Tuesday, we got our first look at James Franco on ‘General Hospital.’ His guest-starring stint -- specifics of the daytime role remain unknown -- hits the air Nov. 20.

Today, Entertainment Weekly reports that the ‘Pineapple Express’ star will appear on ’30 Rock’ as himself in a story line involving a staged PR-baiting romance with Jane Krakowski’s Jenna.

He’s no David Hasselhoff, but maybe Franco can get Germans, who apparently don’t find Tina Fey too funny, to tune in.

Correction: A previous version of this post stated that the air date for Franco’s appearance would be on the 30th. It has been corrected.
