[Jack and Liz get into an elevator]

JACK: [phone vibrates] It's from Nancy. She says she's in line behind the female Larry Bird. Oh god. There's a photo.

LIZ: [looks at picture on phone] Come on, how is Female Larry Bird holding hands with a guy? What am I doing wrong?

[Jack takes a photo of Liz]

LIZ: What's that for?

JACK: I'm telling Nancy that I'm with Female Kevin McHale.

I lol'ed...

...never seen 30 Rock though; however if their writers are 'hip' enough to include references to the Celtics in the dialogue then the show can't be half-bad. (not trying to sound like J. Jonas Jameson of the Daily Bugle)

 the whole episode was pretty good - but the boston accents were way over the top - pretty sure that was intentional though.

I hate to be a buzz kill, but I think the Kevin McHale comment may have been a reference to the show Glee. (Though the Celtics connection makes much more sense.)

Here's why I think this:



Kevin McHale is (also) an actor who, yep, looks a little bit like Liz, though I'm baffled about why they'd take a poke at him. Makes more sense it'd be the other, but, you know, she doesn't look a thing like that guy...

Just my two pennies...

I don't think so. The whole episode was about going to Boston. I think it was intended to be about the Boston Celtic Kevin McHale.
Also, I highly doubt a NBC show would reference something about a Fox show.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Oh, I know. It makes much more sense that it be a Boston reference, and yeah, the whole ep was about being there, and the character, Jack, is *from* Boston, but...

Well, she really does look like this kid. :-)

And it's not unusual these days for shows to makes references to other networks' shows. (Haven't we had two+ weeks of Leno jokes on every late nite talk show there is? [g] )

But, you're right - it makes more sense that it's a Celtics reference.
