Thank you, Besty! Krakowski's schedule is a lot more flexible now that she is on UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT (if you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend it, Krakowski is one of the great masters of spinning a line or even a word into comedy gold), which runs on Netflix and produces a lot less episodes than 30 ROCK. I know she tried to become involved in a show a handful of times during the 30 ROCK years but the irregular and long shooting schedule simply didn't make it feasible. They also announced recently that due to Ellie Kemper's pregnancy (the lead of the show), production for season 3 will be delayed. So that leaves Krakowski with an unexpected opening in her schedule. SHE LOVES ME runs through July, and they would probably start rehearsals for this around August, right? In terms of scheduling, I imagine she'd be available. It's hard to think of someone better suited for the role. She's also worked with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, they re-wrote the lyrics to "Zip" for her cabaret act a few years ago, she was a hoot performing it and I believe they would write new lyrics for her every day to reflect current events--she would read the lyrics off of her iPhone, it was great.
