"Governor Dunston" is the second episode of the seventh season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 127th overall episode of the series. It was written and directed by Robert Carlock. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on October 11, 2012.
"Governor Dunston" received a positive critical response and was watched by 3.4 million viewers.
Liz (Tina Fey) continues with her plan of getting pregnant, while helping Jack (Alec Baldwin) with his plot to tank NBC by letting her writers write whatever they want for TGS, with the results being terrible sketches and low ratings. At Jack's request, she agrees not to write anything political, as that has raised their ratings in the past. Things are hindered when Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan drops out of the Presidential race (after being discovered to have been born in Kenya), and Mitt Romney replaces him with Governor Dunston (Tracy Morgan), a bumbling southern Republican with a striking resemblance to Tracy (Tracy Morgan). Liz comes under pressure from Pete and her writing staff to write sketches making fun of Dunston. At Jack's request, Liz promises not to write any political sketches making fun of Governor Dunston, but she eventually caves in to Pete and the writers' demands yet manages to keep her promise by only quoting Dunston verbatim.
