Relive the second season of 30 Rock, winner of seven 2008 Primetime Emmy(R) Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Tina Fey), Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Alec Baldwin) and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series (Tina Fey). The show, which tied the all-time record for most awards in a single season for a comedy, was nominated for a total of 17 Emmys(R).

Created by Emmy(R), Golden Globe(R) and SAG Award winner Tina Fey, 30 Rock features Fey as TV writer Liz Lemon, Emmy(R) Golden Globe(R) and SAG Award winner Alec Baldwin as corporate executive Jack Donaghy, Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski as Lemon's unpredictable stars, Tracy Jordan and Jenna Maroney, and Jack McBrayer as the naive NBC page Kenneth Parcell. Co-workers and friends, they are all trying to balance work and life, with the inevitable result of failed relationships, disastrous parties, at-work drunkenness, hardcore coffee addiction, world-class sandwich eating and occasional attempts to chop down Christmas trees.

30 Rock: Season 2 features an impressive array of guest stars, including Tim Conway, who also won a 2008 Emmy(R) for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as TV pioneer Bucky Bright. Other 2008 Emmy(R)-nominated guest stars included Carrie Fisher, Rip Torn, Will Arnett, Edie Falco, Steve Buscemi and Elaine Stritch.

SYNOPSIS: The 2008 Emmy Award(R)-winning comedy 30 Rock is told through the comedic voice of Emmy(R) and Golden Globe winner Tina Fey ("Liz Lemon") and features Emmy(R) and Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin ("Jack Donaghy") as a top network executive and Tracy Morgan ("Tracy Jordan") as the unpredictable star of Lemon's hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life. Also rounding out the cast are Jane Krakowski ("Jenna Maroney") as the co-star of "TGS"; Scott Adsit ("Pete Hornberger") as the variety show's producer; Jack McBrayer ("Kenneth Parcell") as the over-eager and effortlessly endearing NBC page; Judah Friedlander ("Frank") as the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; Katrina Bowden ("Cerie") as Lemon's young, flighty assistant; Keith Powell ("Toofer") as the sophisticated yet sarcastic Harvard-alum writer; and Lonny Ross ("Josh Girard") as the naive yet lovable "TGS" writer/performer.
