Jenna was great in this episode!

Really liked the short James Bond like bit with Kelsey Grammer to end the episode.

I liked Tracy's correct usage of "nonplussed" as well as "Criss Chros".

I met Denise Richards once when we were covering Dancing with the Stars. She did strike me as an idiot, but it's funny that she went along with it.

I still feel a little bit off with this show so far. But there were a lot of funny moments in this one.

I thought this episode was great. It's been a long time since we've had a 30 Rock be this funny. I think my biggest problem is Kenneth, he's overstayed his welcome. They need to go back to him being a bit character and giving the writers more to do.

This episode was pretty un-PC as a whole. I'm surprised we haven't heard of any backlash since the whole thing was just making fun of Tracy Morgan's gay "jokes" last year.

Between this and the Parks and Rec thread somebody clearly put on his namedropping shoes today.

Was that the real Shirley Bassey singing at the end?

at Liz getting harrassed by Imaginary Jack.

Pretty funny episode. Liked the little Denise Richards cameo.

Looks like Tina Fey still needs to work off some of that extra baby weight. You can tell they are trying to cover up her post baby weight with the heavy clothes.

BTW, how the hell is Kenneth still a page for 6 years at NBC? IIRC, the I read the page program for NBC is only 1 year.

The Kelsey Grammar James Bond video at the end was pretty cool. Kelsey would look badass with the beard for the 2nd season of Boss. I hope he keeps it when they start filming.

Which is odd since she showed her bare stomach in the season premiere and she looked great. They must have shot that scene much later.

Yeah, I thought about that too I just laughed when Tracy said she was the spokesperson, because I too thought she was an idiot. And then she was there, which made it even better.

Tracy Morgan could stand to lose some of his baby weight, too.

Alec Baldwin appears to be the only actor in the cast in shape this season!

Was it Denise who said "For all intensive purposes..."? I busted a gut when I heard that. I hear people say that all the time!

Just watched this episode and loved it, the jokes were nonstop. Highlights were Kelsey Grammar and Tracy's voicemail message.
