Oh my god. That is going to be awesome! I hope she and Elaine Stritch battle it out some how.

My head just exploded.

Too good to be true!

Maybe in season 4, Bernadette Peters can be Kenneth's mother.

I really hope they work "WHO do you THINK you ARE?" into the script.

Tina Fey. Patti Lupone. Love.
Though I think 30 Rock sometimes gets a little guest star crazy, I won't lie; I am looking forward to this.

Wow, I won't even lie: I totally just uttered the gay gasp. Oddly enough, I was just thinking about Patti LuPone not five minutes ago, because someone brought up the Will and Grace episode where he tells her to shut up. But 30 Rock: LuPwn'd is just about as good as it gets. Anyone else get a sense with each week that this show just gets better and better?

Sauja, I think Bernadette might be better-suited to play Jenna's mother. I think that would be gold.

^^^I agree. She would be perfect as Jenna's mother.

Ohhh I cannot wait to see Patti in this show!

30 Rock is hands down the funniest show on television. You shouldn't need Patti LuPone to tune in.

Patti LuPone + 30 Rock = Best Idea I've Ever Heard Ever!

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Eeee! I am super excited! A favourite actor on one of my absolute favourite TV shows! What a match.
30 Rock is genius.

You know, it is occuring to me that everybody's mother on this show has been a Broadway Diva (or at least an accomplished Broadway actress) so far . . .

Jack has Elaine Stritch
Liz has Anita Gillette
and now Frank with Patti LuPone.

Who else could be cast if this trend continues?

Jenna
Tracy
Kenneth
Pete
Toofer
Josh
Devon

Possibilities . . .
