"I Heart Connecticut" is the nineteenth episode of the fifth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 99th overall episode of the series. It was directed by Stephen Lee Davis, and written by Vali Chandrasekaran & Jon Haller. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on April 14, 2011. Guest stars in this episode include Rob Riggle, Phil Rosenthal, Steve Cirbus, and Seth Kirschner.
In the episode, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) go on a quest to find Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) now that they know he is not in Africa. Meanwhile, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) is set to star in a torture porn movie called Take My Hand but after several issues with the budget, Jack Donaghy tries to make sure that the movie is profitable by doing almost anything, including adding Wal-Mart and Phil Rosenthal as sponsors. At TGS Pete Hornberger (Scott Adsit) unexpectedly becomes an arm wrestling champion amongst the crew.
With the revelation that Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) is still in New York City somewhere, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) conduct a search to find him before upper management can cancel TGS in his absence. Their search leads them to a warehouse that Tracy appears to have been hiding out in until recently. Meanwhile, Jenna Maroney is set to star in a torture porn movie called Take My Hand, but upon informing Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) of this, he recognises it as a failed NBC production from a number of years ago. With the budget threatening to overwhelm, Jack is determined to make the film profitable in some way.
