Is NBC's
30 Rock at risk of going the way of stunt-casting addict
Will & Grace? A piece in
USA Today reveals that in addition to
Edie Falco's upcoming three-episode stint (first reported by TVGuide.com), no less than
former vice president Al Gore,
Friends alum
David Schwimmer (as an out-of-work actor, natch),
Steve Buscemi (as a PI hired by Jack),
Meredith Vieira and
Carrie "I Now Guest-star for a Living" Fisher have been booked for appearances during Season 2. America's paper also reveals details on Falco's previously unspecified role: She's playing a Democratic congresswoman from New Hampshire who hooks up with... Jack?!
As for
30 Rock's season-opener, airing tonight: as funny as it is - and it
is funny - dare I opine that next week's episode, for me at least, was even
more howl-worthy? Will Arnett slays me.
