'30 Rock' Season 6: Liz Lemon's New Boyfriend And Guest Stars Revealed

What kind of mischief will Liz Lemon find herself in during "30 Rock" Season 6? There's a new man, the return of Devon Banks, Kelsey Grammer as himself, Jack living his life as a single dad and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

"Liz is completely re-energized," series star and creator Tina Fey said in an exclusive new NBC promo. Liz has a hunky new boyfriend played by James Marsden, but he's not her usual type.

"She's trying to loosen up a little bit by dating somebody who is a little more laid-back," Marsden said. "That could either be good for her or ultimately bad for her."

New guest stars include Denise Richards playing a version herself -- the spokeswoman of the idiots of the world -- and "Flight of the Conchords" star Kristen Schaal.

"It wouldn't be '30 Rock' if we didn't have people doing things that they shouldn't be doing," Alec Baldwin said of his character's antics.

"30 Rock" Season 6 debuts Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC

I think somehow Avery fits into the real story of how L'il Kim died. He supposedly died of a heart attack while on a train. So what did Avery do to scare him?

Must See Tee Vee (streamed on Netflix, six months later, commercial free),

I hope they do something with Avery and Kim Jong Un now that Dear Leader is dead.

Welcome back, Tina and the gang. Kelsey Grammar will be interesting to watch.

"You have to live every day like it's Shark Week".

"That is an ironic re-appropriation. Kch. I don't know anymore. This started as a show for women, starring women. At the very least we should be elevating the way women are perceived in society. Augh my period! You're all fired!" [falls to the floor]

Based on everything I've been able to read about the Baldwin Bully, I'm afraid I will no longer watch this show. It is quite good humor, and Alec is a real funny guy--on camera. But off-camera there seems to be no doubt that he is exactly the type of person many civilized people despise...a bully with way too much money & power to use on defenseless airline employees (or his children). I realize I may be "cutting off my nose", but in a very small way, I stand up for my convictions--never, in any manner, support the neo-fascist bullies of society, no matter how sweet and innocent they can appear on a TV show!

Do you do a background check on all actors before watching their shows?

[Ian Bruce]

Yes he does. The only show he watches now is the test pattern that comes on after the station's sign-off... and he's beginning to have his suspicions about that indian...

Is homo-hater Tracey Morgan still on 30 Rock? Can't imagine keeping such a despicable person on a show like this - but, oh the humor! "In the first episode let's just make light of Tracey's speech about killing gay people!" That'd be fine as long as they also make light of people who want to kill black people. "How funny will it be when we brush off the death threats? VERY."

Whatever. This show is past its sell by date. It hasn't been anything at all since Fey got pregnant - all her comedy genes went from her brain to her womb. Knowing when to stop is a talent in itself.

For someone who is attempting to speak out against hatred, you sure seem comfortable slinging your own mud.

Oh my God, I've been so deprived. I rewatched all of the episodes on Netflix to fill the void. So excited! Bring back Matt Damon!

I'm a late arrival. Just started watching it on Commedy Channel a few weeks back. It's painfully hilarious. I am now addicted.

Just one question: Is that absurd and extremely unfunny Tracy Morgan still on the show? If so, I'll pass on it for yet another year.

[ElBruce]

A) He's hilarious.

B) You just tipped us off that you didn't watch the show in the first place, so it's not like they're losing you as a viewer.

Also, if you watched the embedded video that is the content of this article, you can see that he is on the show. Clearly you didn't.
