Lutz from '30 Rock' Gets the Spotlight He Deserves (Sorta)

Every day The Atlantic Wire highlights the video clips that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention.

We realize there's only so much time one can spend in a day watching new trailers, viral video clips, and shaky cell phone footage of people arguing on live television. This is why every day The Atlantic Wire highlights the videos that truly earn your five minutes (or less) of attention. Today:

Well we hyped it, but John Lutz better known as the lovable Lutz on 30 Rock is finally getting the airtime he deserves. Sure, he has to split it with the scene-stealing Bill Hader in a sort-of forced skit about triplets, but hey, the whole thing is worth an afternoon giggle or three:

And to end you Monday, check out this rescue of puppies. Because we don't like when bad stuff happens, we'll spoil it right now and tell you that the two dogs rescued out of the burning building are miraculously revived. Whew, no need to worry!  Happy Endings here. But as The Daily What mentions, this clip is actually from the documentary Burn--which still could use your support:
