Having a new episode of The Office plus a new 30 Rock is enough to make me happy most Thursdays, but tonight's episodes have some special appeal. On 30 Rock, Jon Hamm is back as Liz's neighbor and incredibly understanding date, Drew, while on The Office, Idris Elba starts his six-episode run as a new boss at Dunder Mifflin going toe-to-toe with Michael Scott.
I'm excited to see a comedic side to Elba, who's best known as Stringer Bell on The Wire.

It seems like a match made in heaven: The year's most celebrated comedic TV actress and one of the most lauded dramatic actors who's also surprisingly funny, joining up for an episode of 30 Rock. I've been eagerly awaiting any information about Jon Hamm's guest appearance on the show, and now I've got good news: The first video clip of Hamm's appearance has arrived.
Hamm will be around for at least three episodes playing Dr.

If you could draw a Venn diagram with cheesy '80s movie lovers in one circle and 30 Rock fans in the other, I'm pretty sure the intersection would be this week's "Senor Macho Solo" episode, which featured the endearingly dweeby Kenneth Parcells (Jack McBrayer) rapping the "Top That" song from Teen Witch. Only this time, I'm pretty sure nobody was exclaiming, "I'm so embarrassed. Look how funky he is!"

Jennifer Aniston's had a pretty big week, what with that Vogue cover and interview with her comments about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It's good timing, then, that she heads to 30 Rock tonight as the latest in that show's long list of high-profile guest stars.
Aniston, back on TV for the first time since her quick appearance on Dirt, plays Claire Harper, a Fatal Attraction-esque stalker who randomly turns up in New York and takes quite a shine to Jack.

I know I don't usually recap 30 Rock around here, but after this week's episode — which featured a guest appearance from Oprah — I figured there was no better time to talk about the show. If you haven't seen the episode yet, the whole thing's on Hulu, so treat yourself this Sunday and give it a watch. Some of my favorite moments:
- The idea that Jack Donaghy's tranquilizers might lead to "sleep crime."
- Liz, under the influence of said tranquilizers, whispering that she was "snitting next to Barpo."
- Tracy Jordan's monster claw.
- Sweater capes!
- Oprah's ninth-grade boyfriend.
If none of this makes sense to you, you owe it to yourself to watch that episode now.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, because 30 Rock already made my heart soar once this Fall and then went and smashed it into a million pieces. But! If this were to happen, it would be even more amazing than the Gossip Girl crossover: Jon Hamm is in talks to guest-star on 30 Rock as a potential love interest for Liz Lemon.

Jeez, it's about time 30 Rock came back. Since the NBC comedy was last on the air, it's picked up a passel of Emmys, and its creator and star, Tina Fey, has gotten wildly famous for her side job as Sarah Palin. Which is all well and good, of course — it's just been quite the wait to see the 30 Rock gang together again, doing what they do best.
