Tracy Morgan's character may be loosely based on Martin Lawrence and Garrett Morris. However, in an interview in Playboy in November 2009, Morgan downplayed Lawrence's influence, and it was suggested Tracy Jordan is based on Morgan himself. When asked if he resented being made fun of on the show, Morgan simply replied that he is fiercely loyal to Tina Fey.

Jack is loosely based on Lorne Michaels.

Josh is loosely based on Jimmy Fallon.

Liz Lemon is based on the actress who plays her, Tina Fey.

30 Rock is 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the address of the building where the show is set.

That's the original title of the show. In the pilot episode, Tracy Jordan is added to the cast of The Girlie Show and displaces Jenna as the star. In the next episode, Jack Donaghy changes the show title to TGS with Tracy Jordan, but some posters reading "The Girlie Show" were obviously left on the walls.

No, because none have ever been made. A May 2006 press release mentioned that sketches from The Girlie Show would be made available in their entirety on NBC's broadband website, DotComedy.com, but this idea was eventually dropped. Parts of sketches sometimes appear in episodes, including several in episode 3.17, "Cutbacks".
