Alec Baldwin is the funniest man in the world

(except for Gilbert Gottfried ... but I digress). It makes "30 Rock" a must-see show (hey, on "Must-See TV," or what's left of it, anyway) for as long as it lasts. The writing is just so snarky, inside and plain funny. When Baldwin's GE exec character Jack Donaghy starts coming to the "Girly Show" writers' room so he can learn about how the show runs for his Six Sigma management routine (and I do believe that whole load of biz BS started at GE, making it even more funny, dangerous and ironic that an NBC show is spoofing it on a minute-by-minute basis), he says something like this:

Jack: "I've been doing some research on comedy, and I found this comic strip called 'Dilbert.' We should do that."

And when they're throwing out suggestions for funny kid-breakfast foods, and the goofy writer guy suggests "Fart Nuggets," causing Baldwin to crack up, he proclaims, again with a straight face:

"Fart Nuggets got the biggest laugh -- I think we should go with that."

Now I can't get past laughing my own personal ass off over the words "fart nuggets," but Baldwin's reaction is sweet, sweet icing on the comedic cake.

Aside from Morgan asking the kid to a) get him "nachos ... from Yankee Stadium," and b) fetch a black-market tropical fish from Chinatown (on an NBC bicycle, no less), Morgan gives the youngster poignant relationship advice:kenneth.jpg

Tracy: Now what did I tell you were the secrets to a good relationship?
Kenneth: Be a good listener, be a giver of gifts ... and work that va-jay-jay.

First of all, they said, "va-jay-jay" on network television. (Classic Tina Fey.) I guess that's allowed. Hence my repetition of it here.
