How do you do, fellow holiday special enthusiasts? The Advent Calendar House has emerged from its slumber in the Mariana Trench a few months early for an important visit to the 30 Rock universe and its celebration of Leap Day. As such, nothing that happens in this episode counts, and we’re just your imaginary friends whom no one else can hear.  ****  ? Guest:  Joey O. (Y-Not Radio, Words with Nerds, @ImGonnaDJ24).  ****  ? Topics & Tangents:  1. Steve Buscemi, whose name I mispronounce right out of the gate, quotes himself at the 2020 Screen Actors’ Guild Awards.  2. Steve Buscemi as The Madder Hatter on Saturday Night Live in 1998.  3. Film School Rejects’ ranking of every 30 Rock episode.  4. Jane Krakowski as the Ghost of Christmas Past to Kelsey Grammer’s Scrooge in the 2004 adaptation of A Christmas Carol: The Musical.  5. I get excited that Zack Ward from A Christmas Story followed @adventcalhouse on Twitter.  6. James Cameron is one of a very, very small group of people who have reached the deepest point in the ocean, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.  7. A very unscientific look into how many times it would take to order everything on the Benihana menu to use an entire $50,000 gift card.  8. Of course there’s a Getty Image of Tina Fey posing with the Ewok behind glass.  9. Thad Warmald, the poor man’s Artie Ziff.  10. Both human leads from the Sonic the Hedgehog movie are in this episode.  11. Kevin Brown’s Wikipedia entry calls him “Kevin ‘Dot Com’ Brown” right at the beginning.  12. Guest star Karolína Kurková was almost a Leap Day baby; she was born February 28, 1984.  13. Tracy’s word association game that gets to “soup kitcken,” but keeps going before looping back around again reminds us of a similar bit from the 1966 Batman movie.  14. A very, very quick look at the Irish Leap Day tradition of women proposing to men, as seen in the 2010 Amy Adams movie Leap Year, which couldn’t even be bothered coming out on a leap year.  15. As an extra bonus mini-episode at the end of this one, Joey quickly sums up the Leap Day episode of Frasier from 1996, Look Before You Leap.  ****  “30 Rock” ©2006 and “Leap Day” ©2012 NBCUniversal Media, LLC.  Full show notes with links at adventcalendar.house.  Say hi on Twitter @adventcalhouse.
