"30 Rock" Returns
Thursday, April 10, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) _ Tina Fey, the star and creator of NBC's "30 Rock," prefers cooperative, caring collaborators.
"I think there's a certain way of making comedy where you're a dangerous genius and you throw things across the room," Fey says, "and that's not how we do things over here.
"This is a very respectful work place. Everyone has a tremendous amount of discipline, from the actors to our writing staff."
A darling of critics from the start, the show has gotten so-so ratings, raising concerns it would be canceled. But then it picked up a best-comedy Emmy last year. Last week, it picked up a Peabody.
And NBC has picked up the show for a third season.
Fey talked to The Associated Press on the set of "30 Rock" recently as it was wrapping up the five new episodes that have been shot since the end of the Hollywood writers strike. The first one airs Thursday.
