ON Topic: Alec Baldwin's riff on "30 Rock"
I have not been a fan of this show, as I see a lot of "recycling" in Tina Fey's stuff most notably the clip they showed on the Emmys (they won), which was a direct steal from the "Wayne's World" movie scene about product placement.
(She also "recycled" an old joke in "Mean Girls": "I think I have ESPN.")
But the bit this week on 30 Rock was a modern classic where Alec Baldwin has to do impressions of "Tracy Jordan's" entire family. With a white therapist standing off to the side, asking him to stop his racist impressions, Baldwin kept 'em coming.
Dyn-o-mite!
-ADS.
