30 Rock Season 2 Episodes
Season 2 Episode Guide
15 Episodes 2007 - 2008
Tina Fey's acclaimed sitcom about the backstage goings-on at a sketch-comedy TV show opens its second season with Jack (Alec Baldwin), the ever-shifty network executive, planning to insert classic clips from "Seinfeld" into current series, a move that doesn't sit well with Jerry Seinfeld. Other episodes find Jack angling to become the new CEO of General Electric; Jack turning to a P.I. (Steve Buscemi) to learn what dirt G.E. is digging up on him; head writer Liz (Fey) hiring an idol (Carrie Fisher) to work on the show; and Jack falling for a congresswoman (Edie Falco) whose political leanings don't match his. The season's other guest stars include Al Gore, David Schwimmer, Elaine Stritch, Dean Winters and Tim Conway, who earned an Emmy Award for his portrayal of a TV star from the 1940s and '50s. Conway was not the season's only Emmy winner, however; Fey, Baldwin and the writing staff all pulled down Emmys, and the show itself was named best comedy.
