    Maybe later Bluray releases removed them? I have an early BD release that I just watched to confirm (that line’s at the 5:31 mark), and that line is present.

    As for why, Tina Fey is on record regretting some of the racially insensitive jokes they made (Jenna in blackface was a big one), so maybe that was on the list? I think I’ve read that the Amazon streams are also edited.

    Here’s the article about the blackface regrets: https://people.com/tv/tina-fey-requests-removal-of-30-rock-episodes-with-blackface/

    This episode wasn’t mentioned, so I guess I don’t know why that particular line would have been cut out.

          “Sir, I’m asking you as a human being to please stop talking like that!”

      I remember the one where Tracy dresses up like a woman and Jenna dresses up like a black person, but what are the other plot points that involve black face?

        Jon Hamm in one of the live episodes and Jenna again when she and Paul go as two black swans for Halloween. I think those are only 3?
