30 Rock fans have long wanted a special reunion of two popular stars. Finally, their wishes are coming true on Tracy Morgan’s latest NBC show.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a couple of 30 Rock stars are coming to NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Scott Adsit and Jane Krakowski will join Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. Both are former co-stars from the popular sitcom. Interestingly, the 30 Rock connection does not end with Adsit and Krakowski.
The series creators, Robert Carlock and Sam Means, also worked on the sitcom. Additionally, Tina Fey, executive producer of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, is also a 30 Rock alum. In addition to the names above, Andre De Shields, Edi Patterson, and Jason Mantzoukas will appear as guest stars in the show’s upcoming season.
Who did Jane Krakowski and Scott Adsit play in 30 Rock?
30 Rock premiered on October 11, 2006. In the sitcom, Jane Krakowski played Jenna Maroney, and Scott Adsit played Pete Hornberger. Krakowski’s Maroney was an attention-seeking co-star of the fictional sketch-comedy show TGS. She was also Liz Lemon’s best friend and was narcissistic in nature.
Adsit’s Pete Hornberger was TGS’s long-suffering producer. Hornberger was quick-witted, and his character hilariously portrayed the theme of mid-life despair. Both Adsit and Krakowski joined the show in the first season.
The summary for 30 Rock, per Rotten Tomatoes, reads, “Based more-than-loosely on backstage shenanigans at ‘Saturday Night Live,’ ’30 Rock’ centers on young Liz Lemon, currently head writer for a live sketch-comedy show in New York. Complications follow when the network’s new president orders Liz to hire mentally unstable movie star Tracy Jordan to join the cast, throwing neurotic leading lady (and Liz’s best friend) Jenna Maroney into a tizzy. Liz tries to juggle all the egos around her while trying to chase her own dream.”
Although the first season ended on April 26, 2007, the show ran for seven consecutive seasons. The show’s last episode aired on January 31, 2013. Created by Tina Fey, 30 Rock holds 78% on the Tomatometer and 92% on the Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes.
