“Work can be such a production.”
CreatorTina Fey
Liz Lemon, the harried head writer of a sketch show within a show, spends her days wrangling narcissistic stars and absurd network mandates while her personal life lags comically behind her professional competence. Tina Fey, who also created the series, plays Liz opposite Alec Baldwin's magnificently amoral executive Jack Donaghy, whose mentorship doubles as a running satire of corporate self-help. Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski supply volatile star-power chaos as Liz's headline performers, while Jack McBrayer's sunny page keeps the studio's absurdity tethered to something like innocence. Stuffed with rapid-fire non sequiturs, it remains one of the densest, sharpest satires of television ever made about television itself.
