Tina Fey had to leave "Saturday Night Live" (1975) in order to appear in the show. The schedules overlapped. Influenced by creator Tina Fey`s experience while being head-writer for "Saturday Night Live" (1975). The title is derived from 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the New York City street address of NBC Universal. #
# The show`s name is similar to "3rd Rock," the commonly used short title for "3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996). At the 64th Golden Globe Awards, Tim Allen mispronounced the show`s name as "3rd Rock" when mentioning that Alec Baldwin had been nominated for the Best Actor in a Television Comedy or Musical Award. Both shows featured guest appearances by Elaine Stritch as the mother of one of the main characters. On December 29, 2006, Nielsen Media Research reported the results of having, for the first time, monitored viewers who use a digital video recorder to record shows for later viewing. According to the Nielsen numbers, "30 Rock" had the fifth-largest increase (viewers who use a DVR to record the show and then watch it within a week of its initial airing). According to Nielsen, the show adds nearly 7.5% to its total audience every week as a result of these "live plus seven" viewers #
# Characters Liz and Jenna began The Girlie Show at The Second City in Chicago. In 1992 Tina Fey took classes there and in 1994 was invited to join the cast.
Jeff Richmond, Fey`s husband, composes all of the show`s music and also serves as a producer on the show. He also appears in some episodes as the show-within-the-show`s piano player.
The show`s 17 Emmy nominations in 2008 were the most a comedy show ever received in a single year.
Jenna`s name is a play on Janel Moloney.
"Elizabeth" is Tina Fey`s real first name. | ||
