The award-winning series has snagged not one, but two huge celebrities Jennifer Aniston and Oprah Winfrey – to guest star in its third season.
Aniston, or more commonly known as Rachel Green from Friends, sheds her ditzy blonde image and plays the free-spirited, Fatal Attraction-like stalker Claire Harper, Liz Lemon-s (Tina Fey) former room-mate in Chicago who is visiting New York and attaches herself to Alec Baldwin-s Jack Donaghy.
According to Baldwin, Aniston will play a serial seducer and “has a reputation of a man-eater” while talkshow queen Oprah will play herself in the new series.
Despite winning awards at the Golden Globes and Emmys, the much-lauded sitcom created by Fey, the former lead writer of “Saturday Night Live”, lacks an impressive showing in popularity and viewer ratings.
Aniston, Winfrey as well as Gossip Girls stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester who are also slated to appear in the comedy, may very well give the show a bump in ratings.
The third season of 30 Rock premieres in October in the United States.
