Is That You, Astronaut Mike Dexter?

Ever since I heard that Matt Damon would be guesting on the May 20 season finale of TV’s 30 Rock, I’ve been anticipating, with breath that is bated, finally – at last! – meeting Astronaut Mike Dexter, Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) wishful-thinking boyfriend.

As we learned from last night’s laughstastic Mother’s Day-themed episode, Liz could’ve been Buzz Aldrin’s son…which means her mom, too, had a thing for space men.

I love that the fascination runs in the family. Also...what?

So maybe, just maybe, Damon will be playing the man of Liz’s dreams, Astronaut Mike Dexter. His costume for the episode sure points that way.

Update: Turns out Damon did not play Astronaut Mike Dexter, after all.
