Exclusive: Jennifer Aniston's '30 Rock'ing Jack Donaghy's World
Oh, 30 Rock, how I love thee, let me count the ways... Not only is the love of my TV life, Mr. Will Arnett, popping into the building this season to reprise his role as the hot-for-Kenneth Devon Banks, but now you're bringing another old "friend" of ours back to TV. As we learned late last week, Jennifer Aniston will guest star on the Emmy-winning series, though no information on her character has been released. Until now. I've done some digging, people, and I'm bringing you the dirt.
My well-informed sources say Aniston plays Liz and Jenna's old roommate from Chicago, who pays them a visit in the Big Apple. She's a free spirit who loves to party and isn't opposed to sleeping around. In fact, a certain slick, Republican 30 Rocker will catch her eye. That's right. Move over Condoleezza Rice. Step aside Congresswoman C.C. Cunningham. There's a new woman in Jack Donaghy's bed and she looks a lot like the chick who used to bang Brad Pitt (and by "bang," I of course mean that she was married to him for more than four years).
Word is, their "relationship" won't be the healthiest, as Donaghy gets addicted to Aniston's character, and she becomes a total psycho... much to poor Liz Lemon's disapproving chagrin.
Now, is this the stuff that Guest Starring Emmy Nods are made of, my friends? Are you happy that Aniston's playing a character instead of cameo'ing as herself? Comment below.
Blurgh! The talentless Jennifer Anistron destroys everything she touches. I hope she doesn't ruin my favorite show.

ggny | Sep 2, 2008 4:10:56 PM | #Agreed. If Seinfeld could rope viewers in imagine what this will do.
Heck How I Met Your Mother upped it's ratings by hiring Britney Spears. Jennifer Aniston's even an actress!
Matt | Sep 2, 2008 4:17:06 PM | #Good scoop Korbs, hope Aniston can attract more people to the best show on TV.
P | Sep 2, 2008 4:48:05 PM | #Agreed as well. This does nothing but help the show (not that it needed help).
chad | Sep 2, 2008 5:15:39 PM | #everyone calling her talentless right now can suck it. look at you and look at her....
anonymous | Sep 2, 2008 10:08:43 PM | #I LOVE Jennifer and think she will do a GREAT job!!
Lisa | Sep 2, 2008 11:53:38 PM | #calling jennifer aniston talentless is just, well how should i put this... inaccurate.
ohh, that was surprisingly easy ;)
Jordan | Sep 3, 2008 1:10:51 AM | #Jennifer Aniston is the most beautiful woman ever to grace the small screen. The fact that she's also a talented actress is just icing on the cake.
Tom | Sep 3, 2008 7:48:58 AM | #Hmmm...let's recap:
Nominated for Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2002 & 2003 for Outstanding Performance by a Femaile Actor in a Comedy Series.
Won for Favorite Femail Television Performer in 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004 at the People's Choice Awards and was won as Favorite Female Movie Star in 2007
Nominated in 2003 by the Online Film Critics Society Awards for Best Actress for her role in The Good Girl.
Won Actress of the Year in 2002 at the Hollywood Film Festival.
Won an Emmy in 2002 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and was nominated in 200, 2001, 2003 & 2004.
I think this makes a pretty good case that Jennifer is one talented actress and will definitely be a great for a guest arc on 30 Rock.
I am looking forward to seeing Jen on 30 Rock, I agree she is beautiful AND talented as John just mentioned..........guess the first poster doesn't know what he is talking about.....
Kathie | Sep 3, 2008 10:48:02 AM | #Now, if they could just get rid of Alex Baldwin the the show would really take off.
Maxie | Sep 3, 2008 12:08:09 PM | #They should TOTALLY get rid of ALEX Baldwin. Whoever that is.
Just me | Sep 3, 2008 1:31:35 PM | #"Jennifer Aniston is the most beautiful woman ever to grace the small screen".
That has to be one of the most inaccurate statements ever made. She might make a top 100 list I guess.....to each their own I 'spose. I don't particularly like her as an actress myself, but she isn't completely without talent. Just hope she left her reported "diva-ness" at home that day. And if not, I hope Tina was merciless with her!
Get rid of Alec Baldwin, how can you even suggest that??? You must not watch the show...he is freaking Hi-larious!
Kim | Sep 4, 2008 9:01:16 AM | #What's a Baldwin?
Pollyanna | Sep 5, 2008 2:30:37 PM | #2 words: Greek Goddess
bahappy12 | Sep 11, 2008 6:24:31 PM | #I don't watch 30 Rock, but since Jennifer Aniston is going to be on, I'll make sure I watch. I watch everything she's in.
