Jon on 30 Rock

Thanks to the snow, I caught Jon’s cameo on 30 Rock last night. (I had been scheduled for an evening meeting, which would have relegated me to catching it later on the internet.)

I guess that I misread the information that I had gotten on this, because I thought that he was going to be doing a guest star role, as opposed to a cameo as himself. That being said, what we got was pretty good. (NBC had better do its best to hold onto Tina Fey as long as possible. She’s one of the few truly talented people that they’ve got right now.)

Personally, I loved the jokes about the band’s “Artist in Residence” stint that they did with NBC earlier this year. The satire there was pretty much spot-on in skewering the overexposure that the band managed to get out of it.

Jon’s acting skills usually aren’t all that great, but for some reason, he’s good at playing the straight man. (Probably years of practice around certain of his bandmates.) That was also put to good use here.

Also, FINALLY, Jon’s hair is blond again! It actually looked decent for the first time in quite awhile. Not sure what it’ll take to get him to go back to being a blond permanently, even though it’s the most flattering hair color for him these days.

All told, a decently good evening’s entertainment.
