30 Rock: Christmas SpecialNBC

Even though this Fey & Cannon story includes Jack accidentally hitting his mother with a car, it's one of the funnier episodes of the series. Out of guilt, Jack flies his injured mother from Florida to New York, where she ends up staying with him and ruining his Christmas, until Liz makes him see that his mother really does love him, in her crusty way. Before this discovery, however, Jack throws together a last-minute Christmas special, just so he can avoid his mother. Meanwhile, Liz's faith in Christmas is shaken by what seems to be a scam, but Kenneth turns out to be right that everything is OK. And Jenna gets to sing.
Series composer Jeff Richmond again appears onscreen as musician Alfonso Disparioso. Audience Member Michael E. Bell would be an Intoxicated Star the next year, while Nilaja Sun would not reprise her role as Irene till 2012. Sue Galloway not only appears as Sue but shows off the bra that the other writers chipped in for. (Still not a speaking role yet though.) And Frank Anello of course is a member of the Production Staff, while Teddy Coluca is again the Stage Manager.
