Just a heads up that tonight on 30 Rock it's a special Mothers Day episode with appearances from all the Moms, meaning we get Elaine Stritch, Patti LuPone, Jan Hooks, Anita Gillette, and in a new addition Novella Nelson as Tracy's mom. Also appearing is Cheyenne Jackson in his recurring role as TGS cast member Danny.
Quite frankly I don't see how they can not do a musical number, so fingers crossed on that front!

Posted: 5/6/10 at 1:48pmCan't wait. And that does look like Novella from Purlie. But then how many actresses named Novella Nelson are there?!

Posted: 5/6/10 at 1:59pmI guess I should have said "I can see how they can not do a musical number."

Posted: 5/7/10 at 12:57pmYes, "Danny's" mom is Asian, and yet it never occurred to him that he might be adopted!
#10Tonight on 30 Rock
Posted: 5/8/10 at 11:11amBecause of his vaguely Asian features? That was too bizarre. They are not doing enough with Cheyenne!

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 5/9/10 at 8:37pmI must admit that I hadn't heard of Novella Johnson so I assumed it was just a character's name. When I was going back and forth from Grey's Anatomy to 30 Rock, I say the pajamaalls, I thought it was Terri White. But I have seen Novella in The Starter Wife, and I enjoyed her very much.

Yeah, I thought it was funny hearing Patti LuPone sing badly on purpose since after all she was just playing a mom, that was funny.
Elaine Stritch just continues to amaze me every time she's on the show, her delivery is pitch-perfect and always hilarious. Uncageg, I too lost it after hearing "I assume herpes"
Season clearly the weakest of the bunch but it was a good episode.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
