Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer are reuniting for a one-night-only “30 Rock” 20th anniversary show at Radio City Music Hall on October 11, 2026, according to Variety’s reporting on the event. The benefit special will not be televised.

The show marks two decades since “30 Rock” premiered on NBC in 2006, kicking off a seven-season run built around Fey’s fictional sketch-show writers’ room.

Key Points

  • One-night-only reunion at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, October 11, 2026
  • Confirmed cast: Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer, with additional cast and special guests
  • Billed as a live benefit special that will not be broadcast or streamed
  • Net proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem
  • Marks 20 years since “30 Rock” premiered on NBC in 2006

Announcing the show, Fey leaned into the self-deprecating tone that defined “30 Rock” for its entire run, referencing a real, unflattering 2006 review from television critic Tom Shales in the event’s own promotional messaging: “Listen up tens, a five is speaking! Please join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show Tom Shales once said ‘needs a better premise and funnier dialogue.’”

“30 Rock” spent its seven seasons on NBC lampooning the network that aired it, following Fey’s Liz Lemon as head writer of a fictional “Saturday Night Live”-style show inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the real address of NBC’s New York headquarters. The series built a devoted following for its density of jokes per minute and a supporting cast that included Baldwin as network executive Jack Donaghy, Morgan as unpredictable star Tracy Jordan, Krakowski as diva actress Jenna Maroney and McBrayer as page Kenneth Parcell.

Despite modest live ratings throughout its run, the show became one of the most decorated comedies of its era, and its cast has stayed largely tied to Fey’s other projects and NBC’s broader comedy universe in the years since it ended in 2013.

The Radio City date brings the ensemble back together in the city where the show was set and filmed, at a venue built for spectacle rather than sitcom stagecraft. Structuring the event as a benefit rather than a straightforward reunion special also keeps it a genuinely live, one-time experience for ticket holders rather than content built for a streaming rerun, a distinction that fits a show whose fictional network executives spent seven seasons chasing exactly the kind of easy, repeatable content this event pointedly is not.
