Today Entertainment Weekly broke the news that Matt Damon has been confirmed as an upcoming guest on the Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin staring sitcom 30 Rock, and it seems that it's a guest role that Entertainment Weekly actually helped make happen. Back in December at the Invictus premiere The Ausiello Files broke the news to Damon that he was at the top of Fey's list of wanted guest-stars. A shocked Damon responded with;
"I would do [30 Rock] in a heartbeat if they asked me to come on. I have not been approached about doing it. She should call my people — or even better me. Or I could call her. Let’s make this happen. Tina is a brilliant comedy writer. My wife and I download that show in bulk. That’s actually one of the downsides to working so much this year; I have fallen behind on this season. But we love that show, so if she has a part for me, I’m game.”
It seems that Tina's people were listening. The Ausiello Files confirmed today that Damon would guest star in an upcoming episode, probably closer to the end of the season. The details of his part are being kept under tight wraps, so it's anyone's guess what we're going to see. But when the details come in you can count on TVOvermind to deliver them to you!
