Our very own Gail King is going to be on NBC’s hit sitcom 30 Rock! Hear her story and get inspired to find success like Gail: “A number of months ago I sent in my resume for 30 Rock and was told that they were breaking for summer vacation. I figured that would be the end of that…but yesterday evening I received a call from a casting agent who asked me to be an extra as an upscale patron in an elegant restaurant and also in a scene in Rockefeller Plaza.

To the many of you who ask if you can really win parts on these castings, the answer is a YES. Sometimes it takes a few months. Sometimes you have to go the extra step and apply for whatever you think you would be cast in even if you are not sure you meet all the criteria. It really does feel good to get that email or phone call asking if you would like to be on a show. So, don’t give up or get discouraged. Gail King.”

Thanks for the inspirational words Gail and CONGRATS! You deserve all the best and we can’t wait to watch you!

Beer? Hot wings? The actual game? Come on, everyone knows that the best parts of the Superbowl are the commercials!

Or are they? This year’s Superbowl commercials may have ranged from clever to crude, but they definitely favored the crude. Where have the truly creative Superbowl commercials gone? Think Apple’s iconic “1984″ commercial, which inspired a million knock-offs.

However, I do love Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock, so it was awesome to him showing off his flair for comedy in this ad for Hulu:
