"It's Never Too Late for Now" is the fifteenth episode of the fifth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 95th overall episode of the series. It was directed by John Riggi, and written by Vali Chandrasekaran. The episode originally aired on NBC in the United States on February 15, 2011. Guest stars in this episode include Eion Bailey, Adriane Lenox, and Sue Galloway.
Following her breakup with her pilot boyfriend Carol (Matt Damon), Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) announces her intention to give up on love. Instead, she will become a spinster. To demonstrate this, she has bought a cat and joined the senior center book club, which is reading Murder on the Orient Express. Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) is concerned and decides to take Liz to a bar called "Canal Yards Project." She wants to show Liz that there are still viable men out there. Liz is uninterested until she meets an attractive man named Anders (Eion Bailey), with whom she winds up having a one-night stand.
Meanwhile, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) has difficulty negotiating a salary with his baby's night nurse, Sherry (Adriane Lenox), whose approach to negotiation consists of eating a tangerine silently until he gives in, which completely throws him off. At TGS, Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander) discovers that Pete Hornberger (Scott Adsit) used to be in Loverboy, so the pair form a new band of their own and write a song entitled "It's Never Too Late for Now." During the song's recording process, arguments erupt between Pete and Frank, particularly when Frank's girlfriend Yuki (an obvious Yoko Ono parallel) becomes involved.
Finally, Jack decides to use his night nurse's bargaining techniques in a business meeting with Kabletown. He achieves great success in doing so. Meanwhile, Frank and Pete put their arguments aside. Liz arrives back at TGS the following morning and has decided to not to give up on love after all. However, in true Agatha Christie fashion, she deduces that there was more to the night than there seemed at first. It is revealed the entire evening was orchestrated by her friends, that "Canal Yards Project" is an anagram of "Tracy Jordan's Place," and Anders was a Swissprostitute recommended by Martha Stewart. Despite this, Liz chooses to accept a simpler explanation for the evening and rejects spinsterhood, believing that she will find love again.
