was always delicious in the way it ridiculed NBC and its crazy corporate culture. And it may have also been the first to poke fun at one of the network's most important past stars.
In an episode titled 'The Bubble' from March 2009, Jack Donaghy ( Alec Baldwin) brings in a Bill Cosby impersonator to convince Tracy Jordan ( Tracy Morgan) via telephone to stay with TGS, the show within the show. Instead of reveling in the notion that his childhood idol was on the phone, Jordan lays into the man for his past behavior.
'Bill Cosby, you got a lotta nerve gettin' on the phone wit' me after what you did to my Aunt Paulette ... 1971. Cincinnati,' Morgan says. 'She was a cocktail waitress with the droopy eye!'
Take a look at the clip that was first flagged by Crushable:
Ironically, it was a former writer for 30 Rock who prompted all the Cosby accusers to resurface in the first place. Comedian Hannibal Buress, who wrote for the sitcom from 2010-2012, called Cosby a rapist while performing a standup routine in October. Buress was not on 30 Rock when 'The Bubble' aired, however.
Neither NBC nor 30 Rock star and executive producer Tina Fey were commenting Wednesday.
