I've heard some things about 30 Rock writing room in that it was a very difficult writing environment. Tina Fey is a workaholic and wrote deep into the night. It didn't sound like it would be very fun to work there.

Iā€™m glad they worked hard because they gave us one of the best shows of all time

Do you want to write 30 Rock or do you want to write TGS?

30 Rock is a very demanding show with a very high level of quality. If I worked there, I'd probably be worked to death and my poor quality of ideas would probably result in all my dumb fart jokes getting rejected.

If you wrote for TGS, as far as I can tell the show is utterly terrible. Just recycle an old fart doctor sketch and call it a day. But then you gotta deal with Tracy who doesn't rehearse and Jenna who constantly locks herself into her dressing room

I imagine I'd work my ass off and bring a draft of a one-minute scene with, say, 15 jokes sprinkled throughout ā€“ they'd probably tell me to just quit if I'm not going to be serious about my job: we can't have so few jokes in such a timespan.
