Paging Kenneth
Stop hyping Jon Hamm! Every single girl I know wants to sleep with him. They don’t need to know he’s funny, too.
He’s a dreamboat. So is Salma Hayek, who is also coming up. She is gorgeous. It’s unreal. Even the Polaroids they’d take of her to ensure continuity in scenes looked like glamour shots.
I actually read an interview with you recently where the interviewer was talking about how handsome she thought you were, which is funny since Kenneth is such an innocent prude. You’ve officially joined the Pitt/Clooney pantheon of hot leading men!
Finally, I’m getting the recognition I deserve! That’s the magic of television for you. Most days I’ll look in the mirror and think, “Really? This is what I’m working with today? Come on.” Actually, in an upcoming episode, I end up falling in love with a blind girl. And it’s going great until she feels my face and “sees” what I really look like. Poor Kenneth.
The good, nice guys never get the girl. Women always end up talking about how they hate men after sleeping with the Tracy Jordans of the world. Is Tracy Morgan as crazy as I think he is?
I love Tracy. He is like a 14-year-old kid with more money than God. He’s such a sweetheart. Old boy is crazy. He took some of us to P. Diddy’s birthday party a little while ago. It was like nothing I’d ever seen or done before. Imagine what you think P. Diddy’s birthday party is like…
Caged white tigers, midgets, Champagne...
Exactly. And then make it 10 times more crowded and insane. It was at some club, and I rarely go to places with velvet ropes. The invitation said, “Dress like you’re meeting royalty.”
What did you wear?
I was obviously the jester.
Were you the only white person there?
There were three of us. Me, Rebecca Gayheart, and Pete Wentz. Just kidding—Pete Wentz isn’t white. But it was bananas.
Did Tina Fey go?
I’m sure Tina Fey has more important things to do.

I love Jack and he seems very witty. Jack McBrayer, Barack Obama, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert- we make good people here in da Chi.
Jack as the firemarshall in the last episode absolutely killed me. Dude is a FOX.
I think this show's awesome and love the Thursday line, except Kat and Kim.
I first saw Jack McBrayer in the show ASSSSSSSCAT at the UCB Theatre in NYC - and he was incredibly funny. I went back to Ohio quoting him. When I moved to NYa few years later to study improv there, I had the honor of seeing him and Paul Scheer do a 2-man show that was one of the most creative and intimidating things I've ever witnessed.
Good to know that a real talent & a real good guy can make it. Now if only I were either of those.
I am from Georgia and I love 30 Rock!!!!
I think he brings a lot to what could easily be played as the typical sitcom airhead.
But, hey! No fair dissing Stone Mountain, GA!
I keep hearing how nobody watches 30 Rock, especially outside of big cities. Guess all of my family, friends and I here in Iowa will have to stop watching.
Thank you.
