30 Rock: The Generalissimo

I have to say that I was not as enthralled last night with the Tina Fey/Jon Hamm pairing as I thought I would be - she was just a little too conniving for my tastes although maybe it will be better next week. I did love though the unexpected Generalissmo plot line - Alec Baldwin's Jack wants the approval of his new girlfriend's (Salma Hayek's) grandmother but since he is a dead ringer for the villain of her favorite telenovella, she despises him. He concocts to purchase the channel and write the character out of the show but the actor has other ideas. Watch below as Jack confronts the actor and definitely watch the full episode on Hulu to see how the actor makes the Generalissimo likeable to grandmothers (I would love to see pictures of your grandchildren - what sweet faces, etc.). It is certainly an Alec Baldwin classic.
