COMMENTS

was there anyone else in competition to being Kenneth the page or were you the chosen person for the role?

what are some songs on your iPod or summer reading list?

Are we going to see anymore of you in more internet shorts? The faux interview you did was hysterical!

did you watch SNL a lot or still do? is it fun having the castmembers on? will conan be back next season?

when will the season 2 dvd be coming out?

why don't you have a full listing of writers names? you show who wrote "that" episode, but not everyone who contributed, or is it more of a screenwritten type of script for each show?

Do you think Kenneth will ever get a serious girlfriend?

Whats the best part about your job?

What were you guys saying in the end in Chinese?

Do you get to hang out with the rest of the cast off set? Or is it strictly business between you guys for the most part?

who on set would you say exercises the most? (i'm running out of questions)

Do you have any advise for aspiring writers/producers?

What is your favorite hang-out spot in NYC?
Keep Rockin' Kenneth! =]

What is your favorite hang-out spot in NYC?

have you ever been mistaken with another actor, or what is the most common stereotyping of your character when you are approached by a fan?

Hey Jack,
Is there any chance you will come to Australia anytime soon?
I'm a huge fan of the show! but the show airs at 11:30 at night!

If you had the chance would you be a page in real life?

Where does Kenneth see himself in 5 years?

Will we ever get back into the dark underworld of the NBC pages - a page-off part deux?

Are you typing your own posts or just dictating? (Sorry for the nosy question but I'm wondering how you're answering so quickly!)

Thanks for spending time with us; it's great to "chat" with you. :)

what are some accidents or pranks that have been pulled on set?

Jack,

My wife and I think you're the funniest thing on television. Do you have any other projects coming up now that this season of 30 Rock is over?

hey jack, in ur busy lifestyle whats the best way u found to relax?

hey, i am so happy you are someone on t.v that doesn't swear, have a lot of sex references or anything like that, because kenneth is super funny without having to be vulgar. what do you do around set when you are waiting around for scenes. what are some inside jokes on set?

Jack,

My wife and I think you're the funniest thing on television. Do you have any other projects coming up now that this season of 30 Rock is over?

Hi Jack! You are ah-mazing & my friend & I love you on 30 Rock!
I would like to know if there are any of Kenneth's funny personality traits that you take from the show & accidentally do in real life?

That finale was amazing! Are we going to see those 3 story lines tied up next season? (Especially yours!) Definitely looking forward to next season!

The finale was great! Any tidbits you can share about next season that will tide me over for the next several months? I don't know how I'm going to wait so long! ;__;

hey jack love your character! do you think being from a state with not a lot of acting helped you pursue your dream of being an actor? i'm from a small town in a pretty boring state. and i want to be an SNL writer.

jack, will you keep making more living 'neath the law for funnyordie this summer? i love them so much.

Do your strict religious beliefs keep you from interacting with the others on the show? If they do, that is okay, and you are okay. Don't let anyone talk down to you, ever.

why isn't tina fey doing any blogging this time? i was very pleased that you chose some of my questions last time, like the improve question,danke, but i'm pretty bummed that she's not blogging this time. why not?

Great job Jack, I enjoy your character I look forward to the season premier of Jack in Bejing. which I assume will start right after my boycot of the summer olympics due to the inhumane treatment of the Tibetan people at the hands of the Chinese government. That what NBC gets for having an educated wealthy audience watching 30 Rock. Happy Summer!

hey Jack. I am bumbed that this was the last episode of 30
rock!! 2 questions, do you know what is in store for next season and...are anything like your character Kenneth?

Hey Jack,
How much of Kenneth do you see in yourself?
If there is a scene where you have to cry what do you do to make yourself do that? I have heard they actually shock Steve Carell with an electric collar to get him to cry.

Okay, Tina Fey, are you tapping that or what? Maybe Tracy Jordan is more your flav?

Your character on the show is hilarious...
Does the cast hang out often, or just when you all have to?

when does the new season air?

hey Jack. I am bumbed that this was the last episode of 30
rock!! 2 questions, do you know what is in store for next season and...are anything like your character Kenneth?

Whoa that ending was nuts!

Will the next season pick up where the finale left off after the three month flash forward?

I just want to say i love the show and your part. the writeing is great!

omg that episode was hysterical....lol cooter!.....jennas orgasm sounds, kenneth getting some and doing flips, chips that have bull sperm in em and gay bombs....every week this shows makes me laugh harder than any person should thank you!

I just want to say i love the show and your part. the writeing is great!

do you know any languages? i know tina has college level german, and i have two years of german, do you know any languages? if not, what is a language you would like to learn?

do you know any languages? i know tina has college level german, and i have two years of german, do you know any languages? if not, what is a language you would like to learn?

So...what did that chinese woman say to you at the end?

The finale...whoa! what just happened?! What can you tell us about next season?

Will the next season pick up after the three month break where the finale left off?

I worked with your sister in Athens...yeehaw...

what would you say is the common age group that the show is watched by? and how many people approach you daily because they recognize you? have you ever been mistaken for another actor?

hey, was there anyone competing for the role of Kenneth when they were auditioning or choosing people for the show? or where you "the" person playing Kenneth?(p.s , i use the saying "son of a married couple" a lot when i think my friends are gonna say the actual word, and they find it really funny and i don't have to hear them swear, so thanx!)

hey jack! i'm the girl with the fish named after Kenneth! if you want to know what he looks like, his type of fish is called a TIGER OSCAR. they are huge. anyways, do you know why tina fey is soo afraid to let anyone know about why she has a scar on her left cheek? do you know anyone who knows? can you tell me a clue about where it's from? why it's such a secret, or clear up some of the nasty rumers about how it got there? (there are some strange and completley untrue things. one rumer was that she cheated on a girls boyfriend and the girl got in a catfight with her) do you think we will ever know?

Do you think it's sad that my friend and I watched every episode of 30 Rock in one day?

Random question, but I always think about this...what religion does Kenneth practice? It kind of seems like mormonism but I don't know. Any time Kenneth talks about his beliefs it cracks me up! It's classic!
One more question. What can we expect next season?

i have seen every episode and you are the second funniest person on it.(i think everyone knows who's number 1) are there any movies we should check out to see because you are in them?

Spirited Dona says-- I am always in a thanksgiving mood, at the season end of 30 Rock! Thank you so much, Tina for having the word "groovey" used twice, season 2! I had begged here, as, well as universally! A Jack Donaghey "groovey!" was Priceless! I have a question for season 3, May we see Jack Donaghey do a groovey dance? I did one for 30 Rock in my video blog. Jane / Jenna did one in "Black Tie". Alec claims he can dance! Just keep groovey dancing in mind. I thank you!

There have been a lot of great guest stars on the show, Mathew Broderick for instance. Who has been your favorite?

what was with cutting back so many characters this season? was rachel dratch shooting a movie or something? and josh was barely in anything, griz or dotcom, i know the writers strike pushed back a lot of episodes but why couldn't they have been in the background or anything? and why isn't tina doiing the blog this time?

hey! what is the funniest thing that has ever happenend on set? and how often do the actors of 30 rock see each other other than when they're on set or at an awards show?

hey! what is the funniest thing that has ever happened on the set of 30 ROCK, and how often do you guys see each other other than when your working?

If Kenneth the Page did a cross over with another NBC show, which one would you want him to be on?

Hey! What inspired you to become famous and do 30 Rock??

Was that you in a past episode of Arrested Development? I think you played a waiter at the country club. Even then, you had great screen presence! Keep it up. Rest in peace, Arrested Development :(

What has been your coolest celebrity encounter? What about weirdest fan encounter?

Hey Jack! Love you on the show. Any big plans for your birthday coming up later in the month?

Did you have to do any kind of NBC Page boot camp while preparing for the role. My friend was once a page and you play that role to a t!

How did you get approached to do "Touch My Body" with the one and only Mariah Carey? Was she a diva on the set or cool? Do you have an entourage now since being in that video?

Does Tina let you have a say in what Kenneth does or says? How much of Kenneth is really you and how much is acting?

I've heard rumors that you had to learn Chinese for this season's finale! How did you go about learning the language so quickly?

Love the show!

My question is if you could play any character in any film ever made, who would it be and why?

I saw you on TMZ. Does that mean you have arrived?

2. How do you feel about paparazzi?

3. How has fame changed you?

4. How do you (or plan to) give back? (I think you could sell ice cream like Ben and Jerry and help save the rainforest...)

What comedies did you grow up watching? Do you think that helped you with your own comedic acting?

If I saw you in a bar, what drink would I have to buy you to grab your attention?

Which character do you relate to most on 30 Rock (besides Kenneth)?

Hey Jack-Love your character and i wanted to ask how much improv is involved when you do your scenes with tracy. Seems like you 2 have great chemistry

Do you think "Kenneth the Page" would approve of your "moonlighting" as an IT Repairman and being friendly with Mariah Carey? What would "Kenneth" say?!?!

Not a question, but wanted to say that your character truly is a wonderful foyle for the more intense and cynical characters of the show. It is a joy to watch you inject subtle commentary into your own character's dialogue (the only thing we need to be ashamed of is our own body). It's so silly and played so naturally that you make me as a viewer believe Kenneth is a person and not just a character. Great job! I would enjoy seeing Kenneth act out something a la Jerry Lewis in the Errand Boy at the table with the music and the cigar - that would be SO funny! Best of luck in your career and thanks for so many reasons to laugh this season! - Rebecca in Canada

i know this is more a tina question or producer question, but do you know why you don't list all the writers at the end of the show? the names change every week for the opening credits, but at SNL they list all their writers. is it for time or are there only like three writers for 30 ROCK?

is it annoying you that a large majority of the questions being submitted for this blog are to try and get through to alec baldwin or tina fey(but who could blame them for tina?) but that they can't recognize the talent in front of them?

how much imput do you get into Kenneth's dialouge? and i know that a lot is improvised from the show, considering just about everyone on the show has a second city background, but for some of the more physical improvised stuff (like when you were slapped across the face in "hiatus") is it ever hard for you not to wince, or was sound added that the slap sounded pretty painful? thank you ;)

because of the writer's strike, was the episode where there is a "musical" at the end, would that have been a whole other episode if you would have had more time to stretch out the episode? what were some of the storylines that had to get cut short or cut out completely because of the strike? thanx in advance

Spirited Dona coyly, flirtatiously asks, if Miss Tina has heard my positve gossip? I did a video blog entitled "Pantsuit Vixens for Hillary" with a salute to Tina, who cheered me up more times this year than anyone in this world! That part of my rap, poem, cheer,
Goes
Hey, Hey,
Tina Fey
Says Hillary has can do
Hallelujah!
Booyah!
The new Classic Dress is the bitch
Who Gets Things Done!
It's full of Kitsch
I'd rather fight than switch!
She scratches my itch!
Serious and fun!
I, all the way, support her bum!
I'll try to make the link to my Pantsuit Vixens video, although, it search engines, for those who got your funny on SNL and 30 Rock! Bitch is the new little black dress, thanks to friend, Tina Fey!

Is it difficult to become a writer on a television show like 30 rock?

You were hot in the Mariah video! What is the difference between shooting a music video and shooting a sitcom? How did that come about? Are you jealous of Nick Cannon now?

Any chance for a Kenneth the Page romance next season? That guy needs some lovin!

Do prefer Movies or TV? Where do you see your career going over the next few years?

I was watching one of the 'Adventures With Angela' videos on The Office's website, and Kate Flannery was talking about a drummer and a rooster that live right by their trailers. Is there anything wierd like that on the set of 30 Rock?

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the fabulous bobblehead! You are a superstar! I hope you come to 29 someday soon for a rockin BBQ. BYO non-caffeinated sugar free soda pop. I'll supply the mustard!

P.S. Do you ever ad-lib your hysterical lines?

jack, do you ever get confused when you're doing segments on the show or anywhere else as far as remembering if you should be acting as kenneth or yourself?

Hi, Im trying to e-mail alec, we have a mutual freind, she called him zander, back in the south hampton days. we are in Jersey and want to know if he would like to surprise her @ our semi-private pool. susan would shit, also tell him cathy (owned the florist) is not doing to well

hey jack! i was curious if since you grew up in Georgia, if it was easier or harder for you to keep pursuing your goal of being an actor since you didn't live in or near a large city.

hey hey Jack and every body else
im a huge tina fey fan love her with everything i have
so i want to know what is it like being around her?
and what was in like to have sean hayes on the show? b/c i am a even bigger will and grace fan are you and him like close friends?........
also do you a Mariah keep in "touch" after the video was shot?......she is always i love her funny videos better than the regular ones

well anyways have a fun last show part thing i love the show.....

Kenneth,

You have dreamy eyes, and skin as milky as, okay, well, goat milk. Would you marry my daughter and give her your seed?

Which is your fav:
-improv (long form/i.O style or short form)
-sketch (thinking Second City/e.t.c stage)
-scripted television

Is Jack leaving the show? I know he wanted to leave last year, but is this his way of being written out?

What ever happened to all the different cameos Rachel Dratch used to do? I thought the appearances by her and Chris Parnell as Dr. Spaceman were Awesome. I know he made a small appearance on last weeks episode,but I think they helped make season one a big hit. To me it felt like this season was missing something. Don't get me wrong I love everyone else, but please bring them back!

Was that the NPR Grocery Tote Tina was carrying?
Nice!...Thanks from the NPR Store!

Actually, I'm surprised you guys didn't write the strike into the show? This season was achingly short!

I love 30 Rock! How has the writers' strike effected the show's continuity? Are there any episodes we missed due to the strike? It seems there were less shows this year than last year. Can't wait for Season Three! ROCK ON 30 ROCK!!

I wanna say I love this show!!! Love it! How do you come up with such great material when other shows seem to struggle? Tina Fey is amazing, I remember when she called channel 5 news in CA to defend not having someone at the award party....Love it

What percentage of the [i]30 Rock[/i] characters' personalities do you think is based on the actors' real-life personalities (i.e., Kenneth vs. you, Jack vs. Alec Baldwin, Liz vs. Tina Fey, Tracy Jordan vs. Tracy Morgan, etc.)?

Have you erver thought of or had been asked to be on SNL maybe have a segment for "Livin-Neath-the Law" although... i guess it would have to be less profaine

Buenos!! How has being in the Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body" video. affect you? Do you have more people coming up to you?

It seems like your character on 30 Rock and the one in Forgetting Sarah Marshall are very similar, both being innocent and very conservative. Do you ever want to play a character that's totally different?
