Savanna Samson — who I’ve never heard about before today, I swear — will play a porn star in tomorrow’s episode of “30 Rock,” giving men a second piece of eye candy to watch during the Emmy-winning comedy. (The other? Alec Baldwin Katrina Bowden.)
In the episode, which airs Thursday, Samson plays Porn Liz, the porn star version of Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon… “My entire experience in working with ‘30 Rock’ was fun from beginning to end,” Samson said. “It’s really an honor to play the porn version of the Tina Fey character as I’ve admired her for years on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and I love what she’s done with this series.”
Throughout her entertainment career Samson has proven to be somewhat of a renaissance woman. She’s a singer (her single “Kiss Me All Over” was released by Koch Records), an author (she co-wrote “How to Have a XXX Sex Life: The Ultimate Vivid Guide”) and a vintner (her wine, Sogno Uno, an Italian red, was rated a 91 from wine critic Robert Parker).
Yes, such a renaissance woman. So many skills. Like that time she was filmed having sex with six guys at the same time, which she described as her “best ever” scene. Just a dynamic artistic force. She can really do them it all.

This hardly seems like news, but for whatever reason Hustler’s series of pornographic classic TV spoofs is making headlines, perhaps due to the popularity of “This Ain’t Star Trek XXX.” (Strange… I somehow missed the first 29 installments.) Variety says:
Other programs immortalized under the “This Ain’t …” and “Not the…” umbrellas (as in “Not the Cosbys”) include “Happy Days,” “The Partridge Family,” “Gilligan’s Island,” “The Munsters” and “The Brady Bunch.”
Hustler’s infatuation with TV also encompasses current reality programs, such as “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” And there are more sitcom sendups on the horizon, among them the semi-sacrilegious “Everybody Loves Lucy,” which will be available, naturally, in both black-and-white and color.
Porn producers have had fun for years playing off popular movie and TV titles. The twist now is going the extra mile to invest projects with better production values that actually have scripts and genuinely resemble the source material.
Whoa whoa whoa. They’re making porn with actual scripts now? Well la dee dah, your highness. “Oh, I only mahstahbate to pornography with a script; I need to be emotionally involved with the characters. And don’t you find verisimilitude with the source material arousing?” I didn’t realize I was hanging out with jerkoff royalty. Everybody bow to Prince Harry Palms.
