Jenna Maroney From '30 Rock' Was Psychic—And Yes, We Have Undeniable Proof

30 Rock might've aired its final episode back in 2013, but the legacy of the oh-so-eccentric Jenna Maroney lives on.


Twitter User and Playbill Managing News Editor Ryan McPhee has cooked up an interesting theory about the fan-favorite bubbly, blonde and all of the predictions she has made which have come true since the television series ended.

You can read them all here.

In short, Jenna Maroney was a psychic.

Allow us to explain.

One of the most famous episodes of the show is the 10th episode of the first season, where Jenna releases an independent film called The Rural Juror.

During the episode, it is explained that the movie is based on a novel by Kevin Grisham, fictional brother of real-life novelist, activist, attorney, and politician John Grisham.

Jenna goes on to perform a song from the film on-stage...

...and then, in 2013, a Grisham did see his novel transformed into a production on Broadway. John Grisham's debut novel and one of his bestselling legal thrillers, A Time to Kill, saw a stage adaptation at the John Golden Theatre.

Example two.

Fast-forward to the 18th episode of season three, and Jenna is producing yet another movie, this time a biopic on Janis Joplin called Jackie Jormp-Jomp, which ultimately failed to take off.

Well folks, guess what happened years later in 2018?

Yes, a failed biopic about singer-songwriter and female rock star extraordinaire, Janis Joplin!

The biopic starring award-winning actress Amy Adams, Get it While You Can, was axed in 2017 after almost seven years of attempting to bring the film to life. Wild!

Still not convinced?

She featured a nordic werewolf on an unforgettable sketch dubbed "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" on the fictional SNL style show, TGS with Tracy Jordan during season two.

What type of animal was featured in the highly-anticipated superhero sequel Thor: Ragnarok in 2017? Yes, a nordic werewolf named Fenrir!

Finally we can't forget about Mystic Pizza.

Mystic Pizza was a (real-life) popular rom-com in the '80s, starring Julia Roberts, Lili Taylor, and Annabeth Gish.

In the second season of 30 Rock, Jenna credits her summer weight gain to her role in Mystic Pizza: The Musical.

Now, in 2019, it has been announced that the romantic comedy is actually going to be adapted into a musical! On Broadway! Can you believe it?

So we rest our case here.

Jenna Maroney was psychic!

Thank you for shedding a light on this important information, Ryan.

Jenna Maroney the Prophet!

People were blown away and beyond impressed.

How could you not be?

This is almost on-par with the predictions made by The Simpsons, people!



And when you think about it, this would make the writers of the show, like Tina Fey and Donald Glover, real prophets.

Right?

Right.




Some are satisfied and others are demanding Rural Juror on Broadway specifically.

Who knows?

Given these predictions and outcomes, anything can happen.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
