30 Rock

A bit of sad news to report.

What many of you may not know is that the mod here, Jenny, is one of my oldest IRL friends. Earlier today I got a call from her husband letting me know that when he came home from work Saturday, he found her unresponsive. She has been in the ICU since then. She was awake and talking yesterday morning but is now in a medically induced coma (mostly due to secondary complications).

I'm intentionally skipping over the specifics, but suffice it to say she's got a fight ahead of her. Things were too hectic this evening to visit, but I'm hoping to go see her tomorrow or as soon as the situation stabilizes enough to allow for non-family visitors.

So please keep her and her family in your thoughts.

Thanks,

Patrick

I always assumed this was a cameo appearance by the actual Bob Ballard after the many times he was referenced in previous episodes. But I just started watching seaQuest DSV, in which Ballard would appear during the credits to give some fun facts (just like the end of this 30 Rock episode), and discovered that they are indeed not the same person.

She sees what she wants and just goes for it.

I really want to get some of the hyper-specific pamphlets from 30 Rock printed up and leave them lying around.

Left to right:

• Julia Louis-Dreyfus as live-show Liz
• Beth, Jamie's mom from "Cougars"
• Rick, the roller skating drag queen from "Christmas Attack Zone"
• Sarah Palin as Liz from 31 Rock a parody video she made for some reason. Also, DotCom is in it?!
• Liz's identical new best friend Amy from "The Ballad of Kenneth Parcel"
• Frank when he turns into Liz in "Dealbreakers Talk Show No. 0001"

S5E10 "Christmas Attack Zone"

Noticed that Paul and his coworker both confused Liz for an employee in the episode after Paul complained about being made to wear nametags. This must be intentional, right?

The Oregon Zoo said goodbye to a member of the otter family Wednesday.

Tilly, the zoo’s oldest North American river otter, was humanely euthanized at age 16, due to advanced age, according to a press release.

The median life expectancy for river otters is 12.9 years, the zoo said, and Tilly was considered geriatric.

“This is a very sad time, especially for Tilly’s care staff,” said Jen Osburn Eliot, who oversees the zoo’s North America area, in the press release. “Some of our keepers were here the day she first arrived in 2009 as a tiny pup. She overcame adversity just to survive, and she helped other otters do the same.”

Tilly, who was named after the Tillamook River, was known for being a great mom to her four pups, Mo, Ziggy, Tucker and Nellie, and adopted pups who came through the zoo, including the zoo’s current river otters, Flora and Hobson.

She was rescued as an orphan near Johnson Creek in 2009, wounded by an animal attack and malnourished.

She also once appeared on national television. In 2012, “30 Rock” aired a photo of her, calling out her resemblance to Tracy Morgan.

I think I had assumed it was just Jack McBrayer portraying a random 1970's page, just like how Hamm/Baldwin are portraying random 1970's anchors here. But now, I am pretty sure that is supposed to be the same Kenneth we know and love, who has not aged a day since.
