Jan Hooks guest starred as the title character last night on 30 Rock, as "Verna" featured the arrival of Jenna's mom, which tied into Jack's own mom issues.

As a Saturday Night Live fan introduced to the show in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was great to see Jan back, and appropriately on a Tina Fey show.

She was terrific as Jenna's mom, although any episode featuring Jenna leaves something to be desired. As did Liz's story, which basically recycled past ones.

Really, seeing people from TGS crash at her place is hilarious, but even that gets old the second or third time. Especially having set the bar high with Tracy.

Jenna and Verna (guest star Jan Hooks) rock out on 30 Rock.

Of course, even a mediocre episode of 30 Rock still contains a dozen classic one-liners, some coming at you at a pace faster than you can even process.

Some classics resulted when Jenna, reeling from Verna's arrival, found someone empathize with her about having a bad mother - Jack Donaghy, natch.

Meanwhile, Kenneth had all sorts of crazy ideas and observations, and Frank clogged the toilet and sink, and Pete did what he could to feel ... anything.

Follow the jump for some classic 30 Rock quotes from last night ...
