The Chuckle Hut

Definitely my favorite 30 Rock episode --  Jack and Liz come down to Stone Mountain, Georgia to scout out comedy talent Rick Wayne & Pumpkin (played by Jeff Dunham).  

After seeing Jeff Dunham's performance in this episode, I remembered how I know him.  He's from Dallas, went to my college, and back in the 80' s my Dad hired him to perform at our church banquets with his characters, Peanut and Jose 'The jalapeno on a stick'.  



Favorite Quotes from this episode:

"But there are not restaurants called "Fatty Fat Sandwich Ranch' Turn here! Turn Here!"
- Liz Lemon to Jack

"What a suprise, your worldview is food-based."
- Jack Donague to Liz

"Which is why I will have the Carp Po-Boy with extra Chuckle"
- Liz Lemon at the Chuckle Hut drive-through

"Tell me about the peach festival"
- Jack Donague to Clerk
