But don’t fret. Even when it’s over we’ll have the wisdom of former Head of TV and Microwave Oven Programming, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), ringing in our ears. In between staring out the window and drinking scotch, he’s mentored Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) in everything from dating to ‘handshakefulness’.

Here we’ve put together the ten best pieces of Donaghy advice to help guide you through every aspect of life. Although if your wife’s been kidnapped by the North Koreans none of this is going to be of use and it’s probably best to take Tracy Jordan’s advice: “Live every week like it’s shark week”. Sage words indeed…

 

On Drinking…
“It’s business drunk, it’s like rich drunk. Either way it’s legal to drive.”

On Grooming…
“I get my hair cut every two days. After all, your hair is your head suit.”

On Fashion…
(in response to Liz asking why he’s wearing a tuxedo) “It’s after six. What am I, a farmer?”

On Business…
“Not everyone is cut out to be a business man. For example, curly-haired men or people who need glasses.”

On Gambling…
“Let’s hit the Meadowlands racetrack on the way home. I’ve got a betting system based on horse penis size.”

On Property…
“I know this sounds ugly but in Manhattan real estate there are no rules, it’s like check-in at an Italian airport.”

On Science…
“If we can put an ear on a mouse’s back, we can certainly make a peacock immortal!”

On the Press…
“Darn liberal media. That’s why I always get my news from Dick Cheney’s website, DickNews.com.”

On Art…
“We know what Art is: it’s paintings of horses!”

On Home Furnishings…
“Ambition is the willingness to kill the things you love and eat them in order to stay alive. Haven’t you read my throw pillow?”
