Season Five of 30 Rock began airing on September 23, 2010 on NBC in the United States. An episode from this season called Live Show was filmed and broadcast live, twice, on the evening of October 14, 2010. The two separate recordings resulted in a live telecast of the episode to American viewers in both the West and East Coast. This season also featured the show's 100th episode, called 100, which aired as a one-hour episode. During shooting of the season, Tracy Morgan underwent an emergency operation, causing his character to be written out for several episodes.
