Why the clues pointed to Jack Donaghy
The Show clue was 30 Rock, which premiered on NBC and ran from 2006 to 2013. 6 characters in the game come from that show, so a green Show cell cut the field to them in one guess.
The Debut clue was 2006, the year of Jack Donaghy's first episode, "Pilot" (Season 1, Episode 1). Any guess who debuted within three years turned the cell amber, a window that holds 81 characters, and the arrow pointed toward 2006 from either side.
The Network clue was NBC, shared by 111 characters, and the Role clue was Main: credited as main cast for at least one season, true of 209 characters. Put together with the Gender clue (Male), the five colors left very few names, and he was the one that fit every cell.
Jack Donaghy is General Electric's Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming, a poor Boston kid turned silver-tongued corporate climber. Played by Alec Baldwin, he barges into Liz Lemon's life in the pilot and spends seven seasons handing out ruthless business wisdom and surprisingly tender advice.
