Remember when Jimmy Kimmel asked viewers to whip out their cellphones to tweet “OMG Tracy Morgan just passed out onstage! Turn on ABC now!”
It looks like “30 Rock” was trying the same gag yesterday.
Kimmel’s idea was to give the ratings for the Emmys a little jolt — which kind of worked when 25,000 people, including Stephen Colbert and Joel McHale who were in the audience — tweeted the SOS.
Yesterday, in Midtown, Tina Fey and Morgan were filming a scene from the comedy’s final season.
In the scene, Morgan (who plays Tracy Jordan) is laid out after being hit by a taxi.
Relax, Jordan jumped up right away and kept talking to Liz Lemon (Fey).
