 Liz was the head writer for a sketch comedy show called The Girlie Show, which starred Jenna Maroney ( Jane Krakowski) and Josh Girard ( Lonny Ross). Along with her producer Pete Hornberger ( Scott Adsit), Liz's show was in a complete comfort zone. A great crew, great set of actors and a boss that adored them. However, their former boss (whom is never shown) is said simply to have died and Jack Donaghy ( Alec Baldwin) introduces himself to them as their new boss.' 
 
 After a brief introduction and a prompt discussion of why her show is not hitting the "target demographics", Jack tells Liz to talk to Tracy Jordan ( Tracy Morgan), an out-of-control hollywood star, and try to get him to join the show. Immediately after Tracy's first TV appearance, The Girlie Show is immediately renamed to TGS with Tracy Jordan and Liz is forced to control Tracy's craziness, Jenna's new-found jealousy and her writer staff's constant stupidities.
