September 1st - EW

Question: 30 Rock scoop…please? — Randy
Ausiello: On the red carpet at the Emmys, Jane Krakowski told me that as the show enters its fifth season, the show within the show is entering its fifth season as well. And “Jenna has all these wacky things built into her contract [that kick in at this point], because nobody thought we’d still be on the air,” she said. “So I get to be a producer.”

Question: You’re always so nice about making with the 30 Rock spoilers. Please don’t let the streak end today. —Henna
Ausiello: Since you lied about me being so nice, how can I resist? At the Emmys, Keith “Toofer” Powell revealed that in one of the first new episodes, he’d be getting a big story line. And not just that: “It involves one of the funniest scenes I have ever read,” he teased. Okay, I’m intrigued. You?

Emmy Video: Tina Fey nabs Jon Hamm for ‘30 Rock’ live episode (and Paul Giamatti, period!)

by Michael Ausiello

Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth on the red carpet. But bless her heart, 30 Rock funny lady Tina Fey volunteers the scoopage as freely as that nice lady at the Piggly Wiggly who gives out the free samples of GoGurt. In this pre-Emmy clip, she reveals that she’s booked Mad Man Jon Hamm for a return appearance as Drew in her show’s much-anticipated live episode, and she’s nabbed Emmy winner Paul Giamatti (John Adams) to play… Well, you’ll just have to watch the video after the jump to find out! (No, seriously, you have to watch it, because you won’t find out anywhere else. She promised me the exclusive. And she wouldn’t lie to me. Wait, would she?

Go here to see the video!  (It’s hilarious.)

August 30th - TV Guide

5. Liz Lemon’s getting a boyfriend: “I shot with Matt Damon last week.  He was hilarious,” says 30 Rock’s Tina Fey. “He’s my boyfriend when the season begins. We find out he’s a very, very sensitive gentleman with many emotions. Just an onslaught of emotions. Hopefully we’ll see him again later in the season.”

Everybody’s here on 30 Rock! Just passed @the realkeithpowell & Judah Friedlander & got a scene w Chris Parnell - whewww this is fun! ACTION  

OMG!! I’m on set @30 Rock next to Tina Fey & MATT DAMON is sitting behind me! I went over & said hi - think I just got pregnant! Jamal Damon

August 26th - EW’s Ausiello

Question: Please tell me some good 30 Rock scoop! —Cindy
Ausiello: Would you settle for good-ish? A casting call has gone out for an African-American male in the 30s-60s age range to play Rutherford Rice, the distinguished, well-spoken host of Right On, a fictitious talk show focusing on African-American issues. Is it racist of me to assume this probably involves Tracy? Probably.

August 20th - AV Club

Is more Dr. Spaceman in our future?

Chris Parnell: That’s absolutely right. Even though my time at SNL was—I got fired twice, but even with that, I still enjoyed going to work. I like doing television because if you’re lucky and on a show that goes, you go into work every week with the same people you get to know them. I enjoy that. Not that I don’t like doing the occasional movie when they come along, but I like TV. And I think I’m going to be doing more 30 Rocks.

August 9th - In Touch Weekly

 He may look his hunky best as an action hero, but Matt Damon was adorable as Tina Fey’s bumbling love interest on 30 Rock’s fourth season finale — and according to cast member Katrina Bowden, the actor will return to his role on the hit sitcom. “We don’t know what all of the surprises are going to be, but I can tell you that Matt is coming back this season for some appearances,”

August 5th -Grizz’s Twitter

Great day at the table read with cast and Paul giamatti funny guy

July 14th - Ask Ausiello

Question: I will draw you a Smurf picture if you let me know whether or not Kenneth is returning to 30 Rock. —Veronica

Ausiello: Yes, he is, although exec producer Robert Carlock says, “We haven’t cracked HOW he is getting [his job] back, but of course he will get back somehow. We just wanted a fun thing to shuffle the deck a little bit and send him off into the world. Of course, he will miss it and he will be missed. Events will bring him back.”

June 27: From the E! Spoiler Chat -

Thom in Louisville, Ky.: What a great finale 30 Rock delivered. Where are things picking up when it comes back?

Things are picking up with a big ol’ shman! OK, not right away, but according to the lovely Jane Krakowski, “Will Forte will be coming back as Jenna’s shman.” Liz Lemon is getting lucky in love, too! “I do believe Matt Damon is going to come back,” Jane tells us. “He is scheduled to make some return appearances if we can work them around his schedule and availability.” Woo to the hoo! Let’s start a bridal registry for Liz Lemon now.

June 27: From Ask Ausiello –

Some friends and I are making an impromptu road trip to New York City this weekend. I realize you are probably too busy to meet with some lowly fans, so can I at least get some 30 Rock season 5 details? —Collin

Ausiello: Yeah, um, sorry, I’m actually even too busy to get together with uppity fans, never mind the lowly ones. But here’s your 30 Rock scoop: We’ve probably seen the last of Julianne Moore — and heard the last of her Boston accent. “It seems like she has bowed out of the Jack race because of [Avery’s] pregnancy,” she notes with a sigh. “But I hope in some way she gets to come back. If they asked me, I’d be there in a second” — Beantown patois and all. “I went to school in Boston and worked with a lot of guys from Dorchester, so that’s where [the accent] came from,” she explains. “We made it thick…for humor’s sake, but then again, not really. There are folks with seriously heavy accents there, and they are proud of it.” And if you didn’t like it, Collin? “That’s what TiVo is for,” she laughs. “You can just rewind if you miss something!”
