In this story co-written by Tina Fey and John Riggi (his second dealing with Liz's unlucky love life), Liz and Jenna meet the title characters (see the picture).  Jenna urges Liz to ask out the nerdy balding guy, but Gray, the handsome guy with nice hair, asks out Liz.  She has to get over her insecurities, and then it turns out that she and Gray are third cousins.  Meanwhile, Jack and Kevin trade jobs and the latter explains why he loves being a page; and, in the least interesting thread, Toofer and Frank try to help Tracy write his autobiography.

Teddy Coluda returns as the Stage Manager.  Craig Castaldo has his first of three 30 Rock roles, as Moonvest.  Executive Ali Reza previously was the Sandwich Guy.  Michal Antonov makes her first of two appearances that year as Young Liz.  I'm unclear how Marcus Collins, who previously played a Bartender, is "The Hair" when that is supposed to be Gray, but that's what IMDB says.  And John McEnroe makes his first of four appearances as himself.
