Justin Timberlake: The Next 30 Rock Guest Star?

at .

We love Betty White and all. We're sure she'll make a funny 30 Rock guest star.

But the fact that show writers spoke to a different celebrity backstage at this year's Emmy Awards has us really excited. According to E! News, a scribe approached Justin Timberlake and said:

"Justin, man, we need to figure out a way to get you on 30 Rock."

The singer's response, reportedly, was positive. How great would that be?!?

Star Alec Baldwin, conversely, was less excited about the idea of bringing Twilight star Robert Pattinson on board. When asked about that possibility, the actor said:

"Uh... I don't know. I'm sure shows like Desperate Housewives want him. There's no shortage of opportunities for him. But our writers don't write for stars, with one exception, and that would be Oprah."

And Timberlake, they hope.

30 Rock Quotes

Jack: Are you familiar with the GE tri-vection oven?
Liz: I don't cook very much.
Jack: Sure... I gotcha. New York, third-wave feminist, college-educated, single and pretending to be happy about it, over-scheduled, undersexed, you buy any magazine that says "healthy body image" on the cover, and every two years you take up knitting for ... a week.
Pete: That is dead on!
Liz: What, are you going to guess my weight now?
Jack: You don't want me to do that.

[to Liz] I like you. You have the boldness of a much younger woman.

Jack
