Anyone watch 30 Rock last night?  Alec Baldwin was freaking hilarious as his past, future, and alternate universe selves.
And to top it off, Jacksonville, FL was used as a punchline for one of the jokes--sad but funny.

I watched last night caught the Jacksonville reference. It was indeed funny but sad. I wasn't like the comment was really that derogatory... just kind of made the idea of moving to Jax sound like a huge mistake in Liz's life.
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

Yeah, the reference to Jax wasn't too derogatory, just kind of a sad contrast to her current life in Manhattan.  If I had been drinking milk, I'm sure it would have squirted out of my nose at that line, it was so unexpected--I thought they would have gone with the old standard punchline/state New Jersey--not that there's anything really wrong with NJ, other than Snookie and her Jersey Shore flat mates giving us Garden Staters a worse rep than we already had!
