30 Rock 'Kidney Now' w/ Elvis Costello, Beastie Boys, Moby, Talib Kweli, Norah Jones, Steve Earle, Rhett Miller (video)
After meeting his biological father for the first time, GE powerhouse Jack Donaghy discovered his dad, professor Milton Greene, needed a kidney. Not being a potential organ donor himself, Mr. Donaghy turned to some very affluent friends in the entertainment world. This partnership created the phenomenon, "Kidney Now!' -- a benefit concert featuring some of the most recognizable names in the music industry. With the help of this song, Milton Green just might find the kidney match he needs and Jack Donaghy may be granted the gift of a father he never knew.Video from last night's episode of 30 Rock below...

I thought it was hilarous as 30 Rock always is.

Elvis is hilarious. Clearly making fun of his own voice there, which is adorable.

What happened to Adam Yauch?
Also, I thought this was one of the best 30 Rock episodes of the season. I was laughing so much it hurt (but I had surgery recently, so the threshold was lower)

Who is the woman singing with Sara Bareilles?
Posted by anon 2 | May 15, 2009 11:35 PM
^^Norah Jones. Who's the blonde standing next to Moby and then, at the end, hugging Mary J. Blige? Jane Krakowski?

uh, yeah, where was MCA? or did they just give him a potion that turned him into Talib Kweli?
This was funny. The Elvis Costello as an international art thief bit was hilarious. I also liked that they wrote the Beastie Boys to act like they're still 19-year-old pranksters. Those guys are fuckin amazing.
