I still laugh at his reply as to why he was wearing a tuxedo: "It's after 6:00, what do you think I am,
a farmer?"

I love this show.
Jack: I'm looking for D.I.H.C Avery, and I'm going to take it wherever I can find it.

Jack: Typical liberal media. That's why I get all my news from Dick Cheney's web site, DickViews.com.

My other favorite quotes, even though they're not from Jack:
Jenna: I need to see mine. If they used any of the footage from my shoplifting arrest, that would be great because my arms looked fantastic.
Jenna: Kim Jong Il? I've never heard of her.

I keep trying to give this show a chance, but its just awful. Somehow they managed to make a show worse than The Office.

get thee to a dr because your sense of humor is broken.

My favorite Jack-ism is from the Nov. 4 episode:
"Jonathan, ambition is the willingness to kill the thing that you love...and eat them in order to stay alive."

And then it says something like "Haven't you seen my throw pillow?" and it pans over and is the best.

I love Alec Baldwin soooo much that I would even consider dating Jack, even though I would not be able to stand him.

Liz: Why are you wearing a tux?
Jack: It's after six. What am I, a farmer?

My personal favorite. @adkinsey thank for reminding me.

Also a big fan of the episode where Lemon comes into his office as he is being helped into a tux and asks him why he is wearing it. His response is priceless: "It's 6:30, Lemon. I'm not a farmer."

A passion for life lessons..I am sure he has met all of the lessons...although I despise his political views you have to applaud his talent and determination and extremely good looksthe older he gets the better he looks!

He is the entire show for me. He mentors Liz because she has "just enough D.I.C.H. for me. I know how it sounds and I don't care."

I actually "Reaganed it" earlier in the week. And I would have had no idea of how awesome it is, if it wasn't for Jack Donaghy.
