[[WMG:The show will end with...]]
Here are some possibilities. Feel free to add more.
* Jack's "tanking" of NBC works too well and the entire network is shut down forever. Then Seinfeld turns 30 Rock into a Lane Bryant after all.
* The series turns out to be AllJustADream. Liz wakes up to find herself still in HighSchool. Turns out Mitch was right all along about it still being 1985!
* Gretchen Thomas comes back and has a kid now. Liz can't help herself and moves in with her. As Liz resignedly lets Gretchen do sex stuff to her, she's hit with the crushing revelation that this was the only relationship she could ever make work. A SingleTear rolls down her cheek and then [[DownerEnding the show ends with Liz stuck in a loveless lesbian relationship]].
* [[Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow Everyone except Tracy gets fired.]]
* Kenneth takes over NBC, as Jack predicted in "Blind Date".
* Hazel is brutally killed. Or at least we can hope.
* Jack's "tanking" backfires and NBC becomes a huge success. Hank Hooper offers to promote Jack, but only on the condition that he cancel ''TGS'' as it's the only show which lost money.
* Kenneth finally snaps and brutally murders everyone. The last shot of the show is Kenneth smiling cheerfully and waving as he stands in the middle of the bloody corpses.
* Frank finds the box of hot dogs which Liz bought in the pilot and starts eating them. Liz yells at him that they're seven years old, Frank looks up, says "oh", and then goes back to eating them.
* [[{{Series/Mash}} Liz flies away from 30 Rock in a helicopter and looks back to see that the windows spell out "GOODBYE".]]
* Liz gets Jack's job and the show ends with Liz becoming a mentor to the head writer of a new show which has replaced ''TGS''.
* Liz's baby is a boy and she names him after Jack. That's right, his name will be [[NamesTheSame Jack Lemon]].
* Jack's "tanking" plan works out exactly like he predicted with no surprises.
* Jack and Liz get married. (Yeah, you wish, shippers!)

Remember that Liz's mom worked for Sterling Cooper in the 60s, so we know MadMen and 30 Rock share a common universe. And we know from St. Valentine's Day that Drew's mother had him out of wedlock in her teens or early 20s. And he was probably born sometime in the 60s, and he looks just like Don Draper. It all adds up to Drew Baird being Don Draper's bastard son.
[[WMG: Past Pete really WAS coming to kill future Pete.]]
Tracy found out about while running through the studio, but nobody believed him because of his craziness. Fortunately, Past Pete failed and went back to the past. That's why Pete never wore the wig again. ''He never had one.''
[[WMG:The show is ''real''--'''we''' are the Good End AlternateUniverse!]]
Think about it! Liz wants to have a good boyfriend and possibly get married and have kids! Tina Fey is really able to become an accomplished writer who has also acted in various films and shows unlike her real-life counterpart. Tracy and Tracy both come from slightly sad backgrounds, but then again, both made it on top--Morgan did do some serious films, though. Jenna's actually trying to deny the fact that she's getting old, but now, Jane's become a dignified model and actress at 37! But Kenneth might be a transdimensional constant.
[[WMG:Jack is right about Kenneth.]]
Kenneth is Main/ObfuscatingStupidity in an attempt to take over the whole company, possibly the world. Everything he's done on the show is all part of a complex master plan.
* His page job at the Olympics was a major step. By now, he rules half of China.
** Alternatively, when the NBC/[[strike:Comcast]] Kabletown deal goes through it'll be discovered that between the NBC stock in his 401(k), some shares in one of Kabletown's predecessor companies that his grandfather invested in in TheFifties when one-man cable operations in rural areas were common and an interest in Sheinhardt we didn't know about, Kenneth has a controlling interest in the new company.
*** His grandfather...[[OlderThanTheyLook right.]]
** Interestingly, in season 1 Jack theorized that Kenneth would end up running the company in 5 years. It's now season 5, and now that Kabletown owns NBC, it's being run by a guy who Jack explicitly compares to Kenneth in terms out outlook and personality.
[[WMG:Liz has Asperger's syndrome.]]
She's a geek, and Jack says that she's "socially retarded", which seems to be true. That defines Asperger syndrome right there, doesn't it?
* No, it doesn't. She doesn't seem to have many other symptoms.
** Agreed. You clearly haven't met anyone with a serious case of Aspergers. Most real people with serious cases of Asperger syndrome are more like ''Kenneth'' than Liz. That is, assuming the [[ObfuscatingStupidity above theory]] about him isn't true.
** Liz is way too social to have Aspergers. Liz was a part of [[TheWindyCity Second City]] back in the day. A person with Aspergers would not be able to go and perform in front of a bunch of people like that.
*** To be fair, DanAykroyd has Aspergers, and ''he'' was in Second City. But I agree, Liz shows no real sign of having it.
** This Asperger's troper goes to a drama class and has no problem performing on stage, but other than that I agree Liz dosen't really seem to be Aspergers.
*** Also, one of the symptoms many people on the Autistic spectrum have is the inability to deal with noise. Liz seems to have the normal reaction when dealing with noise.
* Asperger Syndrome is part of the Autistic spectrum. Liz may have some autistic atributes but probably not enough to be offically diagnosed.
[[WMG: Liz is the classic geeky-social-misfit-turned-comedian.]]
She started making people laugh ''with'' her not ''at'' her, probably as a child. She got good enough at it to do it professionally in a "glamorous" network TV setting. And then the [[ModernMajorGeneral Peter Principle]] kicked in, and she wound up in a position that's [[LizLemonJob as much Human Resources as it is comedy writing]].
[[WMG: Liz is the grown-up version of [[ICarly Carly]].]]
This ''does'' run into serious continuity issues - ''30 Rock'' doesn't seem to be Twenty Minutes (or years) into the Future, and ''iCarly'' by definition ''can't'' be set in TheEighties... so there is a TimeParadox in there somewhere.
* There is a very plausible WMG that Carly is a Haruhi, so that might provide an alternative explanation.
[[WMG:Kenneth is immortal.]]
As mentioned elsewhere, he has apparently owned a pet bird for over 60 years.
* In another episode we flashback to people dancing "The Microwave" in TheFifties -- Kenneth is one of the dancers.
* There was also a deleted scene from "Mamma Mia" in which a WorldWarTwo veteran recognizes him as one of his war buddies.
** And when he has to replace Donaghy's pants: "You know that woman in accounting who thinks you're her dead husband from the war?"
* When he started working at NBC, ShirleyTemple was eight - that's 1936/37.
* But, most chillingly, someone asks him if he wants to be a page forever, and he mishears and replies (in a very disturbing tone for him) "Who says I have been alive forever?". Either he simply looks ''very'' good for his age, or our favorite NBC page is some sort of HumanoidAbomination.
* In the closing tag of ''100'' Kenneth's hand pops out of his grave, giving a thumbs up. It also reveals his birth year as 1781.
* See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLStS6bSWeg
[[WMG:Kenneth is the {{Wandering Jew}}.]]
His devout Christianity is due to actually witnessing the life of Jesus millennia ago.
[[WMG:Kenneth is the Spirit of America.]]
We know that Kenneth has lived through all of the 20th Century at least, as noted above. His life has followed the trajectory of American culture: born in the backwoods, raised by a small, (putatively) nuclear family, educated at Bible College... then was seen in the swing dance halls of the '20s, served with the Greatest Generation in World War II, and finally moved to the Big City and joined the world of television, where America's heart now lies. His crazy can-do optimism and ability to do absolutely anything despite appearing utterly incompetent, only serve to underscore his quintessential Americanosity against the backdrop of a modern business and cultural environment that sometimes forgets the values upon which this great nation was founded.
[[WMG:Kenneth is related to ForrestGump.]]
The more you think about it, the more it makes sense.
[[WMG:Kenneth is related to Jennifer Rogers.]]
She touched his face and was instantly repulsed after touching her own for reference. It wouldn't be the first time the cousin card was played on the show.

He had the same bird for sixty years. But he looks young.
* Naturally, his bird is also a Highland Immortal.
** No, some birds just live that long. Macaws live well over 90 years in captivity, for example. And didn't it die of pesticide poisoning?
* And the whole 'innocent farmboy' thing is just an act so he can get the jump on other immortals.

So, if anyone still cares about NBC, then they ought to watch this show.
[[WMG: Kenneth drank from the {{Fountain of Youth}} in PiratesOfTheCaribbean.]]
See, about sixty years ago, Jack Sparrow had another curse on him that made him avoid the sea. He was exploring the Appalachians when he fell, [[EasyAmnesia hit his head]], and was adopted by a nice family that washed his hair for the first time in his life (turns out he's blonde) and gave him a pet bird. If they had tried to teach him that rum was the devil's drink rather than coffee the devil's temperature, then he'd have been out of there like a shot.
[[WMG:30 Rock isn't a parody -- it's Tina Fey's and Tracy Morgan's anecdotes about their time at SNL with people's names changed to protect the innocent.]]
Yes, that means there really is an immortal NBC page out there.
[[WMG:Tracy Jordan isn't crazy; he just acts that way to get attention.]]
It's confirmed that some of Tracy's weirdness is an image:
--> "If I'm normal, I'm boring. If I'm boring I'm poor and poor people can't afford to pay back the $75,000 in cash they owe Quincy Jones!"
[[WMG:Tina Fey and Liz Lemon and Kenneth are Tropers.]]
It would be very surprising if they weren't.
[[WMG:There is going to be a Liz Lemon/Jenna Maroney plotline any day now.]]
Recall "Season 4" (the episode), where Jenna remarks that her options are to become a country music star or enter a lesbian relationship. She seems to be dropping the country act lately, and during "Into the Crevasse" she was very interested in the Liz/Jenna porno going on...
* Confirmed in the same season's finale.

We, after all, don't know anything about Kenneth's mother. As long as she's a pretty, dark-haired woman named "Tammy", it fits. She doesn't even have to be the Tammy played by Megan Mullally.
[[WMG:Kenneth is the human embodiment of the human conscience.]]
Liz, Jack, Tracy, and Jenna are all selfish people in their own way and Kenneth's goal is to set them in the write direction. Kenneth can never affect the outcome events but can influence others.
* Liz can tend to be arrogant and elitist. She also occasionally becomes very whiny about her problems. Kenneth is there to remind her that there are people who have it a lot worse off than her and she should count her blessings.
* Jack frequently is faced with moral dilemmas and Kenneth is always around to remind him of his guilt and to make the right decisions.
* Tracy often participates in various crazy schemes and Kenneth is usually around to remind him of how his actions have consequences on others and attempts to ground him in real life scenarios.
* Jenna is a self-centered individual and Kenneth has on numerous occasions attempted to allow her to become selfless.
[[WMG:TGS was cancelled three years ago, and no-one noticed.]]
Given that they spend all their time solving various wacky personal problems and dealing with Tracy and Jenna's craziness, they've simply forgotten all about writing, rehearsing and performing sketches.
[[WMG:The Live episode was a depiction of how Jack sees the world while sober.]]
He spent the whole episode sober for the first time in ten years. As soon as he took a drink, the show went back to normal.
* When he was sober he was apparently able to see into Liz's flashbacks (and note that she imagines herself as looking different). Interesting, considering how clever and focused he can be when drunk. Sobriety just takes his natural brainpower UpToEleven, giving him literal superpowers. We'd better hope he stays on the stuff. A psychic Jack Donaghy could take over the world!
[[WMG: By the finale of Season 5 (or less likely, during the first episode of Season 6), Kenneth will have either taken over NBC or Kabletown by some strange confluence of incidents, [[TheGump historical]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity or]] [[ContrivedCoincidence other]][[SeeminglyProfoundFool wise]], or doomed everyone [[OmnicidalManiac one]] [[AxCrazy way]] or [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo another]].]]
Early in Season 1, Jack said that in five years, they would all be ruled over by Kenneth or die by his hands. The "die by his hands" thing is unlikely, even if it's the SeriesFinale, but Kenneth-from-pre-industrial-Stone-Mountain ruling over NBC (even without exercising any power) would be even more comically nauseating for Jack than Kabletown alone.
* Seeing how in ''Que sorpresa!'' , [[spoiler: Kenneth actually showed quite a lot of compatibility with Kabletown owner Hank Hooper's way of business and values]]. This may actually happen.
[[WMG: Donaghy Estates Champagne is like Nia's Cooking from TengenToppaGurrenLagann]]
Everyone who drinks it hates it and spits it out, but Tracy Jordan drinks several glasses while sitting in a meeting with Jack during "The Source Awards". Just like Nia's cooking is directly related to how much spiral power each character possesses in Gurren Lagann, how much the characters like Donaghy Estates relates to how much spiral power they have, it's just that Tracy is the only one who has any.
[[WMG: Lutz is a zombie]]
It would explain all his health issues (extreme gas passing, him with his shirt off...) and it would explain his reaction to Liz saying "one unsolved crew member death".
[[WMG: Carmen Chao is one of Kenneth's race.]]
She has no discernible background and may or may not be able to speak every language. She's clearly their [[{{Lost}} Richard Alpert.]]
[[WMG: Paul (Will Forte) is the same character that he was in "Black Tie," Tomas. This could work in one of two ways:]]
1. After meeting Jenna at the party, he became infatuated with her, leading him to change his name and his new lookalike persona.
2. Because Jenna was basically responsible for Prince Gerhardt's death, he swore revenge upon her and is using their relationship to get closer to her and take her down.
* 2a. The above was the original plan, but he actually did fall in love with her along the way.
[[WMG: Kenneth is an AngelUnaware]]
This is why he hates to lie. It goes against his nature. Should he '''fall''', humanity will have difficulties.
[[WMG: Kenneth is the latest host to an immortal alien parasite.]]
The Parcells are an ordinary tribe of humans who have been inbred to homogeneity to suit the preferences of the alien parasite.
[[WMG: The show is porn for geeks.]]
Just like the "Porn for women" concept, the entire show is designed to be "turn on" for geeks. Let's just count the damage: Liz has the body of Tina Fey, an interest in all sorts of geeky things, and while smart and creative, she is at the same time predictable, subservient and dependent.
