Jack McBrayer appears on Episode 2 — but does he win? Spoilers!
For the ultimate surprise, 30 Rock actor Jack McBrayer appears in the second episode as a contestant, and let's just say, he is as amateur as they come.
"I have very limited baking experience," Jack says on the show. "My kitchen, for the most part, is decorative."
So, does Jack win his episode? Unfortunately, the star's candy apple aliens and Loch Ness monster cake were not enough for him to earn the gold glitter chef hat or be crowned a winner. However, he tried his best and that's all we can ask for.
Watch all six seasons of Nailed It! on Netflix now.
