"Live from Studio 6H" is the nineteenth episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy series ''30 Rock'', and the 122nd episode overall. It features a return to live broadcasting from the season five episode "Live Show", both of which were directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller, and co-written by series creator Tina Fey. The episode originally aired live on the NBC television network in the United States on April 26, 2012, with separate tapings for the East Coast and West Coast audiences. "Live from Studio 6H" featured guest appearances by comedian Amy Poehler, musician Paul McCartney, and several actors associated with ''30 Rock'' and ''Saturday Night Live''. ''30 Rock'' follows the production of the fictional sketch comedy program ''The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan'' (''TGS''). In this episode, producer Jack Donaghy and head writer Liz Lemon decide to cease live broadcasts of ''TGS'' to save money. In order to save the magic of live television, NBC page Kenneth Parcell gives an impassioned history of live broadcasting to his co-workers in order to maintain the tradition for the show. The episode makes explicit references to classic television sitcoms and variety shows and draws humor from breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging that the actors are portraying fictional characters. It received generally positive reviews from critics. ==Plot== Jack (played by Alec Baldwin) announces to Liz Lemon (Fey) that the network is ceasing live broadcasts of ''TGS'' in order to save money. Janitor Kenneth Parcell is distressed by the decision and locks the show's staff into a room to convince them of the magic of live television by recounting memorable moments in NBC broadcast history. Meanwhile, ''TGS'' co-star Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) announces that she plans to upstage her fellow actors by announcing her engagement on air and NBC page Hazel Wassername (Kristen Schaal) decides that she will run onstage to get her big break in entertainment by proposing to Maroney herself. It turns out that Tracy Jordan's dance troupe appeared on a live television fundraiser in 1986 that sparked their love for television: Tracy tripped and fell, realizing that he could be comedic; Liz prank called the studio, igniting her love for fighting authority; and Jack answered her phone call—his professionalism impressed executive Don Geiss into giving him a promotion. The cast agree that they want to continue making live television and in the middle of a skit, Jenna's boyfriend Paul Lastname (Will Forte) proposes, but Jenna declines because she wants to marry for love rather than a ratings stunt. Hazel interrupts their moment by ripping apart a picture of Sinéad O'Connor. The separate broadcasts have minor differences between them.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Live from Studio 6H」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
