30 Rock is a comedic TV series from the United States that aired on NBC between October 11, 2006, and January 31, 2013. Created by Tina Fey, the show draws inspiration from her time as the head writer for Saturday Night Live. It is set in the backdrop of a fictional live sketch comedy show broadcast on NBC. The title “30 Rock” is a nod to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, the location of the GE Building where NBC Studios are housed.
