Taking a hint from the recent films "New Year's Day" and "Valentine's Day," where the philosophy is to pack as many stars into the film as possible regardless of logic or plot, Jenna Maroney stars in the latest holiday-themed romantic comedy. On the second of two episodes of "30 Rock" (Thu., 9 p.m. EST on NBC), she premiered the trailer for 'Martin Luther King Day,' featuring Nick Cannon, Emma Stone, Andrew Samberg, Liam Neeson, Kristen Bell, John Krasinski and the king of romantic comedies Hugh Grant, among tons of other celebrities.
The trailer captured perfectly the predictability of those movies, as well as the derivative plots and dialogue. At one scene, Cannon tells Jenna, "Sounds like ... you have a dream!"
All of this set up an episode wherein Liz realized that Jenna was far too self-absorbed to be a good friend, so she sets out to find a new best friend. Unfortunately, she finds a woman just like herself, and finds that she doesn't like it when they're both complaining unceasingly. It's so much better when the friend isn't listening at all, so Liz can just vent.
While this was happening, Jack shut down the page program, replacing them with NK (Not Kenneth) units that supposedly know more than even Kenneth does. But NK doesn't catch a foolish mistake Jack makes -- sending the one-year anniversary gifts for the new owner to the 6th floor instead of the 60th. The 6th floor where "TGS" is filmed!
"30 Rock" airs every Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
