...In the whirlwind of outrage around Bill Cosby, (click here) many people have asked why, given how long ago the first rape allegations against him became public, no one called him out sooner. But 30 Rock appears to have done just that—it just took most of us five years to get the joke.
In its third season, in an episode called “The Bubble,” Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) hatches a plan to bring back one of TGS’s big stars, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan).
