I am not one to ever use hyperbole because I hate it more than cancer and/or J. Lo, so I mean it when I say that last night’s television was the best ever.
30 Rock
I loved everything about last night’s episode. The kids on America’s Kids Got Singing get drunk on-air, which causes a bunch of mayhem at TGS. Kenneth gets promoted to dealing with late-night NBC and he institutes some strict morality rules. Liz tries to fight him on it, and he brilliantly engages:
- "And I am matching your tone to make my own point." PS, 2001-era Justin Timberlake loves the suit.
Liz suggests to Tracy that he go off on live TV to beat the censors. Kenneth is sad to have fought with Liz and feels like he doesn’t get enough respect. Liz catches him crying in the bathroom and pretends to be a supportive listener named Kenneth Toilethole. The head of Kabletown (who is puritanically bizarre, like Kenneth, but without the ancient alien overtones) shows up to gently complain; his granddaughter, Jack’s nemesis Kaylie, also reappears. And with America’s Kids Got Singing canceled, Jenna tries to find new ways to get attention by tracking down the eggs she’d donated years ago and working on a reality show with her mini-Jennas, excluding the brown-haired chubby one, Judy. (I like the plain brown-haired girls. Ahem.)
