'30 Rock': James Franco, an Anime body pillow and Liz Lemon's pajamas
Twitter
Google
James Franco's run on ABC's soap opera "General Hospital" ends this Friday (Jan. 8), but his fascinating return to television continues next week when he guest stars on the Thursday, Jan. 14 episode of "30 Rock."
While the episode description for "Klaus and Greta" says much, it also says very little:After a wild New Year's Eve, Jack (Alec Baldwin) tries to undo the damage he caused from leaving a drunken message on an ex-lover's voicemail. In the meantime, Jenna (Jane Krakowski) pursues a faux relationship with actor James Franco (guest starring) in an attempt to cover up his embarrassing secret. After "outing" her sheltered cousin to his family, Liz (Tina Fey) welcomes him to New York City, while Tracy (Tracy Morgan) discovers a newfound respect for women.
See, that's an action-packed episode. Yet, no mention of the Anime body pillow, or why Liz is wearing Franco's pajama bottoms. Or, rather, why he's wearing her pajama top.
Any guesses? Check out the rest of the photos below for clues.

Obvious troll is obvious
30 rock is overrated.. and this is coming from a guy that likes the show a lot..
I think it is a great show. Very talented people on it.
james franco days end on general hospital january 11 not the 8th sam look great in the glass tube today you should not have change her cloths i no you did not get a feel because no one no which team where you swing from
I can almost guarantee the body pillow angle was inspired by this NYT Magazine story: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/26/magazine/26FOB-2DLove-t.html
Not even Franco can save 30Crap.
No matter how much good free press, people don't like propaganda.
Man, there are so many trolls in this thread! Why bother reading or commenting on an article about a show you don't even like? Too much time on your hands, I suppose.
I'm guessing from the plot synopsis that James Franco's dark secret is that he has a Japanese "anime love pillow" (there is a NY Times article about this phenomenon) and, at some point, Liz tries to cure him of his addiction by dressing up like an anime girl. You can tell by her makeup.
I love this show.
There'a a shock more stunt casting for a horrible show just hoping for ratings!!!
Does this come on opposite the Jonas Brothers or something? Seriously yall, calm the heck down.
