Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The Janis Joplin-biopic sub-plot may allude to the fact that at one time two movies about Joplin really went into production in Hollywood at the same time. One was called "Pieces of Me" and was supposed to star Renée Zellweger. The other (called "The Gospel According to Janis Joplin") was supposed to be directed by Penelope Spheeris and either Pink or Zooey Deschanel were rumored to star. As of 2009, none of the movies were made and both seem to be shut down forever. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Stewart, who works at the United Nations, claims to have received advice about Liz from Kofi Annan. Kofi Annan no longer works at the UN, having been replaced as Secretary-General by Ban Ki-Moon. more

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

In this episode, Jenna auditions to be in the Janis Joplin movie Jack is producing, Tracy and Jack gets Tracy's wife Angie to sign a "post-nup" but when Angie says she'll be with her husband till he dies, they make out to everyone's consternation, Liz gets a date with a U.N. representative (Peter Dinklage) named Stewart when she touches his hair mistaking him for a child (Stewart is a "little person" who doesn't know why Liz did what she did), and Jack falls for his mother's caretaker, a Puerto Rican named Elisa (Salma Hayak)...This was another hilarious episode of "30 Rock". Two of my favorite lines were when Kenneth the page asked Stewart, "How does it feel to live under the bridge?" which gets Liz' dander up until Stewart explains he lives in an apartment called "Under the Bridge" and when Tracy takes Jack's cell to find about Jack's testicle lump, Tracy says, "It's positive!" to Jack's chagrin before explaining that it's positive news. And Liz' constant "foot-in-mouth" mistakes concerning Stewart's size makes her failure to have a relationship with him endearingly pathetic. And how about Elisa telling her relatives at a park picnic about Jack's lump in her language! There's lots more I'm not telling so I'll just say, "30 Rock" is still one of the best comedies on television this season!
