Broadway Star to Join 30 Rock?

Of all the people they could choose for this brilliantly written show...

... oh, well, it could be much worse...

... but of ALL the people...

I suppose I will content myself with the fact that Tiny Fey knows what she is doing...

And Tina said at the Emmy's that Jane Krakowski's love interest this season is a BIG NAME - and considering last season they had Steve Martin, Oprah, Jennifer Aniston, etc. that means a BIG NAME on the level of De Niro - so unless their first casting choice fell though, this must be ONE of a FEW additions this season.

Jackson probably isn't her love interest. But I'm excited!!!!

CAST. Are they casting? Will they cast me? I got cast.

I make a point of trying to ignore stuff like this, but... on a theatre message board, you should be able to conjugate "cast".

Jenna's new love interest is supposedly something set up by the two "actor's" agents for publicity. I bet the new cast member is there to replace Lonny Ross' character Josh, who hasn't been on the show much since season 2. I can find out tomorrow...

He is soooooooo nice.

Jackson said he originally declined to do XANADU on Broadway once he knew Jane Krakowski was out because he didn't think his chemistry with Krakowski could be replaced, or something to that effect. Either way, I know they each enjoyed working together in XANADU and they sure looked like they were having fun in DAMN YANKEES. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him in 30 ROCK.

Maybe he did it for the chance to work with Angela Lansbury?

And I would love to see Cheyenne on 30 Rock!

Chey and Jane also work shopped Xanadu together so they have a history that would work great for 30 Rock. I may actually watch it now

30 Rock producers confirm Jackson

Will Cheyenne be a regular and what will his character be?


He'll be hopefully coming in and out. He's a busy guy and we've had him in for one [episode]. The idea is that he's someone in our world and one of the work place arcs in the beginning of the season is Jack and his effort to appeal to a broader audience into what he keeps calling "real America" to Liz's dismay. He wants to bring in a new cast member to TGS and Cheyenne ultimately fills that role.
