30 Rock 6x19

Directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller

Katrina Bowden as Cerie • John Lutz as J.D. Lutz • Grizz Chapman as Grizz Grizzwold • Sue Galloway as Sue • Cheyenne Jackson as Danny Baker

Kabletown chooses to stop funding live shows for TGS. While Liz and Jack embrace the change, Kenneth argues that live format should be kept intact, and he tries to convince the TGS staff to fight for their right to be live by taking them and our audience through a magical look back at the illustrious history of Studio 6H. The episode was filmed twice. The East Coast version aired for the Eastern, Central and Mountain time zones. The West Coast version was aired in the western, Alaskan and Hawaiian time zones.

1. Live television.

2. Who cares?

3. Who cares? Everybody.

4. We love live TV.

5. Do we, Lemon?

6. Do you really love the overzealous studio audience

7. who will applaud at anything?

8. Here in the greatest city on earth, New York City, baby? Whassup?

9. Wait, what are you saying, Jack?

10. 'Cause "TGS" is live.

11. Not any more.

12. It's financially impractical.

13. From now on, you write and shoot the whole season in two weeks

14. like "Wheel of fortune" or FOX news.

15. No.

16. I mean, I grew up on live TV.

17. Friday night in my parents basement.

18. A telethon and cheese steaks.

19. I can see it like it was yesterday.

20. Best prom night ever!

21. I'm going to lose my virginity in nine years.

22. "TGS" has to be live

23. or it will lose all the excitement and spontaneity.

24. That's the beauty of live TV.

25. Anything can happen.

26. There's a bathroom in here

27. you can use, sir Paul McCartney.

28. See?

29. Awesome.

30. Yes.

31. But my way is cheaper,

32. and you only have to work two weeks out of the year.

33. I want to go to there.

34. So it's settled.

35. Tonight is TGS's final live show.

36. What?

37. No, live television is an American tradition.

38. You can't just throw it away!

39. Sorry, Kenneth.

40. It's a done deal.

41. Our last live show?

42. No.

43. 30 ROCK s06 ep19 - Live from studio, east coast

44. Hey!

45. There's a rumor spreading around here like wildfire.

46. But unlike the wildfires I've started,

47. this one doesn't sexually arouse me.

48. It's true, Hazel.

49. Tonight will be our last live show but don't worry.

50. It won't affect you.

51. Unless my plan all along

52. was to run on stage during a sketch

53. and get discovered by Hollywood.

54. Liz.

55. An important me-nouncement.

56. Paul and I have decided to get married.

57. Oh. Wow.

58. And I told Paul that he should propose to me tonight on TG...

59. - Absolutely not! - You didn't let me finish.

60. S.

61. Jen, come one, it's our last live show!

62. Exactly!

63. And it's Jenna Maroney is getting engaged,

64. it's going to be on live TV.

65. I've been working on my reaction since I was 3.

66. Aaah!

67. It's happening, Liz.

68. Miss Lemon,

69. Mr. Donaghy just discovered you can get pornography on the Internet.

70. Oh, my gosh.

71. He's going to die in there.

72. What's going on?

73. You called a meeting, Lemon.

74. Actually, I called it.

75. Gasp!

76. Live television is sacred,

77. and we are not leaving this room

78. until the 12 of us have agreed to defend her.

79. There is a great American play

80. that was first written and performed for live television.

81. It's called "12 angry men."

82. No, we are not debating this like a jury.

83. Shut him down, Jack.

84. "12 angry men" is preposterous Kenneth.

85. 11 decent Americans are swayed by Jane Fonda's father?

86. Open the door.

87. How long do you think you'll get away with this?

88. Hazel or Jenna will know that we're missing.

89. Have an amazing set tonight, everyone.

90. I love you all.

91. Tonight, night, Hazel.

92. I do my surprise cameo

93. it goes viral, I take medicine for it.

94. Next stop, Hollywood, Florida

95. to get the car from my mom.

96. Next stop, California, Pizza Kitchen,

97. to tell my old boss, suck it.

98. Next stop, tinseltown,

99. because Christmas decorations are really cheap this time of year.

100. Nothing brings our country together like live television.

101. In studio 6h, it's a part of that tradition.

102. Why it was right here that NBC broadcast the final episode

103. of the 1950s classic

104. "The Lovebirds."

105. It's the grandpa replacement comedy hour

106. sponsored by Kraft Singles.

107. Make it with milk, is the cheese that won World War II.

108. And now, "The Lovebirds."

109. Starring Cubby Gilmore and Loretta Fields.

110. I'm home, baby.

111. And I could eat a horse.

112. Don't you dare touch that bacon till it's done, Larry.

113. Ooooooh.

114. Ooooo-boy.

115. Oh, brother, now I'm cooking a Turkey, too.

116. That's rich.

117. One of these days, I'm going to take a shot and blam!

118. And blow your face off.

119. It would still be better than our honeymoon.

120. What was wrong with Niagara Falls?

121. Your mother found it chilly.

122. You're a real cut-up.

123. In fact, one of these days I'm gonna cut you up in pieces

124. and feed you to the neighbor's dogs.

125. It will be the first time you've taken me out for dinner in years.

126. Keep it up, Doris and bang, zoom,

127. I'm going to drown you in the bathtub and say a mental patient did it.

128. Like I always say...

129. Aaaaachh.

130. That's a funny thing to say.

131. This is real.

132. Real heart attack.

133. Here, eat the bacon.

134. It'll lubricate your heart.

135. Ride it out.

136. Ride it to hell.

137. Come on now, Larry. Don't be a sissy...

138. I'm having a heart attack, too.

139. My marriage is a sham.

140. My makeup lady is my lover.

141. Hello. I'm Nazi doctor Heinrich Spaceman.

142. I mean doctor.

143. We can edit that out, right?

144. Oh, it's live!

145. Are you a modern housewife who is in the family way?

146. Smoke Chattertons cigarettes.

147. Your baby's lungs need refreshing nicotine for science reasons.

148. And his growing bones need tar to hold them together.

149. Nine out of ten doctors surveyed said, who is this?

150. Why are you calling so late?

151. But the tenth guy was into it.

152. Jenna, remember that package

153. you made me take to Singapore last summer?

154. I just got out of Changi prison.

155. Thank you. Just portion control and exercise.

156. Paul!

157. Did you pick up the ring?

158. Liza Minnelli's baby tooth

159. surrounded by rubies that passed through a terrified Michael Kors.

160. It'll look amazing on camera.

161. Look. I don't want to propose on TV.

162. I want it to be private.

163. What are you saying, Paul?

164. Rick Santorum is right.

165. Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman.

166. Which is why I'm asking you right now

167. to make me the luckiest schman...

168. Look, I'm sorry to play the biological woman card here,

169. but according to Roe V. Dwyane Wade,

170. I have a right to choose.

171. And I choose a televised proposal.

172. If you can't give me that,

173. I'm not sure what my answer will be.

174. Are you giving me an ultimatum?

175. Look, I am the man here, Jenna.

176. I may have a dress and a wig and a gynecologist,

177. but I am the man.

178. Without live TV,

179. think of the amazing moments we would have missed.

180. The moon landing.

181. The Beatles.

182. "The Voice" results show.

183. That time Mr. Lutz was an extra

184. and he got so nervous he threw up.

185. No, don't remind him.

186. Oh, I had veal.

187. I had veal with cheese on it.

188. And what about Joey Montero's

189. old variety show?

190. He was just like you, Mr. Jordan,

191. because he didn't want to rehearse

192. and he wanted to get out of there

193. as soon as possible.

194. Ladies and gentlemen, Joey Montero.

195. We've got a great show for you tonight.

196. We got a great show.

197. At least that's what the Jews I pay tell me.

198. I tell you, I feel great. I slept like a baby last night.

199. I woke up crying with a boob in my mouth.

200. Okay, that was the joke stuff.

201. All right, here comes a lady.

202. Hi, Joey, I'm Dusty Springfield.

203. Sure, let's go with that.

204. I can see it inside your mouth.

205. Oh, we are on a bounch.

206. That's pretty.

207. Where's the gang going tonight fellas?

208. you're invited, too, stringbean

209. but bring the coofee for the morning, if you know what I'm saying.

210. I just burped up clams casino which is weird 'cause I didn't have any.

211. Well, hello there glasess.

212. Glamour.

213. Excitement.

214. What we today would call alcoholism.

215. Live television had everything.

216. Well, not everything.

217. Where were the black people?

218. Oh.

219. Actually, Mr. Spurlock,

220. NBC had the first two black characters on TV.

221. Sort of.

222. For "Alfie and Abner," NBC hired

223. one African-American and one Caucasian

224. because they thought two black people on the same show

225. would make the audience nervous.

226. A rule NBC still uses today.

227. Abner, I'm home from work.

228. Where are you, my brother?

229. Here I is, Alfie.

230. Oh, hell no. I am not doing this.

231. NBC received a lot of complaints...

232. That the show wasn't on often enough.

233. So they forced Theodore Freeman to honor his contract.

234. I's done stole this catfish.

235. Sir, I am asking you as a human being

236. so please stop talking like that.

237. I's gonna eat it till I'm bellyful.

238. This is debasing to both of us.

239. I was a tuskegee airman.

240. Zip-a-Dee-goo-goo.

241. You may anger me,

242. but I believe nonviolence is the path to change.

243. And I believes you can catch a rainbow in your hat.

244. I'll kill you, you ignorant

245. believe it or not, they did not stop doing the show,

246. which made for tense but thrilling live TV.

247. Banjo...

248. Kenneth.

249. I've frankly lost track

250. of what you were trying to convince us of

251. with these detailed descriptions of television shows.

252. Thank you.

253. Come on.

254. Times change. Television replaced radio.

255. Cars replaced horses.

256. Not where I'm from.

257. Are you telling me the mayor of your hometown is a car?

258. Pretty weird.

259. Why are you laughing at me?

260. Okay. Let's all take a little break.

261. Hello. I'm Nazi doctor Leo Speceman.

262. I know it's live, I want people to know.

263. Did your mother smoke Chatterton cigarettes while pregnant

264. during the 1950s or 60s?

265. If she did, you probably can't hear me

266. because of fetal Chatterton syndrome.

267. Turn up the volume!

268. Recent study is it show that

269. while pregnancy is disgusting,

270. babies do not need tar or nicotine.

271. If you are currently suffering from Chatterton syndrome,

272. please, use your Bird-like claws to dial the number below

273. then use the rectum you have instead of a mouth

274. to say something like "wrulgh" or

275. "thunghth"

276. to signify that you wish to join a class action suit against Chattertons.

277. All right. This is idiotic.

278. We've got a show to do it and...

279. Oh, my God, Kenneth.

280. It's my period.

281. It's a-gonna blow.

282. We both know you're not due for another nine days.

283. And I'm ashamed of you, Ms. Lemon.

284. Think of your hero, Rosemary Howard.

285. She wrote for the edgiest live variety show of all time,

286. "The Gruber Brother and Nipsey."

287. Hey, Nipsey, what do you get when you cross a chicken with a hippie?

288. I don't know, Dickie.

289. What do you get when you cross a chicken with a hippie?

290. I don't know, but LBJ likes them both fried.

291. Lay it on me.

292. Lay it on me.

293. Lay it on me.

294. Lay it on me.

295. Now, as you know, Nipsey...

296. I'm the first streaker.

297. Streaking's the new thing.

298. We touched penises.

299. We interrupt this program to bring you an NBC news special report.

300. From Rockefeller center,

301. Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.

302. Good evening.

303. NBC news has learned that less than an hour ago

304. there was an explosion aboard the Apollo 13 spacecraft.

305. - David? - Thank you, Chet.

306. Chet?

307. Thank you, David.

308. We are awaiting further information. David?

309. Thank you, Chet.

310. Let's go to the manned space center in Houston

311. and our reporter on the scene, Mr. Jamie Garnett.

312. Jamie?

313. Thank you, Chet and David.

314. I'm sorry, sweetheart, could you move out of the way of our camera?

315. We need to talk to our new reporter Jamie Garnett.

316. Now, where is he?

317. I'm Jamie Garnett, gentlemen.

318. I spoke earlier with NASA flight director Glynn Lunney...

319. Listen, doll, you're not making any sense.

320. You're probably hysterical from menstruation.

321. Go lie down and make sure you get plenty of iron.

322. Maybe eat a ham salad...

323. And I'm being told that commander James Lovell...

324. Honey, you have a dynamite shape,

325. but you're going to have to shut up

326. and let a man tell us what's happening.

327. Now, is your father or a policeman nearby?

328. Look, where did you find that microphone, sugar mouth?

329. Was it just lying there on the ground?

330. Where is Jamie Garnett?

331. This just in, male NBC news reporter Jamie Garnett is missing.

332. I'm right here you mother...

333. Classic live television.

334. And while they never found Jamie Garnett,

335. that woman who stole his microphone went on to become

336. a wife.

337. Has Paul not come back? He's not answering his phone.

338. What have I done?

339. Calm down. Paul's gone,

340. but you're getting proposed to on the show tonight.

341. By me.

342. This is New York state bitch,

343. anyone can marry anything now.

344. What? But...

345. Come on. Everything you want,

346. think what great TV this will be.

347. It's all you want.

348. No, it's not what I want.

349. Paul is everything I want.

350. He's the reason to get married,

351. not TV.

352. Rick Santorum was right.

353. How could I have been so blind?

354. Because you're a horrible person?

355. Thank you. Just portion control and lots of water.

356. All in favor of keeping "TGS" live?

357. It's still not unanimous. And it never will be.

358. This is a business, Kenneth, and

359. if live TV went away,

360. the only thing that would change would be NBC's profit margin.

361. That's not true, Jackie D.

362. Oh, come on, that wasn't that dramatic.

363. Live TV changed my life.

364. In 1986 my church dance crew

365. performed on a regional telethon.

366. It was my big break.

367. Flashback.

368. This is for you, Jesus.

369. Ow, my coccyx!

370. It's not funny.

371. Coccyx is the scientific term for your butt bone.

372. Why are you all laughing?

373. I like it.

374. Coccyx.

375. Coccyx.

376. You know what this is?

377. This is the garry-o-many core.

378. Oh, my God.

379. I remember that.

380. That was you?

381. That's when I realized I was a ridiculous man.

382. Tracy, I was there.

383. As a lower-level GE employee,

384. I was answering phones at that telethon.

385. When you took off your clothes,

386. they cut to the phone banks.

387. Gasp.

388. I made a hilarious prank call

389. to that telethon.

390. Did the man who answered the phone

391. sound like he had the piercing blue eyes of an ice dragon?

392. Yes.

393. Hello, I'd like to speak to General Electric.

394. Madam,

395. I'm afraid you're confused.

396. I was a nurse in the war

397. and I met him when he was just a colonel.

398. He's the father of my child.

399. General Electric is not a person.

400. Toby, come talk to your father.

401. Daddy, it's your son, Toby Electric.

402. I can tell by your voice that

403. you are a very ungainly teenage girl from

404. southeastern Pennsylvania.

405. Ah-ha, ya burnt.

406. How you like me now?

407. Young lady, no one... no one

408. jokes down General Electric.

409. And if I ever...

410. Do you mind?

411. If I ever

412. get my thick, manly hands on you,

413. I will roast you alive in an oven I design myself,

414. using two, no, three kinds of heat.

415. I'm Jack Donaghy, damn it.

416. Watching you get all red-faced on TV,

417. that was the night I found my calling...

418. Sticking it to the man.

419. You know what? That night changed my life, too.

420. Don Geiss saw my

421. loyalty/handsomeness and the next day

422. he promoted me out of poisons and into microwaves.

423. Live TV made us all what we are today.

424. No need to take another vote.

425. "TGS" is meant to be live.

426. To make it more profitable,

427. we'll just do more sponsor product placements

428. you should do it with the upcoming Warner Brothers movie,

429. "Rock of Ages," based on the hit Broadway musical.

430. Rocking a theater near you June 15th.

431. Tom Cruise sings.

432. Or I'll just pay you all less.

433. Kenneth, let us out of here.

434. Paul didn't come.

435. I ruined everything.

436. Yeah, you blew it.

437. So I'll just jump out at some point and lez it up with you?

438. Okay.

439. We're on in five, four,

440. three, krang...

441. And now, "Prince William and time travelling fart detectives".

442. Ha, take that the man!

443. Prince, do you smell something fishy?

444. Who's that dude?

445. Jenna Maroney, you're the woman I want to grow old with.

446. "Old" being an acronym for oxylaprodexatrin,

447. a hallucinogenic plant extract that makes sex terrifying.

448. I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy.

449. That's why I'm asking you, on TV, to marry me.

450. Oh, Paul.

451. No, no, a million times no.

452. Not like this.

453. I don't want to get married for publicity.

454. I want to get married for you.

455. And so you don't testify against me in court.

456. I still don't know what's going on.

457. Classic live TV?

458. I slipped.

459. I slipped and hit my head in the bathroom.

460. Who am I?

461. You are my boyfriend.

462. We were just going to call some people I went to high school with.

463. Thanks to Lorne Michaels,

464. Paul McCartney,

465. John Hamm, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell, Will Forte, Donald Glover, Kristen Schaal

466. Cheyenne Jackson, Beth McCarthy-Miller.

467. SNL crew, I love you, 30 Rock crew, I love you.

468. This happened again.

469. How did that happen?

470. Watch "Parks and Rec" tonight

471. directed by Amy Pohler.
