Jennifer Aniston is heading back to primetime, with a guest appearance on NBC’s “30 Rock,” the network announced on Tuesday, confirming an earlier report by AccessHollywood.com.
Aniston will appear in one episode as a “free-spirited, ‘Fatal Attraction’-like stalker” named Claire Harper, who is the Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) former Chicago roommate, NBC revealed.
When Claire shows up in New York, she instantly attaches herself to Liz’s boss, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin).

“Jennifer is not only incredibly lovely to have around, she also has what the young people would call ‘mad skills.’ We’re very excited that she’s joining us,” Fey said.
And judging from the first sneak peek photo of Aniston’s cameo, released by Bauer-Griffin Online, it appears a fountain comes into play – a la her famous “Friends” opening sequence.
Aniston’s last notable TV appearance came opposite former “Friends” co-star Courteney Cox in the F/X series “Dirt.”
