Late last year, a potential heir to “30 Rock” debuted on a largely unheralded streaming service. “Saved by the Bell,” Peacock’s reboot of the 1989-93 teen staple, traded its forerunner’s clunkiness for a fleet and jazzy willingness to push past absurdity. From its breezy relationship with reality to its rich and deep bench of characters, it was no surprise that this series came from the mind of a key force behind “30 Rock” — Tracey Wigfield, who shared an Emmy win with Tina Fey for writing that series’s finale. Wigfield’s impish, hyperverbal humor both recalled her past creative home at its best and suggested that it might have a future.
The resounding creative success of “Bell” has one downside: It serves to emphasize that which does not work about “Mr. Mayor,” NBC’s new sitcom co-created by Fey and Robert Carlock. The two driving forces behind “30 Rock...

Despite their immediate on-screen chemistry as comic foils on the new NBC comedy “Mr. Mayor,” Ted Danson and Holly Hunter didn’t know each other prior to working on the show.
“I run in shallower circles then Holly,” Danson jokes. “At the Golden Globes, she’s sitting in the movie section I’m down in the TV section.”
In this bonus episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Danson and Hunter talk about their starring roles in “Mr. Mayor,” including their give and take, learning how to perform the rapid-fire jokes that are the hallmark of a Tina Fey and Robert Carlock script. They also share what it’s like to work in quarantine, and Danson, who plays the mayor of Los Angeles in the series, reveals whether he has any political aspirations of his own. Listen to the podcast below:

The new NBC sitcom Mr. Mayor began life as a 30 Rock spinoff in which Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy, having conquered the corporate worlds of Ge and Kabletown, would run for mayor of New York City. Baldwin ultimately wouldn’t agree to a contract, at which point 30 Rock creator Tina Fey and her longtime collaborator Robert Carlock pivoted to another tall, multiple-Emmy-winning NBC institution: Ted Danson. They relocated the story to Los Angeles, because the Cheers and Good Place alum didn’t want to move, and voila, a series was born.

Tina Fey has produced two series that have earned multiple SAG Award nominations — “30 Rock” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” — and she might just add a third at the 2021 awards. Her new NBC sitcom, “Mr. Mayor,” stars Ted Danson as a businessman running for mayor in Los Angeles, with Holly Hunter, Vella Lovell, Mike Cabellon, Kyla Kenedy and Bobby Moynihan filling out the cast. The show premieres January 7 on NBC and while most years it would be deemed ineligible for the upcoming SAG Awards, the circumstances of 2020 mean it will be on the ballot ahead of February’s nominations announcement.
If “Mr. Mayor” proves to be a breakout hit, it could be positioned very well at the exact moment the SAG nominating committee is voting. Such voters may be more likely to check out “Mr. Mayor” considering Fey’s pedigree, winning five SAG Awards for “30 Rock.” The show itself earned 22 SAG nominations in total,...
