Philippine reference alert
In 30 Rock, network honcho Alec Baldwin tells jeans-clad comedy show producer Tina Fey to dress up for a business lunch with a comedian they want to recruit. Wardrobe finds her an outfit, then he tells her, “That’s the way you should dress, by the way.” “Yeah,” she snarls back, “If I was president of the Philippines!” Tina Fey is the long-time headwriter of Saturday Night Live, and is the writer and producer of both 30 Rock and the TV comedy it’s about.

Tina Fey is the thinking man’s babe. Her glasses make her uber-sexy–there’s a brain that comes with that pair of specs too. Even when SNL became unwatchable for me, I made a point to catch her Weekend Report with Amy Poehler.

Speaking of the President, she just made it in Forbes 100 most powerful women in the world.

Hey JZ,
There is in fact another Pinoy reference in 30 Rock a few episodes on. If I can just shamelessly post a little entry in my little blog for you or anyone else here who might want to know what it is and other what-nots about the show.

I love this show! I heard it has a Filipino staff writer.
Also, in a later episode, Alec Baldwin will introduce her to a guy who is married to a “nice Filipina lady.”

I think it’s “That’s how you should dress for work, by the way.” Not sure, tho.

There’s another Filipino reference in Will & Grace S8,Episode18.
CRICKET: So, why haven’t I seen this husband of yours?
KAREN: Oh. He’s on a business trip in the Phillipines. I like Filipinos. They’re Asian, but not cocky about it.
