30 Rock Alludes to Problems with Live Tapings
Last week 30 Rock did another live episode. It was phenom. Anyways, Tina Fey's character, Liz Lemon, is worried the entire time about whether or not they should keep TGS live or not. This has been a problem with Saturday Night Live as well. There have been injuries, unbleeped curse words and other controversies that have occurred in the live tapings of SNL.
1976-John Belushi's Samurai Delicatessen cut Buck Henry's head with his sword by mistake.
1992-Sinead O'Connor ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II after her musical performance in probably the eeriest way possible.
War - Sinéad O'CONNOR ( a cappella) on TV in 1992 by Petite-Pince-Sans-Rire
1996-The band, Rage Against the Machine hung the American Flag upside down from their apparel.
2009-Then new cast member, Jenny Slate dropped the F-bomb on her first show and the first show of the season. It was an honest mistake but it cost her SNL career. Poor girl, she was funny too.
I also remember when Kanye West was performing on the show post George Bush/Hurricane Katrina fiasco they made a skit out of it. After all, Yeezy is a loose cannon as we all know.
At the end of the episode, the TGS crew decides to keep the show live. But the best part was when one of the NBC Page's played by comedian Kristen Schaal rips up a picture of Sinead O'Connor on the live show. Nice touch.
Holy similar.
