Kenneth Ellen, also referred to as Kenneth the Page, is a fictional character in the NBC sitcom "30 Rock". He is portrayed by Jack McBrayer. Kenneth, who appears to be in his late teens to early twenties, currently works as part of the NBC Page Program.

[edit] Character Traits/Distinctions

Kenneth is seen as somehwhat of an awkward character, even called "a weird kid" by Conan O'Brien in one episode. Most of his comedy is drawn from that. He is always smiling, excited and happy to do his job, which most people do not understand why, as they see it as a bad job.

He acts as Tracy Jordan's personal assistant, even so far as to get him his lunch (nachos--from Yankee Stadium). He is sometimes seen trying to impress or emulate Tracy, even wearing Tracy's chains when he wins them in a card game.

As seen in the episode Blind Date, Kenneth is a very good poker player because nobody can read him, because, according to Pete and Toofer, "there's nothing to read". He was almost fired by Jack Donaghy because of this, but he was not actually fired as Jack revealed he just wanted to let him know that "he could fire him".

Kenneth is also a very good tap dancer, as seen in the episode Tracy Does Conan when he pretends to be interviewed by Conan O'Brien, until it is revealed he is alone in his studio.
