Stop just long enough to visit way: Tina Fey has seen Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. us on campus, or at ey.com/us/careers. “I watched the first one,” Fey said of Aaron Sorkin’s backstage- at-a-sketch-comedy-show show. “I think it looks very fancy, and Bradley Whitford is cute.” Studio 60 is of interest to Fey, a former head writer and performer on Saturday Night Live, because she has her own b a c k s t a g e - at-a-sketch- comedy-show show on NBC as well. It’s Fey called 30 Rock, and it premieres at 7 p.m. today. That NBC has two series with similar subjects has been a popular discussion topic among professional TV watchers. Fey said she understands why, but she’s confident viewers will get the difference between her show, a straight-out comedy, and Sorkin’s, a drama laced with humor. Fairly confident, anyway. “I think in tone they’re going to be very different — but yes, old people will be confused,” she joked. “Look for Alec Baldwin. If you can find Alec Baldwin, you know you have us.” Baldwin stars in 30 Rock as new NBC executive Jack Donaghy, whose motto is “Some- times you have to change things that are perfectly good just to make them your own.” That’s not good news for Liz Lemon (Fey), the creator and head writer of a sketch-comedy series called The Girlie Show. In his first week on the job, Jack pressures Liz into taking a meeting with mentally unstable movie star Tracy Jordan (Fey’s fellow SNL alum Tracy Morgan), who then proceeds to storm the live broadcast and save a sketch that’s circling the drain. Tracy’s presence makes The Girlie Show’s neurotic star, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski), even more agitated. “I think Tracy’s character is one of the freshest we’ve seen written on TV, and I love his character so much,” Krakowski said. Krakowski wasn’t in 30 Rock’s original pilot, which featured another ex-SNL player, Rachel Dratch, as Jenna. But after filming that version, which played up the fake sketches in The Girlie Show more, Fey said she rethought what she wanted to do. “To see sort of canned sketches within the body of the show didn’t really feel right,” Fey said. “I saw it was going to be more of a straight acting part and wanted to rewrite it.” Shows about show business have a pretty spotty record in the recent past — in fact, Studio 60 is drawing only so-so ratings early in its life. Fey, however, said she hopes viewers see that TV business in 30 Rock is pretty much a back- drop, much the way that Mary Tyler Moore wasn’t really about a local newscast. „ „ “You’re not really going to Audit Tax Transaction Advisory Services see the sketches on the show,” she said. “You’ll see the lives of © 2006 Ernst & Young llp !@# these characters that work at the show.”
