NBC executives told the Television Critics Association that "30 Rock" executive producers Tina Fey and Loren Michaels were approached about a live episode and were up for the challenge. Fey, the show's star and creator, is familiar with live TV from her "Saturday Night Live" days. Michaels created and produces the show.
NBC has aired other live episodes, but this will be the first for the Emmy-winning "30 Rock," which is produced in New York.
