The usual bustle in the streets and sidewalks around New York’s famed Rockefeller Plaza was halted for about an hour this afternoon after an unidentified man scaled the glass wall of the building’s 66th-story observation deck and threatened to jump. Police and fire officials blocked off parts of 5th Avenue and West 50th St. as the man perched on the building’s ledge; he eventually surrendered to authorities, but not before throwing several items to the street below. An NBC producer told the New York Daily News that 30 Rock’s most famous tenant, NBC, had a live feed of the scene showing in one of the network’s newsrooms. “The office was incapable of working once we caught wind of this guy,” he said.

he was protesting the lack of comedy of the NBC show with the same name.
I thought Must See TV was on Thursday.
Zucker, this is absurd. Everybody loves you. Come on down.
I heard it was a Fox News viewer and he was making the point he accidently watched NBC news and the reality of what the real world was like made him want to jump.
It was nuts…thanks for holding me up in traffic Jeff Zucker! (I did catch a original signed jay leno show contract though..coolio!)
Was it Keith Olbermann?
So this is where Leno, O’Brien and Letterman get their opening monologue one-liners!
