**New York, NY** – Cristin Milioti, known for her role as Mafia donna Sofia Falcone in the HBO Max series *The Penguin*, recently reflected on her memorable breakout role as the unforgettable “Sexy Baby” Abby Flynn on the acclaimed NBC sitcom *30 Rock*.

Milioti’s appearance on *30 Rock* in season five’s “TGS Hates Women” cemented her as a rising star. She played Abby, a new writer hired to prove that showrunner Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) doesn’t hate women. However, Abby’s exaggerated “sexy baby” persona, complete with a baby-talk voice and suggestive double entendres, quickly clashed with Liz’s sensibilities.

The episode took a surprising turn when Liz discovered Abby’s true identity – a stand-up comedian named Abby Grossman who was using the “sexy baby” act as a defense mechanism against a stalker ex. The confrontation ended with Abby accusing Liz of hating women and storming off, leaving Liz grappling with the complexities of female representation.

Milioti, who was a huge fan of the show, described her experience on set as “surreal,” remembering being “starstruck” by the show’s cast and crew. “Everyone was so incredibly kind to me,” she said.

The “Sexy Baby” character became a pop culture phenomenon, with Taylor Swift even referencing it in a song.

Milioti continues to build her impressive resume, currently starring in *The Penguin*, a spinoff from Matt Reeves’ *The Batman*. The show, which also features Colin Farrell, Rhenzy Feliz, and Mark Strong, airs Sundays on HBO and streams on Max.
