Great 30 Rock Casting News: Elizabeth Banks as Love Interest for Jack Donaghy

at .

We can't get enough of Elizabeth Banks.

Fortunately, the beautiful, hilarious actress can't get enough of guest-starring on hit sitcoms, either.

More than a year removed from her stint as JD's baby mama on Scrubs, and just a few weeks removed from her appearance on Modern Family, Banks has signed on for a recurring role on 30 Rock in early 2010.

According to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, Banks will come aboard the NBC hit as a love interest for Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy. She'll appear in at least four episodes.

Her character will actually mark Jack's second high-profile romance of the season: Julianne Moore kicks off a multi-week arc as his high school crush this week. That lucky, dry-witted dog.

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
