Matt Damon will appear on Thursday’s live taping of 30 Rock.

The 40-year-old actor won’t be the only guest star around. Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm will also make an appearance!

Matt will reprise his role as a pilot, the man of Liz Lemon’s dreams (Tina Fey). Matt and his family are already in town — he attended the closing night festivities of the New York Film Festival last night.

EW reports the ep will revolve around a taping of the fictional live variety show TGS.

James Franco is set to make a a guest appearance as himself on NBC’s critically-acclaimed show 30 Rock.

The 31-year-old actor will be involved in a faux romance with Jenna (Jane Krakowski, inset).

Creator/producer/star Tina Fey told EW, “[Jenna gets] into a high-profile relationship with a movie star that is arranged by their agents.”

James is currently in L.A. shooting his first few episodes for ABC soap opera General Hospital. He’ll return back to the Big Apple later this week to shoot 30 Rock.

Salma Hayek is set to star in two episodes of 30 Rock, according to The Post.

Sources say that Tina Fey, the Emmy-winning show’s creator, was so eager to have Salma guest that she made the request herself, personally calling Hayek with the invitation.

Hayek, who also appeared on Ugly Betty two seasons ago, will appear on 30 Rock, “as a character – not as herself.”

She joins a star-studded list of guest stars that includes Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey and Gossip Girl frenemies Blake Lively (Serena) and Leighton Meester (Blair). The girls will play high school classmates of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) in a flashback sequence on an upcoming episode airing this November.

Jennifer Aniston has a smashing good time filming her cameo for the hit NBC comedy 30 Rock” at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City on Friday.

The 39-year-old former Friends star will play Claire Harper, the former roommate of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), and begins to stalk Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin). The episode will air this fall.

Looks like one of Jen‘s scenes included her and Jenna (Jane Krakowski) dancing around in spraying water. A fire hydrant or water sprinkler, perhaps?

30 Rock returns with its third season premiere on Thursday, October 30th 9:30PM ET/PT on NBC.
