  A funny episode with a unexpected ending. hide show

  Liz and Jenna work on their dating game when they're beguiled by two very different MSNBC staffersâ€"a brainy geek and a brawny hunk. Cerebral Liz finds it strange that she's more interested in the attractive one. Meanwhile, Kenneth and Jack switch roles. Loved the scene where Liz and Jenna thought they had changed everything with Jack as a NBC page. The ending I didn't see coming where Liz and the hair where cousins. Kenneth firing Jack was great and Jack working as a NBC page was a funny little storyline. I liked this one, I will give it a 9 out of 10.

  Liz gets a hot date & Kenneth takes control! hide show

  I thought this episode was incredibly, impossibly amusing. It was so nice to see Liz (almost) get the perfect guy. It's too bad that they're actually 3rd cousins! Gah!
  
  The B-Plotline featured "Bottoms-Up" day, where Jack & Kenneth swapped jobs for a day. When Jack criticizes Kenneth for putting up with all the crap everyone gives him, Kenneth gets upset. Later on, Jack apologizes to Kenneth & Kenneth shares a show idea. Unfortunately, he makes a not-so-tiny miscalculation & the show is a complete failure. Luckily, Kenneth is cheerful & optimistic as always, so we have nothing to worry about!
  
  I just started watching 30 Rock, but I'm getting more & more into it with every episode! It really helps that NBC has all the episodes online now :]

  Atom Ant! hide show

  Alec Baldwin want to eperience what pagers do. So, he became a page for a day. Meanwhile, Liz and Jenna went over to MSNBC to look for cute guys. Why MSNBC? Gee, I don't know! I haven't watch that channel in months. Also, one of the pages got a idea of a game show where models hold gold. Problem is contestants can easily identify the gold. John MaEnroe made a cameo as host and if you notiiced, he hadn't changed since he left tennis. In addition to tina Fey, I becoming a fan of Jane Krakowski each week. Tina and Jane, two of the hottest women in televison. I saw Tina's dress on thye golden globe Awards. I didn't like it. She could do better in the fashion department.

  I thought 30 Rock was great to begin with but this episode proved my love of it! hide show

  This show gets better by the week. I must drive my neighbours insane for the laughing. As Jenna and Liz 'realize' they have upset the natural order of things I could think half of the comedy was from the music played over the scene. It could have had something to do with Jack asking them for their coffee orders too, though. Very well played out.
  
  Kenneth has always been one of my favourites. Tonight was no different. There is nothing like a well played super-optimitist being constantly abused by his co-workers to make you just hang your head and chuckle.
  
  This show is full of tiny little moments that make you burst. A sort of "just when you think you've heard the punchline..." momentum that keeps me coming back. Like the Tracy Biography. Through the show the guys listen to these stories and such, finally getting all excited by the end and really into it. A hapless viewer might think its all about seeing more craziness from Tracy when the boom falls and you miss 30 seconds cause you're laughing so hard.
  
  Don't even get me started on the cousins! LOL
  
  Best episode of the season so far!

• The trucker hat Frank wears in this episode reads "Smells." [edit]
• Kenneth can be seen cleaning off lettering on Brian Williams's wall.
  
  The following can be seen with the rest of it scrubbed off:
  KAT
  COUR
  SU
  
  This can be inferred to have read "KATIE COURIC SUCKS" as a joke. Katie Couric hosted the CBS Evening News opposite Williams's NBC Nightly News at the time of the original broadcast of this episode. [edit]

• There are currently no notes. Add notes!

• Jack: Good God, what does that man do in here?
  Kenneth: I don't know. I've never met Brian Williams, but his dressing room needs to be cleaned up every day between 11:00 and 11:30. That way, by the time Mr. Williams gets back from the liquor store, it's nice and tidy. [edit]
• Liz: I don't have any money, if that's what you're after. And I'm not one of those girls that does weird stuff in bed because they think they have to. If you're a gay guy looking for a beard, I don't do that anymore. And if you're trying to harvest my organs and sell them, I have an uncle who's a cop, so don't even try.
  Gray: Hey, we all have uncles who are cops, so just take it down a notch. [edit]
• Josh: I'm supposed to treat you like Kenneth, right?
  Jack: Yes.
  Josh: Well then yeah, genius, get me a new salad! Or, get me a time machine so I can go back in time and smack your mom for smoking crack while she's pregnant. (to Kenneth) Too much?
  Kenneth: No, that's usually how it goes. [edit]

• Liz says she, "just want[s] to go home and watch that show about midgets and eat a block of cheddar cheese," referring to the TLC show Little People, Big World. [edit]
• Jack mentioning a potential show about, "a porn star who can talk to ghosts," is a reference to The Ghost Whisperer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt (though she's not really a porn star). [edit]
