NBC's "30 Rock," currently in Season 4, is a multiple award-winning comedy series that is told through the comedic voice of Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner Tina Fey ("SNL") as variety show producer Liz Lemon and features Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin ("The Departed"), as top network executive Jack Donaghy, and Tracy Morgan ("The Tracy Morgan Show") as Tracy Jordan, the unpredictable star of Lemon's hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." On "30 Rock," Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life.

Also rounding out the "30 Rock" cast are Jane Krakowski as "Jenna Maroney," the co-star of "TGS"; Scott Adsit as the variety show's producer "Pete Hornberger"; Jack McBrayer as "Kenneth," the over-eager and effortlessly endearing NBC page; Judah Friedlander as "Frank," the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; Katrina Bowden as Lemon's young, flighty assistant, "Cerie"; and Keith Powell as "Toofer," the sophisticated yet sarcastic, Harvard-alum writer.

Throughout the seasons, "30 Rock" has welcomed an impressive array of guest stars, including Emmy-nominated performances by Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Carrie Fisher and Rip Torn, as well as Tim Conway and Elaine Stritch who garnered Emmy Awards in 2008 and 2007 respectively. Season 3 of "30 Rock" was no less star-studded with high-profile guest stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Steve Martin, Megan Mullally, Jennifer Aniston Salma Hayek, John Hamm and Will Arnett (2008 Emmy nominee for his role as Devin). Other guest stars on "30 Rock" have included Jerry Seinfeld, former Vice President Al Gore, David Schwimmer, Andy Richter, Dean Winters, Gladys Knight, Meredith Vieira, Paul Reubens, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, John McEnroe, Maury Povich, Ghostface Killah, LL Cool J, Sean Hayes, Nathan Lane, Molly Shannon, Chris Parnell, Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis.

Nominated for a record 17 Emmy nominations in 2008, "30 Rock" earned seven 2008 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series for the second consecutive year and ties the record for most comedy Emmys in a single season. "30 Rock" has also won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series, a Screen Actor's Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an ensemble in a Comedy Series, two Producers Guild's Danny Thomas Producer of the Year Awards in Comedy Episodic Television, two Writers Guild Awards for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series and a WGA Award for Episodic Comedy and a Television Critics Association for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. Also recognized by the AFI Awards as one of 10 Most Outstanding TV Programs of the Year, "30 Rock" was honored with nominations by the People's Choice Awards for Favorite New Comedy Series.
