Interview: Jack McBrayer & Robert Carlock from 30 Rock
With the new season starting what kind of - there's usually an overarching arc for Liz, last season it was the pregnancy. What kind of arc are we going to see for this year?
Robert Carlock: Yeah, you know, we did sort of a lot of as you said we touch on a lot of personal stuff for people last year and we're kind of starting off the season getting back into the office stuff and continuing where she left off last year with this sort of little potential brush with fame with this sketch that she had that turns into a book and maybe she tries to turn into - with Jack's help - into a TV show with this deal breakers thing.
And kind of asking the questions of, yeah, always asking the question with Liz of what is next for her and can she take that next step and both with personal life and with work. And so the beginning of the season concentrating on work with that and then hopefully getting back into her quest for elusive happiness in general.
Robert, I wanted to ask what can you tell us about the reports of Cheyenne Jackson joining the show? Is he going to be a regular and what's his character going to be?
Robert Carlock: Yeah, he'll be hopefully coming in and out. He's a busy guy. And we've had him in for one. And the idea is someone who is in our world, you know, one of the sort of workplace arcs in the beginning of the season is Jack and his effort to appeal to a broader audience and to what he keeps calling real America to Liz's dismay.
Wants to bring in a new cast member to TGS and Cheyenne ultimately - excuse me - fills that role. And he's great and we've all seen him on Broadway and stuff. So he'll be appearing from time to time but who lives in the world if that makes any sense.
Are we going to get to Cheyenne do any singing?
Robert Carlock: Boy I hope so. We haven't hit that yet. We've got to get a duet with him and Jane and we'll be...
Jack McBrayer: ...a big waste if we didn't.
Robert Carlock: Yeah. We would be - right we'll walk up to the bell and fail to ring it. But hopefully, yeah.
Robert, I noticed during the Emmys a lot was written online about Robert Pattinson. Is there any talk of actually getting him on the show?
Robert Carlock: Boy I don't think I've even heard that rumor. I mean, that would certainly drive teenage girl viewership wouldn't it? I don't think that one's even crossed my desk. That'd be great. He should - we'd love it. But we hear a lot of rumors about people and I hadn't even heard that one.
