Glam had the privilege of chatting with the cast of the Emmy-award winning sitcom 30 Rock. We asked them to tell us what they loved most about working on the acclaimed series. Here’s what they told Glam exclusively…

Well this is a wonderful group of people. Our whole cast and our whole crew. Everyone gets along beautifully. A lot of these people are old friends of mine. Jack McBrayer – I’ve known for a long time. It’s a privilege to go to work – back when we were going to work. [Being the boss] has been okay. It’s been fine. There hasn’t been any nasty, dirty work to be done. – Tina Fey
To have won the Emmy on our first year, that was such a big deal!… And because we’re on strike right now, we haven’t seen each other, so it’s so fun to see our group again. We saw each other about two weeks ago when we did a live version of the show. That was an amazing night! We’ve started emailing each other quite a bit. And a lot of the time we go to Jack [McBrayer’s] house on Thursday nights to watch the new episodes… I love [my character.] She so outrageous and ridiculous and if everyone is doing something, she’s going to do it so much further and bigger than everyone else. And Tina Fey and the writers come up with such hilarious stuff. I never imagined a lot of the stuff I’ve gotten to do on TV. I’m always surprised when I see what they’re asking me to do. I love it! – Jane Krakowski
It’s fantastic. I’m blessed everyday I go to work. There’s so much energy, and they’re so funny and everyone is so down to earth and easy to talk to. And it’s just amazing. It’s so much fun. I can’t even begin to explain. Most of the time we’re all just joking around. There’s a story I always tell about the Golden Girls. It was last season, at Kenneth’s apt. and Jack [McBrayer] is taking us around the apartment showing us actual pictures of his actual childhood that he had to bring in. And I pick up a picture of two old ladies, and I say “Oh are these your aunts or something?” And he goes “No, those are the Golden Girls.” And I had no idea who they were. We’re always just joking around with each other. – Katrina Bowden
The scripts have been so fantastic. And just the way the show has really come together – being able to perform that material is a huge honor, and we’re just really thrilled to be a part of it… I’m just reading their words. I love the different situations they put me in, and also the different dynamics that they’ve set up between me and the other characters. You know the other person is always going to win… Alec [Baldwin] is fantastic. He is such a professional. He is so skilled and so talented. I learn a lot just by sitting in scenes with him and watching the way he works. He’s a total pro, and hopefully he’ll stick around for a long, long while. – Jack McBrayer
I don’t know. Everybody is so extremely funny, and they come from an improvisation background. And I come from a Shakespeare background. And so I kind of am the guy who’s sitting there trying to be funny. It’s not always successful… To be honest with you though, it’s almost exactly the same [as Shakespeare] in terms of finding the rhythm of things. It’s strikingly similar. - Keith Powell
The best part? It’s the people on the show: the crew, the writers… Really nice people… But it’s a collaborative effort, and there’s no attitude on set. Everyone’s cool. Tina’s the best boss I’ve ever had. She’s very approachable. You can always come to her with ideas. And working with Baldwin is great! I’m a huge fan. He’s a great guy. I love hangin’ out with him. It’s fun hangin’ out and crackin’ people up. Everyone’s got a good sense of humor. – Judah Friedlander
[I love] getting to work with my friends from Chicago like Tina Fey and Jack McBrayer. It’s kind of like a little family reunion… Alec is great and he always has a story or an imitation. He’s always willing to contribute to make something funnier. He’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever seen in my life. – Scott Adsit
The best part is that everyone is a clown. Everyone’s really out there and the sense of humor is really skewed. Everyone brings their own personality to their role. On and off camera, everyone is great fun to work with… The cast is super down to earth. I guess maybe having watched SNL for years, [it’s amazing] that all of a sudden I’m working with Tina Fey. Her husband is super cool and her daughter, Alice, come to the set. Everyone is really close. One of the most surreal things to me is being a part of Tina Fey’s personal life. I never thought I’d see that happen. – Lonny Ross
