30 Rock Visits Jimmy Fallon and Octavia Spencer Guests on Last Night's Episode

30rock


The Cast with Jimmy Fallon

For the first time since the wrap party, the entire cast of 30 Rock assembled on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. What started with Tracy Morgan's perfectly adapted cover of... wait for it, Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," developed into a sweet dishfest on the mistakes averted, the tricky scripts, and the tears, oh, the tears. Apparently, the whole crew had taken turns crying at each cast member's final shot on the finale set scheduled to air Jan. 31.
"In my last shot... it was me with no lines, running on a treadmill for five seconds," Tina Fey said in her nuanced spoiler. "I was like crying on the treadmill."
Tracy Morgan recalled having to put a stop on Lorne Michaels who had originally intended to name his character Boo Boo Jordan; Alec Baldwin remembers meeting X-rated-Tina at the gym; and Jane Krakowski commented on the lightning-crack-speed of the script through the seasons. They made such a cute, delightful bunch, thank God for syndication. Enjoy their camaraderie in the video ahead. (video won't embed  )

Tina Fey Cries on a Treadmill

The cast of "30 Rock" dropped by to talk about the end of their series later this month with Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night." The cast said that they all cried basically for a solid month during final filming. Tina Fey said that everyone would gather to watch each performer's final scene. Hers, though, was a little strange.

"And my last shot wasn’t a big scene," Fey said. "It was literally me with no lines running on a treadmill for five seconds, but there was like 100 people watching."

Jane Krakowski said she'd never seen so many people on the set. And everyone was crying, including Fey on that treadmill.

"It was the weirdest shot possible," Fey said of her final moment on the show. Somehow "weird" seems wholly appropriate, considering how brilliantly "30 Rock" celebrated "weird" for seven seasons.

Octavia Spencer Guests on Last Night's 30 Rock.

Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer proved to be a real handful on the latest episode of "30 Rock." Tracy brought her on to play the lead in his Harriet Tubman biopic, but Spencer proved a real handful. She was as outrageous as Tracy -- and even had a female version of his entourage with Mizz and Dot Gov.

What Tracy realized was that he had to handle Octavia the same way Liz has handled him for the past seven years, so he borrowed her hair and did his best impression. All that did, though, was inspire Octavia to new levels of lunacy.

But the entire experienced helped Liz realize something important. She wanted a baby, but was afraid to take on an older one. She thought she might not be able to handle a child with an already-developed personality. After hearing Tracy talk about how she'd been managing him -- and isn't he a lot like a toddler in the way his brain works -- she realized she was more than capable of taking a child who's six or seven-years old.

I loved that her assistants were named Mizz and Dotgov.

I just watched the episode and oh my god she had me laughing at every damn line. It was glorious.

I don't really care for a whole bunch of random cameos in series finales. I want to see the cast and the cast only. They're the ones I watched for.
k5memo 11th-Jan-2013 03:47 pm (UTC)
IA. My favourite guest star is Chloe Moretz, and i enjoyed her chemistry with Jack. But i'd rather have more Kenneth Parcell!
masterofmystery 11th-Jan-2013 03:52 pm (UTC)
chloe was annoying as fuck, what are you talking about
k5memo 11th-Jan-2013 03:54 pm (UTC)
moretz is supposed to be an annoying bratz. so that works for me. lol.
musicpsych 12th-Jan-2013 03:20 am (UTC)
I agree, not even annoying in a good way.
mynamehere07 11th-Jan-2013 03:57 pm (UTC)
I love that's Jack's nemesis is a 15 year old girl.

Octavia Spencer was fucking hilarious last night. She just might be my new favorite in terms of guest appearance.
riookierin 11th-Jan-2013 03:50 pm (UTC)
Mte!
riookierin 11th-Jan-2013 03:50 pm (UTC)
Lmao Octavia was so fucking awesome last night, omw.
_______awshucks 11th-Jan-2013 03:56 pm (UTC)
"This movie cannot take place in Maryland because of my ongoing feud with Cal Ripken" Octavia was hilarious. I'll be sad when the show ends.
buncha_cruncha 11th-Jan-2013 04:00 pm (UTC)
Last night was great. Octavia was hilarious, and I loved Lemon's hormonal breakdown at the computer, with the Flash update: "It's so sad! What happens to version 11.4?"
shannenb 11th-Jan-2013 04:00 pm (UTC)
Octavia was hilarious. I was also glad to see the return of Devon Banks. Although we didn't get things as awesome as "You don't tell me what kind of pizza to like" or the Itsy Bitsy Spider reinactment.

Dr. Spaceman got kind of a rushed send off though...

ETA: Oh, I also loved when Tracy was trying to be Liz they had him stress eating Sabor de Soledad's. LOL!

Devon's delivery of "the only backstabbing i do these days..." was golden though.

I was also hoping for Cheesy Blasters™, to make a comeback alongside Sabor de Soledad™!!
thesilverymoon 11th-Jan-2013 04:01 pm (UTC)
Last night's episode was glorious. Every scene had me cackling.
This season has been so solid--it's just going to make saying goodbye even harder.
demented_21 11th-Jan-2013 04:09 pm (UTC)
mte, this entire season has been awesome. It doesmake it harder to part with the show but, on the other hand, at least it will go out on a high note instead of fizzling out. That's something.
demented_21 11th-Jan-2013 04:07 pm (UTC)
Will Arnett was amazing (his character always gets the best lines imo and his delivery is flawless), as was Octavia Spencer.

Also:

Jack really has no idea how to deal with human emotions, but he does try.
jaimelannister 11th-Jan-2013 04:07 pm (UTC)
THAT'S A SERIES WRAP ON DR LEO SPACEMAN

shannenb 11th-Jan-2013 04:26 pm (UTC)
Someone is going to make a post looking back at the show(when the final ep airs) where we can all just post our fave gifs, quotes, etc right?

Cause I'm gonna need that. :)
fauxkaren 11th-Jan-2013 04:36 pm (UTC)
I was really sad that was the last time we'd get to see Dr. Spaceman. He was probably my favorite recurring character. I'M NOT READY TO SAY GOODBYE.

I'm at least a season behind on this show but I'm watching the season finale anyways. And yesterday's episode apparently because I love me some Octavia.
rainbowren 11th-Jan-2013 05:38 pm (UTC)

clioheika 12th-Jan-2013 05:06 pm (UTC)
Coupled with The Office's cancellation... I'm not a very sentimental person but I'm gonna be bawwwing so, so hard this year
