Continuity mistake: In the episode "The Fighting Irish", Jack's brother and father appear. Jack says "I haven't seen my father in 17 years." But throughout the rest of the series, it is mentioned many times that Jack's father ran away when Jack was little.
30 Rock (2006)
Starring: Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jack McBrayer, Scott Adsit
Genres: Comedy
Character mistake: Tina Fey fumbles her line and has to start it again. The original line should have been "How long do you think you're going to get away with this? Hazel or Jenna will know we're missing." Instead the second part of the line is "Henna or Jay; Hazel or Jenna will know we're missing!" (00:04:05)
Queen of Jordan 2: The Mystery of the Phantom Pooper - S6-E20
Continuity mistake: Liz is going to gives Virginia a book, but when she hands it to D'fwan in the next scene it's a plush giraffe. (00:10:40)

Suggested correction: Not a mistake, the joke is that the book is too loud for a TV show so they change it. You need to hear it in context.
Trivia: Jack (Alec Baldwin) is talking to Liz about how they sold his voice while he was in college. And he mentions that they used it for a Wu-Tang Clan video and Thomas the Tank Engine. Alec Baldwin played the narrator in the Thomas the Tank Engine feature film.
Trivia: When Jack is in the church confessional, he tells the priest that one of his sins was "I once said I was God in a deposition." This is a reference to Alec Baldwin's character in "Malice", where he did state he was a God during a deposition.
Trivia: When Cooter (Matthew Broderick) and Jack are looking through all the files to find a bad idea it's very reminiscent of Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane as Bialistock and Bloom looking for bad scripts in The Producers. Yet another musical theatre nod by a writer.
Tracy Jordan: I learned fried chicken at the school of hard knocks.
Question: Why does Liz put up with all the craziness? She couldn't quit and work on another show?
Question: I'm trying to find out what episode Liz makes reference to a lower back tribal tattoo with a Chinese symbol in it. I've looked everywhere.
Answer: Maybe s02e14, "Sandwich Day"? Liz is talking to Floyd and asking if the girl who answered his phone has a lower back tattoo with a Chinese character that is suppose to mean "peace", but probably means "I have chlamydia." But nothing about it being a tribal tattoo.
