I was just talking to a co-worker the other day about how 30 Rock hit the perfect balance between celebrities playing themselves (Conan O'Brien, Jerry Seinfeld, Kelsey Grammer) and playing characters (David Schwimmer, Peter Dinklage, Carrie Fisher). And then there were the cameos like Oprah and Jim Carrey that blur the line.
Love that 30 Rock approached celebrities the same way as classic Simpsons. The cameos are treated as solid jokes with no butt kissing. Unlike modern Simpsons where they are propped up and have their egos pandered to.
Watch him in _The Baxter,_ a small movie directed and written by Michael Showalter that was a romcom from the perspective of the guy who gets dumped in a romcom. He plays a wedding planner and his scene is one of the funniest in the whole movie.
I always assumed that Buzz Aldrins lines were jokes, but he genuinely did have a drinking problem and get into crazy stuff! I respect him for being open about it and talking about his struggles and overcoming them. Good for him. I hope he gets to yell at the moon forever!
You guys. It's been so many years. But that day has finally arrived. It's official.... I. Am. Going. To. Watch. This. Great. Show. FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!! Cuz I really need that... In this time of troubles. To remember about those happy years...
I find it interesting that 30 Rock got Jennifer Anniston and David Schimmer while Scrubs got Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry! I wonder if any show had Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc.
Very true. Oprah famously bought her own private jet because a female fan asked for a hug at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. She called her lawyer and said she’s never fly commercial again.
@@gudduentertainsThe subplot of Jenna and Tracy switching races, which includes use of blackface. The DVD and Blu-ray versions actually have the episode, so not all is lost.
@@Jamietheroadrunner S03E02, S05E04, S05E10, S06E19 (episodes with blackface/race-change make-up jokes) are removed from all streaming services and syndication. The only way to watch them now are on Blu-ray/DVD or piracy.
I see James Franco included then look for the upload date thinking this is an old compilation that aged badly. Nope. 2 weeks ago. What is wrong with y’all?
Most of them are in multiple scenes, so the appearances technically aren’t cameos, innit? Buzz Aldrin maybe? It’s been years since I last watched 30 Rock so don’t remember who did what but most of them are definitely guest appearances.
@@Dani-Ami in my opinion a cameo is an actor who appears briefly as themselves. these are all guest spots. so yes, aldrin was a cameo, as was james defranco and a few others. paul mccartney.

What a boring conversation to have about 30 Rock
Greenzo is very real. Now compost your feces, now!
Brian Williams showing up randomly was great too
Tina fey's amazing
"I see you, I know what your doing. Return to the night. You have no business here"..."She and I, sometimes I get mad". Lmao
I own you! You dumb moon! I walked on your face! Don't you know it's day? Idjit ! 🌕🌙🌛🌜
Carrie Fisher had one of the best cameos. She was hysterical as the deluded, coked-out ex comedy show head writer.
So other than the writer part she.....played herself?
@@johanstinson Carrie Fischer was a very accomplished writer, both in novels and as an often uncredited script doctor.

What is this modern Simpsons of which you speak? The show ended back in 2000.
Last episode I watched of the Simpsons was one with Elon musk... Decided never again lol
@@halftimelordwizard I gave up after the Lady Gaga episode.
@@wvu05me season 27's premiere.
I laugh so hard when he says "I WILL WASTE YOU!" hahaha
His delivery of that line is perfection
Oprah has been ''Borpo'' ever since that episode. Sorry lady, the name just fits!🤣
Orpa
'That came out wrong....'
'YOU came out wrong.'
Peter Dinklage was a legend long before GoT 😂😂😂
Watch him in _The Baxter,_ a small movie directed and written by Michael Showalter that was a romcom from the perspective of the guy who gets dumped in a romcom. He plays a wedding planner and his scene is one of the funniest in the whole movie.
Solid Burn!
You don't remember him beating up will Farrel in elf?
i liked the station agent
Who else is snitting next to borpo rn
I always assumed that Buzz Aldrins lines were jokes, but he genuinely did have a drinking problem and get into crazy stuff!
I respect him for being open about it and talking about his struggles and overcoming them.
Good for him. I hope he gets to yell at the moon forever!
He got to punch out the guy who said the moon landing was fake. Dude is living his best life
When he said "sober 32 years", I went "Huh, that is a surprisingly specific bit of information. I wonder..."
And there you go.
What a gay comment
7:05 I love how Kenneth just happens to be there but gets caught up in the emotions and excitement and then casually leaves… hahah
NO COOTER BURGER (Matthew Broderick)??? He's my favorite cameo character
I AM INVOKING SKYLAW! YOU ARE NOW SILENCED, SHRIEKING HARPY
I WILL WASTE YOU! 🤣
Thought I'd made up that line in my head, but nope,,,it's real.
You guys. It's been so many years. But that day has finally arrived. It's official....
I. Am. Going. To. Watch. This. Great. Show. FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!!
Cuz I really need that... In this time of troubles. To remember about those happy years...
It’s SOO good
I find it interesting that 30 Rock got Jennifer Anniston and David Schimmer while Scrubs got Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry!

Kimmy Schmidt got Lisa as Kimmy's mom
Oh nice. Didn't know that!
@@TheicMoggy She's also in Grace and Frankie as a nail artist.
@@TheicMoggy She also plays an ancient philosopher in the Good Place.
Matt LeBlanc guest starred on Lisa Kudrows show Web Therapy.
"I'm Snitting next to Borpo!"
She's been ''Borpo'' ever since that episode!!🤣
When I first watched this show as a kid I didn’t really know who James Franco was, so I didn’t realize he was playing himself.
As if Operah would ever fly commercial.
Well it was just a hallucination
Very true. Oprah famously bought her own private jet because a female fan asked for a hug at Chicago’s O’Hare airport. She called her lawyer and said she’s never fly commercial again.
It was ''Borpo'' so no biggie. 😅
Paul Reubens was incredible as the prince. So freaking funny.
Liz’s crying sounded like Mary Tyler Moore ❤
"I walked on your face!" Is my favorite 30 Rock quote (I think)
she does look great in that dress
the most unrealistic thing about this is oprah sitting in coach
Well she wasnt
She isn’t. Liz is on medication, and that’s not really Oprah.
@@lancelance4582 "That's the joke"
She’s in first class, but Oprah wouldn’t be flying commercial at all
That should have been the first clue for Liz to realize she was hallucinating.
OMG! Buzz Aldrin 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
David Schwimmer!!! Brilliant!!
Borpo flying commercial, hahahaha! Funny show
0:59 why show a clip from an episode you've removed from all streaming platforms?
God i love Dinllage's character. I wish he showed up more.
I still shout, “I walked on your face” when I see the moon.
RETURN TO THE NIGHT! YOU HAVE NO PLACE HERE!
I wanna watch B*tch Hunter with Will Ferrell
That was the greatest breakup ever
"Do you even bother to compost your own feces ? "
"You're insulted? I'm crying!"
Great show
LOL - Liz imitating Jerry
For the love of Gawd, its Tamiko chan.
I think Liz got into it, , who knows.
I want a movie starring Tina Fey & David Schwimmer. Or TV series
The Oprah episode is so good. Too bad they pulled it from all streaming services.
Why?
@@gudduentertainsThe subplot of Jenna and Tracy switching races, which includes use of blackface. The DVD and Blu-ray versions actually have the episode, so not all is lost.
Matt Damon's character wasn't just a cameo
Yeah these should just be called appearances
Oprah wearing one of her I love bread outfits.
David Schwimmer was my favorite guest star.
"do u even bother composting ur own f3c3s?
How did Kenneth's mom & her friend Ron get left out?
Buzz Aldrin is my favorite celebrity.
1:38 had me on the floor laughing
Oprah on a commercial flight? Not believable
LoL if you watched the full thing she was tripping on pills. It was someone else not Oprah.
Well, watch the episode
Liz's mom was the original Aldrin Cycler.
I walked on your face!
LEAP DAY WILLIAMS
I don't care how many people Jack shot, 30:Rock was great.
Buzz was perfect
Where's the Mick Jagger cameo? I've been waiting and searching for ever so long!
0:47, can you please post the Kenneth sacrifice part from that episode.
Don't forget Margaret Cho as Kim Jong Il in Seasons 5 & 6 and Condoleezza Rice as herself in S05E22!!
Forbidden Oprah!
It's funny because you can't even see that episode on streaming services anymore lol
@@justinmraap i still watch that episode
@@justinmraap Try Peacock, it and all other episodes are free w/no commercials at all.

You are silenced, shrieking harpy!
Loved this show so much! It was brilliant. Glad Tucker Carlson didn't make the list 🤣😂.
Tucker was on the show.
@@adulthumanfemale8666 Hard Ball season 1, episode 15. Jenna tells him "ya burnt" 🤣
Paul McCartney was probably my favorite celebrity cameo
I forgot Buzz Aldrin was on here. Have to say, his acting was better in 69
That small person's adverse attitude towards weirdness is ironically big-headed.
No Alan Alda or Tim Conway? Bah!
Buzz Aldrin. The living proof that not everybody can be an actor.
he’s done actually important things with his life so he’s good with not being a solid actor im sure.
His cameo was pretty amazing though, I thought it was the best celebrity cameo next to Carrie Fisher's lol but that's my opinion
he wasn't even that bad..
well he's not an actor? why would you expect him to be a good actor
Rules out faking the moon landing though 😂@@halftimelordwizard
As a brit I really enjoy these episodes.
As another Brit, I also do
As an American so do i
As a Verdukian, same.
GREENZO OUT!!
Tina Fey is emotionally a peer.
Hahahahaha!
Did they cut the Oprah episode
Yeah :c
Uh snitting nexta borpo
I see James Franco included then look for the upload date thinking this is an old compilation that aged badly. Nope. 2 weeks ago. What is wrong with y’all?
I mean it's not Kevin Spacey lol
James Franco being a bad guy doesn't make his appearance any less funny.
Old hag mad he wont go after you
are any of these cameos? does cameo just mean famous guest star on screen for any amount of time?
Most of them are in multiple scenes, so the appearances technically aren’t cameos, innit? Buzz Aldrin maybe?
