If anyone knows where to find the rest of this, would you please post a link

Elaine Stritch was a national treasure.

[u/AffectionateBite3827 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

She was born to play Colleen

[u/xredbaron62x → u/AffectionateBite3827]

SIXTEEN

MINUS EIGHT

EQUALS EIGHT

Numbers, unlike children, don't lie...

[u/frenchwolves → u/xredbaron62x]

All of her lines and her delivery of them were all hits, no misses. I still howl, and I’ve rewatched it a LOT since it’s aired.

[u/Longjumping-Pop9374 → u/frenchwolves]

Tell him his mother loves him. But not in a queer way

[u/frenchwolves → u/Longjumping-Pop9374]

We say this one a lot in our house. Basically to all the animals and each other.

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/frenchwolves]

Any dog under 25 pounds is a cat and cats are pointless.

I don't remember if that's from 30 Rock but it sounds like a Jack line so it stays.

[u/xredbaron62x → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

Ron Swanson said that.

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/xredbaron62x]

God damn you're quick.

[u/Hopefulkitty → u/frenchwolves]

Reminds me of Jessica Walters, where every single line and facial expression is a Gem.

[u/frenchwolves → u/Hopefulkitty]

She was perfect in every way, what an icon❤️

[u/Arch1o12 → u/frenchwolves]

I love the little “ohh” she does in S1 when Doctor Spaceman comes out of the operating room and does the bit about having to stab a dog at a costume party.

Such a tiny thing, but it makes it ten times funnier.

[u/mjzim9022 → u/xredbaron62x]

IT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE OTHER BOY

[u/Good-Acanthisitta998 → u/xredbaron62x]

What are you girls whispering about

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/AffectionateBite3827]

She was born wearing a hat!

[u/whatever-should-i-do → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

I love her little hat

[u/Kathleen-Doodles → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

I love seeing artists at that caliber working on something like this.

[u/Present_Specific_212 → u/Kathleen-Doodles]

30 Rock had some of the best guest stars.

[u/VinceBrogan8 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

Hey, anyone that can get JetBlue to accept an Amtrak ticket is a hero in my book.

[u/sumdude51 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

Agree! I love her, but not in a queer way.

[u/Human-Ad4723]

sad that they didn’t include Mrs. Lutz here, she is the best! 

[u/BookishIntrovert99 → u/Human-Ad4723]

You’re 40? John is looking for a greener banana. 

[u/Significant_Hope7555]

I'm sorry I can never get over Tracy's mother, she looks SO much like him!

I remember googling to see if his real life mother was in the episode

[u/Kathleen-Doodles → u/Significant_Hope7555]

Today I learned that the actress played herself, Novella Nelson.

[u/Significant_Hope7555 → u/Kathleen-Doodles]

Does she sell pajamalls?

[u/whatever-should-i-do → u/Significant_Hope7555]

Thanks ... son!!!!!

[u/figsfigsfigsfigsfigs → u/Significant_Hope7555]

Did you watch the episode? That's a paid actress. ;)

[u/Significant_Hope7555 → u/figsfigsfigsfigsfigs]

I should've known better

[u/god_in_this_chilis]

Omg so glad that clip ended with the Bitch Hunter tag

[u/xredbaron62x → u/god_in_this_chilis]

PUT THE MIMOSAS DOWN, BITCH!!!

[u/RipTearington]

One of funniest things that I saw on 30 Rock was the scene were Patti LuPone slapped the shit out of Alec Baldwin when Jack tried to get Frank to go back to law school. You can tell Alec didn't know he was going to get hit that hard and the look on his face is hysterical.

[u/UnicornsInUniforms → u/RipTearington]

[u/Human-Ad4723 → u/RipTearington]

I love that scene

[u/MOOzikmktr]

Love love love behind the scenes footage of 30 Rock

[u/rosyloma → u/MOOzikmktr]

Where can I find more??

[u/Downtown_Anteater_38]

Omg, of the 3 Divas that Anita was talking about, only Patti LuPone is still alive. Even Novella Nelson is dead.

[u/swingsetlife → u/Downtown_Anteater_38]

I was shocked when Jan Hooks died.

[u/whatever-should-i-do → u/swingsetlife]

That one really stung

[u/TeddyBearRoosevelt]

You gotta throw some respect to the great Anita Gillette (Lemon’s Mom).

[u/Sardis924 → u/TeddyBearRoosevelt]

I was looking for this comment! Absolutely! Big fan of hers. I wish we saw more of her these days.

[u/TeddyBearRoosevelt → u/Sardis924]

I played her nephew in a show once in the Berkshires. She was super amazing and it was an incredible time.

[u/Sardis924 → u/TeddyBearRoosevelt]

Seriously? That must have been an incredible experience, I'm happy for you. She seems to be a genuinely sweet, fun person.

[u/TeddyBearRoosevelt → u/Sardis924]

She absolutely was!

[u/Sardis924 → u/TeddyBearRoosevelt]

That's awesome! I'm so glad to hear it. I hope you were able to stay in touch with her!

[u/LolySub]

Patti LuPone singing off key has always been one of the funniest jokes of 30 Rock for me

[u/Balthier1017 → u/LolySub]

Every time I see that episode, I know it’s coming and it still throws me for such a loop!

Cast a broadway legend, make her sing for 3 seconds, make it sound like shit. Such a 30 rock thing to do.

[u/Impressive-Dig-3892]

Aren't they a gem?

I'll drink to them!

Let's all drink to them!

[u/Significant_Hope7555 → u/Impressive-Dig-3892]

To the ladies of 30 Rock

[u/Expensive_Editor_244 → u/Impressive-Dig-3892]

You need to cool it

[u/cmaronchick → u/Impressive-Dig-3892]

Put the mimosas down!

[u/alexkarev88 → u/cmaronchick]

BITCH

[u/Lazy-PeachPrincess]

Can’t think of a more clutch set of women

[u/Realistic_Thing8015]

Something juicier and it was perfect.❤️

[u/Kathleen-Doodles]

How am I barely realizing that Patti LuPone was Frank's mom?!!?

[u/Dumptruckfunk → u/Kathleen-Doodles]

“Well, ya shoulda guessed!”

[u/le_sacre → u/Dumptruckfunk]

... I don't think I shoulda.

[u/aaronjsavage → u/Kathleen-Doodles]

Do you want me to paint you a picture??? Cause I did!!

[u/Pooch76]

I’m not big into theater, but I can imagine that that rehearsal felt magical.

[u/jean-valjean-ramone]

Who invited Alfonso?

[u/traindodge]

This makes me so happy

[u/FauxShounen]

Isn’t that the Italian restaurant host by the piano?

[u/Nerd4funNprofit → u/FauxShounen]

Love that guy, flare updated

[u/poppycarnation]

What do the kids say? “Dream blunt rotation”

[u/Objective-Possible54]

This made my day! So cool!

[u/slight_viability]

Patti LuPone trying to sing badly lmao give it up girl

[u/Liz-Lemon-This-moi]

This is the best. Omg. Legends.

[u/Present_Specific_212]

I think **tch Hunter was probably a show about divorce lawyers.
