Julia Louis-Dreyfus as live-show Liz
Beth, Jamie's mom from "Cougars"
Rick, the roller skating drag queen from "Christmas Attack Zone"
Sarah Palin as Liz from 31 Rock a parody video she made for some reason. Also, DotCom is in it?!

- Nice catches. I remembered porn Liz after I posted. Totally forgot about staged reaction shot Liz and that Amy Pohler played her in the second live show.
  Also, I'm just now remembering butt-double Liz:
  
  Speaking of body doubles, there was also the time Liz jumped over the table in S4E22 "I Do Do"

How could you leave out el tejón?
- Nice catch.
  How could you leave out el tejón?
  Because I didn't think of it. 🤷‍♀️
  
  I’m sure you did your best.

Wait, are we just going to skip over 31 Rock? This is the first I'm hearing of it. I need waaaay more details. Is that 1 minute clip all that was ever made? Or did they actually make a full on show?
Because yes, I would totally believe they made at least one episode of this parody show. It's easy to believe when you can't believe this concept exists at all. So at that point, what barriers could POSSIBLY exist?
- From reading a few articles, it seems the clip was simply a spoof, and no full episode was ever intended to be made. I gather that it exists for two reasons:
  As a lighthearted jab at Fey, who (for the first time in eight years) had reprised her famous SNL role parodying Palin a week prior
  More importantly, as marketing for Palin's new book that we hear Dotcom complimenting here
- I think the whole 1 minute "trailer" is the whole thing. The article I found on it mentions the same things as the other comment, so that's probably right (promo for her book + jab at Fey).
  I didn't even know it existed until I was sourcing images for this post, and the one of Palin as Liz was a thumbnail for a YT video, so of course I had to click on it and probably ruin the already terrible recommendations on the homepage 🤣
  The worst part about it is....I didn't totally hate it.

On a similar note, here are all instances of a different actor portraying a young Liz:

URL	Episode	Actor	Role
	S1E11 "The Head and the Hair"	Michal Antonov	Refusing to sit on Santa’s lap
	S2E1 "Seinfeldvision"	Michal Antonov	Marrying her stuffed animal
	S2E4 "Rosemary’s Baby"	Marcella Roy	Watching Rosemary Howard’s show
	S5E9 "Chain Reaction of Mental Anguish"	Marcella Roy	Calling Santa a fat fraud
	S6E6 "Hey, Baby, What’s Wrong?"	Marcella Roy	Getting rejected on Valentine’s Day
	S6E14 "Kidnapped by Danger"	Marcella Roy	Being “The Blocker” on her parents’ anniversary
	S6E17 "Meet the Woggels!"	Marcella Roy	Having “The Talk” with her grandfather
	S6E19 "Live from Studio 6H"	Amy Poehler	Watching telethon
	S7E7 "Mazel Tov, Dummies!"	Marcella Roy	Marrying her stuffed animal
	S7E7 "Mazel Tov, Dummies!"	Alice Richmond	First ever eye roll

Is there a tool that helps with making tables? I know the markdown to do it, but it's still a confusing mess to work with.
- All that I can think of is this tool that someone posted recently:
  https://thisdavej.com/copy-table-in-excel-and-paste-as-a-markdown-table/
  You copy a range of cells from somewhere like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, etc., then paste into this website, and it reformats it as a markdown table.
  But myself, I am comfortable enough with markdown to just type it out manually directly into a Lemmy comment. Though for a markdown table that is relatively large (like the one above), I generally create it from scratch in a separate text editor program and then copy/paste it into Lemmy. A text editor is just a larger space to work in and has things like find/replace to make things go faster.
  If you have any specific questions/problems, I am happy to help!

Is this c/30Rock or c/GILFisland???
