Jack (Alec Baldwin) is nervous about the corporate retreat, so he recruits Liz (Tina Fey) to accompany him for support. Meanwhile, Jenna (Jane Krakowski) ends up at the mercy of Frank (Judah Friedlander) when she decides she needs to implore method acting to prepare for her Janis Joplin role, and Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) must convince Tracy (Tracy Morgan) that diabetes is affected by his diet. Also starring Katrina Bowden and Keith Powell. Chris Parnell guest stars.

Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as not only “the best comedy on TV this year” but “simply the best TV,” the Emmy Award-winning comedy “30 Rock” is told through the comedic voice of Golden Globe winner Tina Fey (“Liz Lemon”) and features Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin (“Jack Donaghy”) as a top network executive and Tracy Morgan (“Tracy Jordan”) as the unpredictable star of Lemon’s hit variety show, “TGS with Tracy Jordan.” Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life. Also rounding out the cast are Jane Krakowski (“Jenna Maroney”) as the co-star of “TGS"; Scott Adsit (“Pete Hornberger”) as the variety show’s producer; Jack McBrayer (“Kenneth the Page”) as the over-eager and effortlessly endearing NBC page; Judah Friedlander (“Frank”) as the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; Katrina Bowden (“Cerie”) as Lemon’s young, flighty assistant; Keith Powell (“Toofer”) as the sophisticated, yet sarcastic, Harvard-alum writer; and Lonny Ross (“Josh Girard”) as the naïve, yet lovable “TGS” writer/performer. Throughout the first and second seasons, “30 Rock” has welcomed an impressive array of guest stars, including Jerry Seinfeld, Edie Falco, Honorable Al Gore, David Schwimmer, Carrie Fisher, Andy Richter, Dean Winters, Gladys Knight, Meredith Vieira, Steve Buscemi, Paul Reubens, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, John McEnroe, Maury Povich, Ghostface Killah, Elaine Stritch, Sean Hayes, Nathan Lane, Molly Shannon, Will Arnett, Chris Parnell, Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis.
