"Holy moly. I&amp;#x27;m a dork for few things (like a hundred at most), but early drafts of TV hits are one of &amp;#x27;em. And this original 30 Rock pilot sampler unearthed by Buzzfeed really blew my mind&amp;amp;#8212;the Liz Lemon institution we know and love could&amp;#x27;ve been a totally different show. How? I&amp;#x27;ll tell you how, now that I&amp;#x27;ve taken the liberty of watching this video three times at very close range. It&amp;#x27;s common knowledge at this point that Rachel Dratch started out as Jenna (before Jane Krakowski took over), but knowing it and seeing it are two different things. P.S. Jenna&amp;#x27;s name was Jenna DeCarlo originally. Interesting. In fact, the character of Jenna seems less heightened in general. She&amp;#x27;s not as nuts, so when she and Liz gossip at work there&amp;#x27;s more of a GIRLS-style vibe, actually, than a low-key v. high-strung back and forth. Twofer sure had a big role&amp;amp;#8212;he&amp;#x27;s ordering everyone around. Also, check out original Cerie. Something&amp;#x27;s just doesn&amp;#x27;t feel right without Katrina Bowden around. And last but not least, it was Rachel&amp;amp;#8212;not Tracy Morgan, who eventually did it in the pilot&amp;amp;#8212;running through traffic at the end, screaming, &amp;quot;I am a Jedi!&amp;quot; Whaddaya think? Could this 30 Rock have gone a cool direction, or does it just weird you out? Photo: Buzzfeed"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
