My Top Five Favorite Guest Stars on Season Two of 30 Rock and WIN 30 Rock on DVD
Let’s talk about big Emmy winner, and big-favorite-of-mine, 30 Rock. Anyone remember me mentioning that there would be a contest for you to win season 2 of 30 Rock on DVD (or do you only visit Sofa Chip when you’re half-asleep)? Well, the time has come to make good on that promise. My love for the show cannot be denied, as you can see in my review of season 2. Now I shall spread the love in a very love spready way. The all important details about winning are at the bottom of this post. But first, I’ve composed a list of…(scroll down, scroll down!)
30 Rock went Green in Season Two
My Top Five Favorite Guest Stars from Season Two of 30 Rock
5. Steve Buscemi as ‘Private Eye’. He likes to watch weird sex stuff, wants Jack to join his gym, and is so frugal he picks up discarded cigars. Yet somehow he does it in this interesting way that seems suave, not desperate. Watch out ladies/gents, this is the kind of guy you don’t ever want to date. Buscemi plays this P.I. as compulsively watchable, never the less.
4. David Schwimmer as Jared aka Greenzo. Oh, Greenzo. He was amazingly egotistical and annoying. Like any good Catholic, Greenzo believed that guilt was the way to change people’s actions. While trying to save the entire planet he set it on fire by mistake. Hey, it could happen to anyone. (Ross Gellar, who?)
3. Edie Falco as Celeste Cunningham (aka C.C.). A Democrat that uber Republican Jack Donaghy falls for. Oh, the comedy! They try to date, but if they were happy there’d be no story. Although she broke up with Jack, she did help save him in the episode “Cooter”, by approving a ‘gay bomb’. Now that’s love. The kind they write novels about and everything. It’s right up there with Liz’s, “I woofed my teamster sub for you” declaration of love. I think they should have that on bumper stickers, btw.
2. Will Arnett as Devon Banks. You knew him as Job Bluth on Arrested Development, and now we’re destined to follow his career and love everything he does like rabid fans who’ve had too many Red Bulls and no sleep since 1997. Devon Banks is hot for Jack McBrayer’s character, Kenneth, but his lust has to be put aside when he realizes that marrying into Don Geiss’s family means he might more easily become CEO of GE. Upon learning of Jack Donaghy’s recent heart attack, he gleefully says, “I’m going to make your heart explode.” My heart exploded for Arnett. But, you know, with love, and stuff.
*DRUMROLL* *DRUMROLL* *DRUMROLL*
1. Elaine Strich as Colleen Donaghy. As the pathologically bitter, high-maintenance, and jaded mother to Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), Stritch took on a character that we love to hate (a relationship dynamic that is often echoed in many peoples lives with their own mother’s). She’s so mean, but we’re laughing anyway. Colleen Donaghy proves that mother always knows best, especially when it comes to Liz Lemon’s ‘happy’ family. Stritch won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series with this role in 2007. I loved her even more the second time around.
The Ultimate Superhero: Tina Fey. Where's her action figure?

My favorite character, by far, is Liz Lemon. She’s acerbic, a newspaper-reader (hyphenated words count, right?), and she’s relatable.
