Ah, yes! The moment we’ve all been waiting for! The trailer for the new Tina Fey / Steve Carrell movie is up on the Internets!

Check out Date Night, starring 30 Rock’s Liz Lemon and The Office’s Michael Scott:

Whoa!  Mark Wahlberg cameo!  Say hello to your mother for me.

So what’d you think?  Way more actiony and adventurey than I was expecting from those two, but looks fun nonetheless.   I’m really into that mouthguard scene at the beginning, btw.  Hopefully there’s more like that.

Doesn’t come out til April 9th!  Sheeshkabobs.

You know how they say Germans have no sense of humor?  NEWSFLASH: It’s true. 30 Rock debuted in Germany this week and scored a 0.0 in ratings, which means less than 5,000 people tuned in to watch.  Nicht gut!

To Germany’s credit, I have no idea how a show like 30 Rock could possibly translate into another language/culture.  So many American pop culture references and English language wordplay!  Sorry, Fey, It just don’t work.

Okay, now watch this video of hilarious 30 Rock bloopers and pipe down.  You’re giving me a headache over here.

THIS JUST IN!

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will be co-hosting the Oscars this year! Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will be co-hosting the Oscars this year! Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will be co-hosting the Oscars this year!

TWO WILD AND CRAZY GUYS!!!  The two 30 Rock alums (okay, and other stuff, too) will be serving as a hosting team for the 82nd Academy Awards in early 2010.  Here’s what the pair had to say about this great honor:

“I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin,” said Martin.

“I don’t play the banjo but I’m thrilled to be hosting the Oscars – it’s the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Baldwin.

OMG I’M IN STITCHES ALREADY!

The people have spoken!  Votes for the first official Square Eyes poll have been tallied and we have a winner!

Q: Which 30 Rock guest star should return this season?

A: Jon Hamm!

He looks like a cartoon pilot!  The Hamm-ster played Liz Lemon neighbor and love interest Dr. Drew Baird in three episodes in Season 3, whose mail led Liz to believe he was the perfect man.  She later breaks off the relaysh due to his living in a bubble (a hot-person-who-always-gets-what-he-wants bubble, that is).  The role earned Hamm an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.

Thanks to everyone who voted!

Finally, the evening we’ve all been waiting for! 30 Rock returns tonight with the premiere of its 4th season!  It’s the television event of the century (probably, right?)!  And what better way to get in the 30 Rock spirit than with a Square Eyes poll?

Which 30 Rock guest star should return this season?

a) Salma Hayek (Elisa in “Senor Macho Solo”, “Flu-Shot”, “Generalissimo”, “Larry King”)
b) Jon Hamm (Dr. Drew Baird in”Generalissimo”, “St. Valentine’s Day”, “The Bubble”)
c) Steve Martin (Gavin Volure in “Gavin Volure”)
d) Jennifer Aniston (Claire Harper in “The One with the Cast of Night Court”)

Send your votes to squareeyes@blinkx.com.

We’ll post results Monday!  Stay tuned!

It looks like twacy.org’s campaign was a success!  30 Rock’s Tracy Morgan is now officially on Twitter!

You can follow him @RealTracyMorgan.

A sample of his work?  Okay, sure:

The wait is over! The black Svengali has arrived! I’m on the street turning good girls bad and getting them pregnant!!!

More to come, I’m sure.

Yay! Finally, a 30 Rock teaser! Somethin’ to nibble on! A li’l 30 Rock chew to bite into! A sneak peek to poke at!

Okay, here:

Wow! Sometimes I get really confused watching Jane Krakowski being Jane Krakowski. She’s better as Jenna Maloney.

Otherwise! Looks pretty funny already (as is to be expected)! 30 Rock’s fourth season premieres a week from Thursday - October 15th. Longest hiatus ever.

ZOMG!  This week just keeps getting better and better…

Living legend, national treasure, and Square Eyes favorite Betty White, formerly of The Golden Girls, has signed on for a guest spot on other Square Eyes favorite, 30 Rock!

Ms.White will reportedly be playing herself on the award-winning NBC comedy series.

And this is all from the mouth of Tina Fey herself!

Fey reportedly also wants to get Justin Timberlake in for a guest role.  But enough about him!  Back to Betty!

Does anyone else smell Emmy for Betty White for her future role on 30 Rock? She’s been hitting the guest spot circuit pretty hard lately, even earning an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” for My Name is Earl this year. Betty on 30 Rock will surely be nothing short of unbeatable.

Betty White FTW!  Get excited, people!

Well, shucks.  You can thank our buddy Allan at Mission Mission for the tip on this one.

Check it: visionary XXX company New Sensations has slapped together a porn based on Square Eyes fave 30 Rock. Yes, Square Eyes fave 30 Rock!

You really have to see this trailer. Someone over at New Sensations is like two secs away from landing a job as head writer (lates, Tina!), cuz this dialogue is pretty spot on, particularly Tracy Jordan’s (here: Trey Jordan).

This is clip is pretty SFW, depending on how chill your W is, of course.  Plug in your headphones, dummy, just to be S!

The video starts with a mediocre Cribs parody - skip to 2:10 for the 30 Rock:

Beep beep bop bop I’m a black robot, MFer?  Yup.

New Sensations is the same company that came up with that Seinfeld porn parody we wrote about a few months back.  They’ve apparently also made a Scrubs parody, as well as one for The Office.

Who are these perv clowns?  Former NBC creatives, spurned and short on funds?  Aspiring sitcom writers, desperate to get their feet in the door?  Or just like, funny porn-makers?  Yeah, probably that last one.

Well done, New Sensations!  Now where’s sexy Frasier?

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from our friends at 30 Rock.  Oh, the woes of the summertime TV show hiatus!

Aw, shucks.  Well, just to keep your heads spinning, let me call your attention to a blog post from writer Bryan Lynch, who makes a bold comparison between 30 Rock and The Muppet Show, even going so far as claiming ole 30 is a rip off of the Jim Henson TV classic!

Read through his thesis and let me know what you think.  I heartily chuckled at the Jenna Maroney / Miss Piggy comparison and enjoyed the Tracy Jordan / Gonzo analysis, but pretty much anything past the Jack Donaghy collection seemed to me to be based solely on appearance.  Which was still funny, but… yeah, it’s clearly not a perfect comparison.

Either way, it makes for an interesting read; I love me a good conspiracy theory.

And while we’re on the topic of show parallels, am I the only one who thought Family Matters was a human version of Dinosaurs?  Sorry, dudes, I was like eight.
