Last Thursday, little known writer Aaron Sorkin – you may have heard of him from The West Wing, The Social Network and Studio 60 – cameoed on something called 30 Rock, a somewhat similarly themed show about sketch comedy that debuted on NBC at the same time as Studio 60, resulting in just a tad of rivalry.
In case you missed it or have yet to see it and want to watch it now, here it’s the epic meeting between him and Tina Fey in a somewhat recognisable style.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
