Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "30 Rock" is based on a fictitious variety show called "TGS with Tracy Jordan". What do the initials "TGS" stand for?

Answer: The Girlie Show

As Kenneth the NBC page explains, "The Girlie Show" is a real fun ladies comedy show for ladies.

2. Before Tracy Jordan came onboard the show, who was the star of "TGS"?

Answer: Jenna Maroney

Or as Tracy Jordan calls her, My Bologna. The pet name was spawned when Liz Lemon corrected Tracy's mispronunciation of Jenna's name during the filming of a commercial spot by rhyming: "Jenna Maroney ... rhymes with bologna."

3. Name the Baldwin brother who plays NBC big-wig Jack Donaghy.

Answer: Alec

One of Alec Baldwin's first film roles was that of a young Jimmy Swaggart in "Great Balls Of Fire". Swaggart is in fact a cousin of The Killer Himself, Jerry Lee Lewis.

4. On what night does "TGS with Tracy Jordan" air in the "30 Rock" universe?

Answer: Friday

"30 Rock", however, originally aired on Wednesday night. It is one of two shows inspired by "Saturday Night Live" that hit the airwaves concurrently, the other of course being "Studio 60". During a guest spot on "The Tonight Show" to promote "30 Rock", the show's creator Tina Fey explained quite simply: "Just remember, '30 Rock' is on Wednesday's at eight, and 'Studio 60' is on Wednesday's at eight."

5. Who is the producer of "TGS"?

Answer: Pete Hornberger

Pete is portrayed by Scott Adsit, who plays a hilarious bit part in the 2003 remake of "The Italian Job" as an actor who holds up traffic at a stoplight while he is running cheesy cop-show lines.

6. Name the "Saturday Night Live" alum who reoccurs on "30 Rock" by playing various roles such as cat wrangler Greta Johanssen, Maria the maid, and Blue Man?

Answer: Rachel Dratch

One of Dratch's all-time great roles on "SNL" was Zasu!, the amorous girlfriend of a Nomar Garciaparra-worshiping Boston teen played by Jimmy Fallon.

7. What late night talk-show host did Liz Lemon used to date?

Answer: Conan O'Brien

While Conan O'Brien makes an appearance in the seventh episode of the series, he is referenced four episodes previous by Pete as: "the tall, gangly red-haired guy who played guitar all the time."

8. What article of clothing did Kenneth the page lose to Jack in a poker game?

Answer: Jacket

Jack beat Kenneth with a pair of twos, which is the worst "made" hand possible in poker.

9. Tracy threw a party for the "TGS" cast on a stolen yacht named Avanti Domani. What did Tracy say is the meaning of the name?

Answer: Remember your mother

The literal translation of the Italian phrase "avanti domani" is "before tomorrow".

10. In the opening scene of the "30 Rock" pilot, Liz Lemon purchases all the hot dogs from a New York street vendor. To who does she say she is giving them?

Answer: The good people

The "30 Rock" pilot included the image of Lemon walking the streets of New York with a box full of hotdogs, as well as the image of a flock of caged cats backstage at "TGS", which together are reminiscent of a great line from "Ghost Busters" by another "SNL" alum Bill Murray: "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together ... mass hysteria!"
