Nothing quite works in this Ron-Weiner-written episode, which introduces Cheyenne Jackson as new TGS cast member Danny Baker. (Real first name Jack, but Jack Donaghy immediately renames him.) "Danny" is trying to get his bearings, but he gets dubious advice, including from the title team. Tracy and Jenna also give Liz bad business advice that pits her against Jack, until the rom-com-ish resolution scene. This isn't as painful as a Season Five episode, but it does show the beginnings of the decline, with characters Flanderized for the sake of jokes, rather than jokes revealing character.
Old Janitor Stewart Steinberg returns. Josh Fadem would be back as Liz's new agent, Simon Barrons.
