"Considering the credits listed Horatio Sanz, I’m guessing it WAS Horatio Sanz, possibly post-stomach stapling… "

the line I loved was when Liz recited all of the V-Day-avoidance activities that she will be doing to keep herself busy and Jack says to her

The way it was delivered - oh man…

“Or… I am the Painting Elephant of Awesomeness!”

Yep, that was Horatio, great role for him, the guest stars in this one were awesome. The nurses part was freaking hilarious. I’m still waiting for the Jack/Liz hookup. I thought it showed that she had some feelings for him when he made the hair comment (showing off his A game)

Wait- what was Sanz in this ep? I can’t remember where he may have shown up.

Jenna’s stalker.

That was Horatio Sanz?!?

I almost forgot – did anyone else check Lutz’s “proof” that his girlfriend is real?

Stomach stapling. But, though I speak as a fat man who might be handsome without the fat (my brothers and father are), who knew he was rather nice looking? The insulting cliche would’ve been to use Horatio Sanz from SNL a couple years ago as her stalker. Using slender, kinda handsome, well-spoken Sanz was an interesting choice.

Megan Mullally, Karen Black, Bridget Hanley from “Here Come the Brides,” the girl from “Frosty the Snowman,” and (Who’s the fifth? It’s on the tip of my brain.), all posing as Karen Mackenzie-L’Amour-Gretzky.

I’m afraid to click on it at work, but I’m dying to know what’s at the “From The Creative Genius Of Tracey Jordan- The XXX Liz Lemon Story” link on that page.

I wonder if it’s a tie-in to 1-900-OK-FACE?

Jack: “Walk over later and pretend that you know me.”
Bon Jovi: “Sure. That sounds like an effective use of my time and talent.”

It’s hard to tell because he wasn’t laughing.

Baldwin’s brush off of Bon Jovi is based on an old joke I’ve heard several comedians tell, but I think it originated with Don Rickles.

Rickles said when he was a young-ish comic in Vegas and courting the woman he would eventually marry he saw Frank Sinatra, who he knew but only barely, and he cornered one of Sinatra’s entourage in the men’s room and begged him to ask Frank to please come speak to him so he could impress his girlfriend. Frank was of course totally sympathetic to guys wanting to score, so as he was he was leaving the restaurant he walked over and tapped on Rickles’ shoulder and said ‘Donny, hiya doin’ tonight’, to which Rickles replied by looking over his shoulder and saying “Fuck off Frank, I’m busy” then going back to his date.

Rickles said Frank turned red and stormed out of the restaurant calling Rickles every kind of motherfucker and Jewish pejorative he could think of and saying how that *@(@#$*8hing would never work in Vegas again, etc. etc… He also said his girlfriend was REALLY impressed. Rickles was afraid he’d end the night in the E.R. and was paranoid until he somehow got word to Sinatra that he’d kill a man or whatever it took to make it right.

Per Rickles when Sinatra calmed down and realized what had happened he thought it was one of the funniest things ever and he made Rickles tell the story a thousand and four times, and it’s how they became friends (though ‘Vegas friends’). No idea if the story’s true, but Rickles tells it well and since it’s so unlike most of his jokes I tend to believe it.

Maybe, and the name would fit with the other Karens, but since that solidifies the pattern #3 couldn’t be Bridget Hanley because she never played someone named Karen. Candy on HCtBs, a Kathryn on I Dream of Jeannie, but no Karens.

Karen #3 appears to be Karen Carpenter

That makes sense.
