Video: 30 Rock Gets Cartoonized

Cartoonized Alec Baldwin and Brian Williams

30 Rock will celebrate five seasons of Reaganing, Dealbreakers and Werewolf Bar Mitzvahs tonight with their double-sized 100th episode. Michael Keaton and Condoleezza Rice will guest star in the hour-long episode, which is all about TGS trying to avoid cancellation by putting on a spectacular 100th episode. NBC is also celebrating, with a planned trio of animated 30 Rock web adventures. Below, you can watch the first one, in which Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy uses his superpowers to mess with Brian Williams (who really should consider joining the cast fulltime next year):

Has there ever been a "double" episode of a sitcom that went over well?

"The Raincoats," from fifth season of Seinfeld, was a two-parter. "Maybe baldness will catch on; things will all turn your way!"

I think they're talking about when they stretch a 20-minute show into 44, not when they do a 2-parter. And it's never actually 44 minutes of programming, more like 30, but still with a 44-minute show's worth of commercials.

Scratch that, I kind of liked the Family Guy one.
