Is this a clip show?

"And what is Farm Aid?? is it a drink? is it a drug? is it a bandage you put on a barn? See, that's the kind of lazy stand-up I'll never do again."


"Down deep you still got all kinds of queer feelings for me." Dean Winters and his Dennis Duffy
Throughout all of Lemon's travails in trying to find Astronaut Mike Dexter, I want to see her eventually end up together with Duffy and his failed business ventures:
"I have a new business idea: it's like Netflix, but you go to a store and pick out your video from a limited selection."

This 100th was all over the place - bringing the stupid Will Forte trannywas a low point for me - but the show still ended up making it tidy at the end with the gas leak. How coincidental and awkward that 30 Rock was pretty much a clip-show that first half-hour and NBC chose to air a Community ep poking fun at the format two hours earlier?

Michael Keaton was pretty hilarious in this. Always good to see Dennis Duffy as well.

80's Alec Baldwin lol

What happened to the writer shown in the flashback scenes who had the big eyes?

I remember he was a regular in the earlier seasons.

He was around for the first 2 seasons and then only a few eps in S3 if I remember right.

I think his name, on the show, was Josh. He's been mentioned a few times.

The show has been up and down this season, but this was a fantasic episode. Great callbacks to past episodes.

Loved Pete repeating the alphabet as that one weird situation like that one reporter did when she had that headache thing on camera a few months ago.

The Hanks cameo was the best part of the episode.

Jack: "We've been getting some good media buzz...we got on Wikipedia this week!"

I thought they did a good job stretching this episode into an hour format. Loved the Michael Keaton and Tom Hanks cameos.

The actor that plays Pete mimicked that incident perfectly, it must have taken a lot of practice to do that.

Michael Keaton was epic. I miss him doing comedy. I also love Hanks and the A-List bit. I always thought Michael Keaton could have had Hanks career but made some weird choices. One of my favorite episodes even though it was a cleverly disguised clips show, which I hate.

They should have cast Geena Davis too, then we would have had a full on Beetlejuice reunion.

Loved the episode and the way they had fake flashbacks. I thought their were a few old ones but mixed in with the new ones.

Absolutely!

(Not sure how long this comparison will stay up on youtube).
