Here are a couple of videos shot by fans outside of 30 Rockefeller Plaza where 30 Rock was shooting on location.  You can see Tina, Tracy as well as guest star Denise Richards shooting a few scenes:

I just threw up with excitement.

Film star Tom Hanks is poised to make his first acting appearance on primetime network TV in more than two decades when he guest stars on NBC’s 30 Rock this spring, TVLine has confirmed through a source.

Hanks himself announced the booking Friday night, on Twitter.

No details on Hank’s role are yet available — and as with some 30 Rock guest stars it’s possible he will appear as himself. But if he is playing a character, it will by and large mark the two-time Academy Award winner’s first network TV role since the early 1980s, when he guest-starred on multiple episodes of Family Ties as alcoholic Uncle Ned.

Prior to that, Hanks’ big break was of course the 1980 sitcom Bosom Buddies, where he starred alongside Peter Scolari.

Outside of broadcast TV, Hanks has made occasional cable cameos (in Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon, both of which he produced) and played Abraham Lincoln in the 2003 PBS docu Freedom.

Hanks is but the latest film star to pay a visit to talent magnet 30 Rock, following in the footsteps of the likes of Susan Sarandon, Matt Damon, James Franco and young Chloe Moretz.

(Don’t worry I didn’t throw up.)

30 Rock is planning a Law and Order: SVU cross over!  It doesn’t look like a huge part but some of the SVU characters will be stopping by 30 Rock.  MV posted three videos (under the cut) of behind the scene footage.  No word on when the episode will air or what exactly will be going down, but meanwhile rejoice SVU fans and speculate away!

Wow Season 5 spoilers already…

It looks like when 30 Rock returns, Elizabeth Banks won’t be a series regular now that she’s in a relationship with Jack:

Question: On 30 Rock, Jack’s lady Avery is preggo. Does that mean Elizabeth Banks is sticking around the Rock full time next season? —Andrea
Ausiello: Nope, it sure doesn’t. While Banks will definitely be back, there are no plans for her to become a series regular. As my former Scrubs costar told me back in January, “[I'm] having too much fun making movies [to commit to a TV show]. The [TV jobs] are a really fun thing to do between movie gigs.”

I wonder how they’ll wrap this up.

Tonight NBC will be airing a two hour SNL in the 2000s special.  It begins at 9:00/8:00 Central.  The special features interviews with many of its stars including Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Rachel Dratch, Alec Baldwin and many others involved in 30 Rock.  Reviews have been tremendous and should be an interesting show, so be sure to tune in!

Preview:

NBC posted interviews with Julianne Moore and Elizabeth Banks about guesting on 30 Rock.

30 Rock: A-List Magnet.

What Tina Fey wants, Tina Fey gets.
Back in December, we informed Matt Damon that he was at the top of Tina Fey’s30 Rockguest star wish list. His response? “I would do [30 Rock] in a heartbeat if they asked me to come on,” enthused the genuinely shocked thesp. “She should call my people — or even better me. Or I could call her. Let’s make this happen.”

Cut to March 31 andvoila: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Matt Damon is going to guest star on30 Rock!

Although the specifics of his appearance are being kept hush-hush, I hear the Oscar winner’s episode will be one of the season’s last. If I were a betting man, I’d wager that Ben Affleck’s other half would follow in James Franco’s footsteps as another fleeting love interest for Jenna (Jane Krakowski). But I’m not a betting man, so you guys go ahead and weigh in with your guesses below. And while you’re at it, maybe you can calculate how much my 20 percent commission on this deal is gonna be.   - Source

Any guesses as to who he might be playing?
