alec a BIG KISS for me I've been a fan of his for years!!!!

What is a read-thru like? Do a lot of changes get made during that timeframe?

one of my new favs! loved all the characters!!! very funny!

great cast hope the show last for a very long time

"you're not listening...you're not a good listener" - hysterical, amazing comic timing. Is any of the show improv?

How do you get work done in a cast of comedians. I would be on the floor laughing. haha but you get it done.

The cast is great. Even the paige is hilarious. Who's he?

Hey, fellow Upper Darby alum! I would equate this show's success potential with "The Office"! You are so talented,Tina! Good job!

Tina would never hear him speak. Very Funny

Hey Tina, I loved the show I think you looked great! It was nice to see Rachael on the show I was bummed when she wasnt on SNL anymore. Tracy was so funny, I guess he is playing Martain Lawrence??? Where is Jimmy?? I hope Amy will be on the show sometime soon.

"you're not listening...you're not a good listener" - hysterical, amazing comic timing. Is any of the show improv?

...the last thing I saw before the car turned the corner:

a. Seven people speaking in cognition.

b. A burrito with an attitude.

c. Brazil.

Oh... and also there were many steak sandwiches! Can’t forget that.

Hi Tina you are awesome!!!

I like your teeth.

Reboots D

I like what I see thus far.

How do you get work done in a cast of comedians. I would be on the floor laughing. haha but you get it done.

was Amy Poehler the announcer for the ggirlie show?

The show needs something else. Have Alec pop his top. Tina, you on the other hand, are hotter than 2 rabbits doin' it in a wool sock.

Write something funny in the blog. Go...

Great show

awesome show Tina! you guys have terrific chemistry...I see a HUGE HIT! Best of luck.

Traci

Best line..."It's not HBO, it's TV." Good work Tina!

You are hot and the show is great. I love the cast chemistry and Alec Baldwin is a great addition.

"you're not listening...you're not a good listener" - hysterical, amazing comic timing. Is any of the show improv?

DUDE that was awesomity. Tina, Tina Tinaaaaa I luff you.

It was a great first episode. I am so excited you got Alec Baldwin on board!! He was always so funny on SNL. Lorne is producing this, huh? How's that going?

is the girlie show like a sketch show? they all waved at the end like on snl, but idk if i get what its about..

Hi Tina,

Is the Josh character supposed to be a little bit like Jimmy Fallon?

Also, I hope Rachel will be on the show more.

He would only talk to Alec.

You are hot and the show is great. I love the cast chemistry and Alec Baldwin is a great addition.

You are all brillant. I love it when Alec Baldwin has been on SNL, those are some of my favorite shows!

Katie Bowden !

Hey Tina will Rachel Be making more apperances?

To bad about your Brother getting gypted with the QVC Shirt. Who cares if you didn't wear it people saw it.

I have to say I was a little disappointed. I saw the episode sent to critics and have to say I preferred the original version. It was funny though thinking there was someone like Alec Baldwin sitting behind a desk at NBC doing the same things he did in the episode, thinking he knows what the fans prefer

I'm kinda tired of being forced fed these vet. actors. I understand that everyone needs work but... what about getting a fresh cast of newcommers? All of these cast members have so much history behind them that takes away from the jokes. Its not just your show, this goes for a lot of NBC shows. >.>

God! I loved the show! How did you come up with the idea for it? It's brilliant!

This was really funny!!! I can't wait for the next episode!! Tina, you and Tracy and Alec were so funny!! Keep it up!!

i must say i love it! WAIT: was the show filmed on the set of SNL because it looks just like it...ive been on the tour and i recognize the yellow seats...

???

Hey Tina. Just wanted to say I found the show very funny and you are as adorable as ever. Is the Tracy Jordan charcater a poke at Martin Lawrence or Eddie Murphy?

The cast is great. Even the paige is hilarious. Who's he?

It was a great first episode. I am so excited you got Alec Baldwin on board!! He was always so funny on SNL. Lorne is producing this, huh? How's that going?

How did you get started in the business & where might I find some of your earlier works ?

To bad about your Brother getting gypted with the QVC Shirt. Who cares if you didn't wear it people saw it.

Great Show Tina. We need more Wahoos on TV.

Thats awesome. I hope to get that feeling in the future.

Great moments tonight--I really look forward to seeing the writing staff interact and for everything to start coming together. Good luck!

To Tina, Cast & Crew,

Fantastic premier! VERY funny, VERY acerbic! A really rare mix
of brilliance and creativity, with terriffic casting
and all wrapped into a format that just plain works.
It's hard to define, even harder to manufacture, but
when it works, such as in this case - WOW!
Keep it up! - Jason

Tina, This is the greatest thing i've seen since saturday--which is saying a lot cuz i saw SNL rehearsal. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND 30 ROCK! haha Not Creepy just Excited and a Fan for a Long Time. Keep the Good Stuff Rollin!

The cast is great. Even the paige is hilarious. Who's he?

Tina, we all watched and it's FABULOSO darling!!. Yor fans
knew it would be awesome. We were confident the hsow would be very funny and smart. laughing OUT LOUD. You're the Goddess of Laughter - Old fatso Jupiter was laughing so loud hi spot turned from pink to white - check out NASA.com

Evanston gives a shout out!

When is Baldwin going to mention Shweddy Balls??

WE WANT AND NEED MORE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT SHOW! I MEAN THIS IS GOING TO TAKE OVER MY LIFE. SNL IS IN THE HOUSE AND TINA YOU ARE THE ROCK! PEACE OUT!

I loved the show tonight...i was wondering why rachel dratch's original character switched with jane's character?

how do i sign on to the live blog??

awesome work Tina; great show...slight, very slight segments over the top...tracy singing excessively bad...but really great show. loved it, funny to watch every second.

Love this cast! This show is sure to be a hit!

Tina- Great show. Very funny. Question, though....what's with the GE product placement? Was it your idea first or did execs approach you on it? It just seems odd that NBCU would run that as a joke on their show, then blast us with GE Profile commercials...

Enjoyed the show; nice edge. Of course the cast is good, too. Question: who is exec. producer, Tina or Lorne? Good luck and best wishes to everyone. Try the hemorrhoid cream on those cat scratches.

Tina, This is the greatest thing i've seen since saturday--which is saying a lot cuz i saw SNL rehearsal. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND 30 ROCK! haha Not Creepy just Excited and a Fan for a Long Time. Keep the Good Stuff Rollin!

That was awesome. I would watch it all over again on this nifty little Tivo but I think my cousin just changed it, so...

I LUFF IT.

The Jimmy Fallon question is burning in my mind also. When are you going to HOST SNL to promote???

this is the most execrable show in the history of television.

Thank you for bringing this show to TV, in a drought of good comedies. When reality TV really took off, I feared I wouldn't see much in the way of good comedies on network TV again. By the first scene of tonight's pilot, it was already one of the funniest things I'd seen on TV all week. Grats.

Didn't Pete play the demon on the Tenacious D show with "Tribute"? Awesome.

God! I thought the show was brilliant!

So--How did you come up with the idea for the show?

Just finished watching the pilot, very funny! looking forward to future episodes.

Tina, great show. Could we get you and Molly shannon in some hot pant some episode? Work it out.

Is Tracy a method actor?

TINA, I AM NOT JOKING. THIS SHOW IS SERIOUSLY THE WORST AND MOST UNFUNNY I HAVE EVER SEEN ON NETWORK TELEVISION. I FEEL EMBARRESED FOR ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN ITS PRODUCTION.

I think all of America is blessed to have this show to watch now. Seriously, I never dreamed that all of you guys would have such a great show together. You all have an awesome chemistry!

Keep up the incredible work, Tina. You keep us laughing no matter what you do. :D

- Kimmy

The show is so cleverly written! So funny! Definitely something worth adding onto the TV shows I watch.
What advice can you give to an aspiring screenwriter?

Tina...love the show. I really like how you're letting the SNL characters remain as we remember them!

is the girlie show like a sketch show? i don't get the concept of the girlie show..

I think this is an absolutely amazing cast.

What made you want to write a show about..THIS?

are you planning on having any guest stars?

30 minutes a week is not nearly enough of Tina's talents!!! Great show!

I'd love to see Rachel Dratch every week, but playing a different character each week...

Watched the show on the web and again on TV. Show was great. Great cast chemistry. Keep up the great work. Is it tough wearing multiple hats on the set?

Tina, really enjoyed the show, but it is too short at half an hour. Why not a full hour?

Unbelievable cast, Ive been waiting for a long time for a show w/ Tracy Morgan, and To add Tina Fey, an underated hottie.... good stuff.

Great show, two words: AMY POEHLER !!

Congrats from Chicago. The show is great.

Great first episode. Very funny stuff. And you had cats!

TINA YOUR ON MY LIST ANY POSSIBLE WAY WE CAN HOOK UP
YOURS ALWAYS
BARRY ON JERSET SHORE

Tracy Morgan is GREAT! Good call casting him in the show

Bored shitless

I love the cast as well, Alec Baldwin is one of my favorite actors, its so great to see him coming to the small screen...thanks Tina for the show!

Is Rachel going to be a cat woman in every episode? How are you going to work with her character?

I think it's great you don't have a laugh track. It lets us decide what's funny for ourselves.

Did you ever consider a talking horse?

i love tracy when they cancelled his show i was upset he is sssssooooooooo funny

watched the show....

it sucked !!!

won't last the winter...

you have to say that stuff.... ur working with them :) jk awesome show

Must be exciting making movies and TV shows

I love this cast too!

Hey, the show was really great. My one question is that I thought that Rachel Dratch was going to have a much bigger part than she seems to have, and I was really disappointed about that. What happened? Why the change?

chicken mcnugget line rocks

Tina, you are incredibly creative and talented. The show is awesome, the cast is great, and I love your style. You're great. You're so great!

I agree the cast is so talented! Alec Baldwin is hilarious.

Not related to the show, are you working on any other works, movies etc?

Rebecca

Tina...love the show. I really like how you're letting the SNL characters remain as we remember them!

Alec is great as an all-knowing-jerk-boss.
He must keep his awesome powers!

Yeah, Jimmy would be great; but Amy Poehler should be on the show! She's awesome!

Any reason you kept Tracy's character named Tracy? Is it true he doesn't respond to anything else? :)

Unbelievable cast, Ive been waiting for a long time for a show w/ Tracy Morgan, and To add Tina Fey, an underated hottie.... good stuff.

The Cast was awesoem, it has been great to see them all at Asssscat as well. They have done well promoting the show.

Great show! But Tina, they gotta show the booty when you're doing the booty dance ;o)

Is Rachel going to be a cat woman in every episode? How are you going to work with her character?

Loved it, Tina, Tracey and Alec! Great job! Can't wait until next week's episode! :) And the rest of the season!

I love this cast too!

Rehearsals must be a trip! Great show ...

i agree. jimmy fallon on the hsow would be great, even if he is just a homeless guy or something.

Don't forget the cats!

I want to write for this show. Immediately.

I loved the cast. It's great seeing so many familiar faces back together. I loved the show and I can't wait for more.

I love the show! The cast is great! I love the whole cast! The show is sure a winner!!!

Hi Tina

Did you have a hand in casting the show?

Jan in Tampa

nice :)

Great show! How long has this been in the works?

It really is an amazing cast! It's so fantastic to see so many talented people on one show. Read-thrus must be amazing. :D

Can you get Jimmy Fallon to come on the show? You both have great chemistry working together!
