Liz works with various personalities, including Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski), her best friend and star; executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin); page Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer); and Jordan (Tracy Morgan).

As Fey starts the call, Morgan responds, "T Fey, what's up?"

Fey – Hey, what are you doing on October 11th?
Morgan – October 11th. Hm, that's a Sunday, so I'll probably be at church…avenue in Brooklyn betting on lizard fights.
Fey – Could I convince you to do something with me that night?
Krakowski – "Fine. Oh, but if it's a play and I'm not in it, I'll poop in the aisle for attention.
Fey – That's great. That works, Jane. That's fine. Can you get yourself to New York?
McBrayer – Yes, ma'am. Is it to join a cult? Because I'm pretty satisfied with the one I'm already in.
Fey – No, it's more of a reunion thing. I don't want to tell you too much.
Baldwin – Well, tell me something, Elizabeth. I'm a busy man, and I'll need to get seven babysitters.
Fey – Okay, so you know how 30 Rock premiered on October 11th, 2006? Well, I have an idea…

The event will be a one-night-only, never-to-be-televised cast reunion, and surprises are coming to Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, October 11. Produced by Live Nation, the special evening will feature appearances by the main cast with the extended 30 Rock cast, plus more special guests. All net proceeds from this event will benefit The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem. Tickets will be available on Wednesday, August 26th, with presales and general onsale beginning on Thursday, August 27th at 10 a.m. ET at Ticketmaster.

"Listen up tens, a five is speaking! Please join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show Tom Shales once said 'needs a better premise and funnier dialogue… and most of all a more commanding performer in the starring role,'" Fey said. "We're honored to be named the charitable partner for this celebration," added Shaba R. Keys, President & CEO of The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem. "All net proceeds go directly toward the after-school, academic, and career programs that help more than 2,000 Harlem young people each year chart a path to their own futures—and we're grateful to be part of a night this special."
