Worst Gig Ever with Geoff Garlock and Mike PaceNate Smith (30 Rock, UCB)Comic actor Nate Smith (aka "Johnny Reaction") is in the hot seat this week, waxing philosophical on fear and loathing in pilot season, horrific audtions in hot, tiny rooms, and what he's really writing when he's playing one of the Writers Who Never Speak on 30 Rock.
