Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series, Tina Fey for Outstanding Lead
Actress in a Comedy Series and Alec Baldwin for Outstanding Lead Actor in a
Comedy Series.
    Created by Emmy(R), Golden Globe(R) and SAG Award winner Tina Fey, 30 Rock

    SYNOPSIS: The 2007 Emmy Award(R)-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 Parcell") 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 naive yet lovable "TGS" writer/performer.
