Oprah Winfrey shoots 30 rock cameo

2 months ago 19th Sep 16:01

Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has signed up for a guest spot on TV comedy 30 Rock in a bid to boost the show's flagging ratings.

The Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey-starring sitcom is critically acclaimed, but has struggled to attract viewers - prompting NBC bosses to look for guest stars.

Winfrey shot her role at the weekend, and will appear in one episode on 6 November.

NBC boss Teri Weinberg says, "Oprah Winfrey's presence on 30 Rock makes this episode a television event. She is a true legend in her own time, and in this comedy's tradition, it provides the perfect showcase for stars of her renowned status. We are all thrilled."

30 Rock creator/star Tina Fey adds, "Oprah is very funny in the episode, and we are beyond grateful to have her. Also, I would like to announce that we are officially best friends."
