Trivia
The song "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" was sung by actor Donald Glover doing a Tracy Morgan impression. Glover was a writer on 30 Rock at the time.

Goofs
When Leo Spaceman shows Jenna the wall of his famous clients, King Hollywood is on the far right and Ashlee Simpson is on the far left. Kenny Rogers is between them. When Jenna stands up to shake Leo's hand, Ashlee is on the far right and King Hollywood is on the far left. The whole scene takes place over a matter of seconds, so there is no way they could have been reversed.

Quotes
Kenneth Parcell: [to Tracy's recently estranged wife] I'm a real good sex person. I do it all the different ways.

9/10

Excellent Episode!

This is the second episode in the second season of 30 Rock and once again, it's a hilarious and extremely quotable episode. This episode manages to reference season one very well, namely with Jack's heart attack he had. Rip Torn is always a pleasure to be had as Don Geiss and of course Will Arnett is funny as Jack's longtime rival, Devon.

In this episode, "Jack Gets in the Game," Jack's rival Devon announces that he is not gay anymore and he dates Don Geiss's daughter in order to get close to Don. Devon also tries to use Jack's heart attack to his advantage. Meanwhile, Jenna is using her overweight status as an excuse for her fame. Kenneth has a plan to get Tracy jealous of his wife, which involves some very quotable lines.

Overall, this is an excellent episode full of one-liners and ensuing craziness. It seems like this season is going have a recurring theme of Jack's rivalry with Devon so it will be interesting to see how that pans out. I rate this episode 9/10.
