My mother-in-law (we call her TiVo) said she was watching 30 Rock last week…(just one of the many, many shows she records, hence the name TiVo) and told me about a scene where Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) explains Six Sigma to his staff writers. Well, I went a looking for it and thanks to YouTube here’s the clip:
I found the clip very funny, especially the line about the Sigma 6 GI Joe. So now we’re seeing Six Sigma references in pop culture entertainment! As you might know NBC is owned by GE, whose former CEO, Jack Welch, made Six Sigma famous -- so the humorous riff on Six Sigma is quite fitting. 30 Rock Six Sigma Links Tina takes on corporate America, Fortune, September 7, 2006.

6 Sigma is dead at GE. 30 Rock spoofing 6 Sigma is an indication of 6 Sigmas lack of credibility at GE. |
