NEW YORK, July 30 (UPI) -- The cast of the U.S. comedy series "30 Rock" is planning to perform a special live episode in New York's storied Studio 8H, NBC said Friday.

The staging is to take place Oct. 14, said Angela Bromstad, president of prime time entertainment at NBC and Universal Media Studios.

"We've had great success with live episodes in the past, both in a creative sense and in the ratings," Bromstad said in a statement. "I can't imagine a series more suited to do an incredible live episode, thanks to its many cast, writers and producers, who hail from TV's most renowned live series, 'SNL.'"

Studio 8H, located at Manhattan's Rockefeller Center, is the home of NBC's long-running comedy show, "Saturday Night Live."
