We’ve all watched TV before - it’s become one of life’s simple pleasures and laziest pastimes. And whether you’re sitting down to watch the newest episode of your favorite show, or tuning into the most recent breaking news, you’ve probably wondered what it’s like behind the scenes. Well they may not be 100% accurate, but 30 Rock and Great News are both here to give you a little comedic glimpse into the lives of the writers and producers of TV.
Great News (02:52) - Behind every great news network, is a great news anchor. And behind every great news anchor, is a great news producer. And then behind that news producer, is her mom who came out of retirement to work as a news intern. Not only does Katie have to deal with an eccentric, egotist news anchor and a somewhat terse and unforgiving boss, now she has to deal with her mom working by her side every day.
30 Rock (30:44) - It’s your favorite day of the week and you’ve gotten all excited to watch your favorite live comedy sketch show - The Girlie Show! But when it comes to live sketch comedy, there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than you may think. With a new network exec to impress, and a new unhinged co-star on her show, head writer, Liz Lemon, has a lot on her plate. But she’s not one to back down from a challenge.
