Excuse me, it seems someone has spilled some Photoshop on your right arm there
It was the very model of a modern late night TV show.
Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment? Lol
It’s from the first episode: “The Cold Open”
There I go proving that I never watched it I guess 😆
I loved Studio 60. Such a great show

Funnily enough, I just watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
I think it might have been a different viewing experience when it was new, but it’s hard to not view it through the modern lens where 30 Rock made it - and therefore defined the “genre” of show-about-a-SNL-type-show - and Studio 60 didn’t.
Wikipedia indeed includes an entire section about this in the pages for both shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_60_on_the_Sunset_Strip#Similarities_to_30_Rock / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Rock#Similarities_to_other_media
But it does answer the question of “what if in a parallel universe, 30 Rock was a slightly weirdly paced character drama?”.
Yeah, I’ll never understand why NBC couldn’t keep them both. How does the slightest topic overlap require them to kill one?
Studio 60 was too good to survive more than 1 season.
