Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, nope, that's too many "wells", we're going to start over! It's mere hours before the 2012 election at 30 Rock, and we cannot wait any longer to see who Jenna Maroney will endorse. As Jack Liz prepare to debate for Jenna why their candidates have her best interests at heart, they both may learn from each other in the end; although not very much. Meanwhile, Kenneth is finally able to vote for the very first time, and his absentee ballot has him learning all about the pros and cons all political choices can have, Will the TGS team be able to save save/demolish his town's clocktower? Finally, 4 years ago, Pete had an extraordinary moment with a 30 Rock security guard, all because of Obama's election as president, and is eager to reignite that same hope and moment, but fate may not sine on Pete Hornberger on this day... Who won the 2012 election, was Jenna Maroney the decider in the end, can Pete catch a break? Find out, on this week's Go To There.

Comedian and actor Scott Adsit has been on everything from Friends to The Office , but you may know him best as Pete Hornberger from the sitcom 30 Rock . Or perhaps as the voice of Baymax from Big Hero 6 . This weekend, he's in Georgia. Adsit is doing a two-night, four-show run at Dad's Garage in Atlanta. First, he stopped by On Second Thought to share stories about how improv influenced his acting career, why he never really got into stand-up comedy, and his connection to the Marvel Universe.

Join Lily and Scott as they review "Black Tie", a hilarious episode from the Emmy winning first season of one of television's greatest comedies: 30 Rock! Listen as they chart the origins of the series, from Saturday Night Live head writer Tina Fey's proposed sitcom about a cable news network to almost getting shelved by a pair of NBC executives. They'll also discuss the uproarious yet tragic character of Prince Gerhard, a sickly European noble (played by Paul Rubens) who falls in love with his birthday party crasher Jenna, the volatile ex-wife of Jack (played by Isabella Rossallini), and how Kenneth and Tracy play the metaphorical angel and devil on Pete Hornberger's tired shoulders. From the star-studded cast of Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, and Jack McBrayer, to the great tone set by great music and the bustling New York City setting, it's no wonder why it's considered one of the all-time greats. So celebrate your body and your mind, have a glass of champagne (if you can safely metabolize grapes) and enjoy the show! Please email us at hittingplayshow@gmail.com Hitting Play on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/HittingPlay Scott's Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/MCandFriends Scott's Vine: http://www.vine.co/MCandFriends Lily's Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Lilipution22 Lily's YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/lilipution22 Shawn's Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ShawnWenzel78

My guest this episode is none other than 30 Rock’s, Scott Adsit! Many know him as Pete Hornberger, but he’s done lots of other things including Moral Orel on cartoon network, Mr. Show and tons of bit parts and guest spots. He was in town for Duofest at Philly Improv Read more…

Rich is a bit groggy after pretending to be Paul Weller at Karaoke Circus last night, but he's excited about having seen Pete Hornberger from 30 Rock in the street, even though he has a real life movie star as his guest today. Omid Djalili has stories of experimental theatre in the Czech Republic, possibly killing Oliver Reed and maybe breaking up Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Rich looks back to a pivotal career moment in the Fringe of 2007, whilst Omid recounts the antics of towel thief Andre Vincent and the comedy awards announcement is made during the show, so there's time to chat about Richard's repeated failure to be nominated for anything. With stand-up from the wonderful Jen Brister and the last chance to win a wine voucher from www.nakedwines.com
