How will Jack stay in the good graces of the suits at Kabletown, which just acquired GE Sheinhardt NBC Universal (coincidentally as Comcast takes over the real NBC)? With the secret weapon known as Sherri Shepherd, of course! After the midseason break, she’ll return to 30 Rock as Tracy’s wife, Angie, who stars in her own suspiciously Real Housewives-esque reality show. “Jack realizes she has all the attributes for a reality show,” exec producer Robert Carlock says. “And Liz, in spite of herself, is saying, ‘Yeah, I would watch that.’” Jack’s also got another network-exec innovation up his sleeve, too: a star-studded disaster relief benefit. For, of course, a disaster that’s yet to happen. “Jack has this idea that the highest-rated reality events are celebrity disaster relief benefits,” Carlock says, “so he decides to pre-tape one and beat the other networks to the punch.”
We’ll also meet Jack’s new Kabletown boss, though he’s yet to be cast. Any ideas?

Can Wanda Sykes be his boss??!?!
oh man i laughed just reading that. that’s gonna be good. i really only like sherri on this show
I would love to see Michael Shannon portray Jack’s new Kabletown boss. Michael Shannon is about the only actor that could intimidate Jack, and who knows… maybe he has some comedic chops?
What a great idea! After last night’s Boardwalk Empire, it’d be nice to see Michael Shannon in something comedic!
This sounds hilarious! The Sherri Shephard idea is truly inspired and the pre-taped disaster relief show will worth it just to hear Jack say, ‘Shut it down’ ala the fireworks extravaganza he orchestrated in downtown NYC! I think the Kabletown boss should be played by John Malkovich!
Frankie Muniz
Brilliant! Somebody who is rediculously young and looks even younger would be awesome.
I love it!
you’re my boy blue.
Let’s get some more 30 Rock/ AMC crossover. So I nominate Bryan Cranston as Jack’s new boss.
James Gandolfini????
Was just going to suggest this. He would be good – surprizingly funny.
Brad Pitt. Maybe Matt can persuade him. I also nominate Meryl Streep channeling Devil Wears Prada.
Almost has to be Will Arnett, doesn’t it? Return of Banks!
Christpher Walken
Hello…Kim Basinger, anyone?
Should be a younger handsome male to really get Jack upset: James Marsden, John Stamos, Sam Page, Zach Braff, Jason Bateman…
Lou Grant (Ed Asner)!!!!
still the freshest sit-com on tv. a motherlode of sharp ideas.
Will Arnet. Would love to see him return now that he is free from his other show.
