30 Rock Star’s Mariah Carey Frisbee Smack

March 11th, 2008

One of the stars of television hit show ’30 Rock’, Jack McBrayer, has revealed that he accidentally smacked Mariah Carey in the face with a frisbee while the pair filmed the music video for her new single, ‘Touch My Body’.

McBrayer stars as a computer nerd hired to fix her computers in the music clip, but when she answers the door in a skimpy outfit, McBrayer daydreams a life in which he’s her leading man.

"I got a phone call on a Thursday night saying, ‘Would you be available to get on a plane tomorrow morning and come be in Mariah Carey’s video?’ " McBrayer tells MTV.com.  "I’m always worried now that somebody is pranking me, so at first I was very leery. But when I heard it was legit, and then later on we got a phone call from Brett Ratner, who directed it. I was like, ‘This is either a very elaborate prank, or this is the real deal.’ "

A scene that ended up on the cutting room floor was one where the pair were playing frisbee.

"We’re out in the backyard playing ultimate Frisbee and stuff, and we’re given very loose directions: ‘Play around!’ ‘Go fetch!’ ", McBrayer explains. "So I go to throw the frisbee to Mariah Carey, and she’s lip-syncing and she’s spinning around. And she spins around right around the time it leaves my hands. So by the time she spins back around — bonk, right in her face. I threw a frisbee in Mariah Carey’s face!"

McBrayer thought that his time with Carey would come to an abrupt end – "Her bodyguard came over and set me straight", he joked – but the singer was very gracious.

"If you notice, from there on out for most of the video, we’re just kind of handing the frisbee back and forth to each other," McBrayer says.
