Abstract

In the summer of 2006, Tina Fey announced her departure from Saturday Night Live after six seasons as the head-writer of the legendary late night sketch show. She had decided to pursue a new ambition, a primetime sitcom based in part on her experiences working at SNL. That show would become 30 rock, and in its first season, Fey put herself back into the role as the head-writer for a late night sketch show, only this time around, it was a fictional character she was playing-Liz Lemon. Much of the show's first season attempted to establish the cast of bizarre characters, including Jack Donaghy, the Vice President of GE, and Tracy Jordan, the borderline insane star of the fictional sketch show, TGS. The first season of 30 rock didn't earn the ratings that Fey or co-producer Lorne Michaels might have wished for, but the new brand of offbeat humor that cleverly incorporated the current headlines did earn 30 rock the Emmy for Best Comedy in early 2007.
