NBC MOVING 30 ROCK TO THURSDAY's COMEDY NIGHT

NBC will return the Emmy Award-nominated Scrubs and move freshman comedy 30 Rock to Thursday nights beginning November 30 to form a new two-hour 8-10 p.m. (ET) comedy block with My Name is Earl and The Office. The change will follow a special super-sized night of comedy two weeks earlier on Thursday, November 16, with three 40-minute episodes of My Name is Earl, The Office and 30 Rock.

The announcements were made by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment.

"We are excited about the prospect of two-hours of top-notch comedy on Thursday nights, which includes the return of Scrubs," said Reilly. "We will stay on-brand with the best comedy block on television, which will position us for the future on the night."

Beginning November 30, NBC's Thursday-night lineup will be My Name is Earl (8-8:30 p.m. ET); The Office (8:30-9 p.m. ET); Scrubs (9-9:30 p.m. ET); and "30 Rock" (9:30-10 p.m. ET). ER will continue at 10-11 p.m. (ET).

30 Rock is told through the comedic voice of Emmy winner Tina Fey as Liz Lemon and features Alec Baldwin as the brash new network executive who has turned her show upside down with his meddling ways. Single Lemon is living every comedy writer's dream - head writer on a demanding, live TV program in New York City. Her life is jolted when executive Donaghy (Baldwin) interferes with her show, and bullies Lemon into convincing Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan), a wild and unpredictable movie star, to join the cast. Tony winner Jane Krakowski also is featured as the star of "The Girlie Show." Also rounding out the cast in the half-hour comedy are Scott Adsit, Jack McBrayer and Rachel Dratch. **credit: tinafey.net
