Played: Oprah Winfrey in "Believe in the Stars"

If your Top 5 "30 Rock" Quotes list doesn't include "I'm snitting next to Borpo," you're doing it wrong. Nothing Oprah did in her brief appearance sharing a flight with a drug-addled Liz was actually funny, but as straight-women go, Oprah's patient acceptance of Liz's stream-of-conscious ramblings is just about the most Oprah-y thing ever [how Fey submitted "Reunion" as her Emmy episode that year is a mystery, not that it hurt her]. While "30 Rock" never got around to having Oprah back, the famous Oprah cameo got a roundabout shout-out this year with the appearance by Gayle King in "My Whole Life Is Thunder."
