 Jack visits Liz in her office and informs her of the latest decision from the NBC executive board – TGS needs to end. In three weeks, a new show will take its place.

An emotional Liz reveals this to the cast and crew of her show, who all begin to cry with the exception of Tracy, who stands up and motivates the cast and crew to “do the best show they have ever done”. They get hard to work on writing the show.

A flashback to a week earlier.

Jack is at Sardi’s lunching with “Joyous Noise” (Broadway’s top female impersonator played by Hank Azaria) convincing him to be on TGS to save the ratings. It is outside he meets Laura Campton (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), the president of CBS. They go to a cheap diner (Monk’s from Seinfeld) where she explains that she has a brilliant new show for her network but can’t find a place on her highly successful network. The show is “Dinner with the Roosevelts”, which stars Kelsey Grammer and Cynthia Nixon as the Roosevelts. Jack says that NBC will be fully willing to help it find a place. He realizes that he needs to cancel one show on NBC in order to add the new one. He decides that TGS has ran its course and that it will be replaced by “Dinner with the Roosevelts”.

Back to the current time, Liz has managed to secure Jack Nicholson and Barbra Streisand to appear on the final episode of TGS. Tracy is unhappy with the fact that he has to appear in a supporting category to the legendary Nicholson. Tracy and Nicholson begin a vicious cat-and-mouse game of wits.

Meanwhile, Kenneth (who is still a janitor) is visited by Levi Anderson (Dustin Hoffman), the elderly head of the complaints department at NBC. Noticing Kenneth has the ability to effectively take care of complaining viewers, he offers Kenneth a job in the Complaints Department.

Jack and Laura have fallen for each other, but they have to keep the romance a secret from Laura’s stay-at-home son Ricky (Jonah Hill) who does not approve of Laura having a boyfriend after his father left him five years earlier.

Almost complete with the script for the final episode, Liz discovers that she is pregnant with Criss’ child. They celebrate by going for dinner at Sardi’s where Liz runs into Joyous Noise, who is revealed to actually be a former boyfriend of Liz when she was in college. The three eat dinner together, much to Liz’s dismay. Concerned that Joyous is trying to break her and Criss up, Liz confronts him where he reveals that he has been happily married to a woman who impersonates male performers. They say their goodbyes as Liz and Criss return home. In an alley behind her apartment, Criss is attacked to a street hobo, who actually turns out to be a romantic singer (played by Elton John). He sings as Criss proposes to Liz.

It is the night of the final episode. Jack and Laura are in attendance with Ricky. Kenneth receives many complaints about a TV show that aired previously. He goes in to report the volume of complaints to Anderson. He finds Anderson had died of a heart attack an hour earlier. Jack enters to find Kenneth upset but names Kenneth the new head of the complaints department (mostly because he is the only other worker there apart from Teri, an elderly woman who exhibits signs of dementia).

Five minutes before the airing, Liz cannot find either Tracy or Nicholson. She finds them out on the roof crying because they cannot handle all the pressure of being dignified actors now that they have both won Oscars. Liz convinces them to perform their best tonight.

The show airs without a hitch and receives critical acclaim. As they are leaving, Ricky talks to Jack in private, saying that he was doubtful of him at first but then notices what a good man he is. He tells Jack that he approves of him dating his mother. Jack hugs and him calls him “the son I never had or wanted”'

Flash forward to twenty five years into the future. Liz and Criss have been married for many years, and their daughter Murphy Tyler Cross (named after Murphy Brown and Mary Tyler Moore) is now the head writer for “Dinner with the Roosevelts”. Jack and Laura’s child Don Donaghy is a successful actor/producer has replaced Kelsey Grammer in the role of Roosevelt. Tracy and Jenna have gone on to win Academy Awards and became legends in the industry, particularly for their directorial efforts. The final scene shows Murphy and Don taking the elevator up to the office of the president of NBC, who is revealed to be Kenneth.

p.s. Sorry for all the detail :P
