Jerry Seinfeld to Guest Star on Season Two Premiere of "30 Rock"

Jerry Seinfeld on 30 Rock?

Yes, you read that correctly. Jerry Seinfeld is heading back to television and I don't mean in those adorable and whimsical little Bee Movie mini-sodes that the comedian was touting at the network upfronts back in May.

NBC has confirmed that Seinfeld will guest star on the second season premiere of 30 Rock (scheduled for October 4th at 8:30 pm), where he will play himself. He joins an already impressive list of guest stars for a comedy coming out of its first season, including Paul Reubens, Jason Sudeikis, Ghostface Killah, Elaine Stritch, Sean Hayes, Nathan Lane, Molly Shannon, Will Arnett, Chris Parnell, and Will Forte.

"I was thrilled to be asked to guest star on NBC's hit comedy 30 Rock," said Seinfeld in a press release issued by NBC. "I think it's going to be so refreshing for me to be playing myself in a show that has nothing to do with neurotic, dysfunctional New York characters."

How pleased is 30 Rock's harried star/creator/executive producer, Tina Fey?

"We're very excited to have Jerry on 30 Rock," added Fey. "Finally, my parents have an excuse to watch the show."

Given how hysterical 30 Rock is, even sans Seinfeld, each week, I think it's high time you got your 'rents to start tuning in now, Tina. As for me, I already couldn't wait for the return of 30 Rock this fall, but this news is just the cherry on top.
