Script Vs Screen

We took a look at one of our favorite shows 30 Rock. Both the script and the show are filled with joke after joke, and the pilot script gives you a real glimpse into what it was like writing for Saturday Night Live. Created by Tina Fey 30 Rock is filled with unbelievable and unbelievably funny characters Tracy Jordan, Jenna Maroney, Kenneth Parcell, Pete Hornsberger, Frank Rossitano and the venerable Jack Donaghy. Perhaps the biggest change on the show was the character of Jenna initially written for and played by Rachel Dratch in the test pilot.
