Francis Frank Rossitano (Judah Friedlander; Fred Armisen in select scenes of Live from Studio 6H ) is a writer at TGS of Sicilian descent. After Liz, Frank is the most prominently-featured and prolific writer of the show-within-a-show. Frank is habitually slovenly and childish; he lives with his mother and is an aficionado of video games, comic books and figurines, and pornography. He wears a variety of trucker hats with humorous phrases (which Friedlander also wears in real life) and large, thick-lensed glasses. Frank delivers most lines in a deadpan style, and is often shown to be something of a perverse character with an obvious interest in the opposite gender (although in one episode Frank questions his sexuality after meeting a physically attractive man named Jamie), Frank appears to have an understanding of popular culture and sometimes displays surprising amounts of intelligence. Frank is allergic to peanuts. In Audition Day it is revealed that he is a standup comedian.Friedlander says he makes the hats for his character himself, using phrases he invents; in episode S03E18 where Liz is forced to stay home, one of her final requests before being forced out of the building was to know what Frank's hat said. Frank first started wearing the hats at age 14; his eighth-grade class photo shows him in a hat reading My First Hat .Frank was raised largely by his mother Sylvia after his father, a lawyer for the mafia, went into the Witness Protection Program. Sylvia's fear for her son led him to leave law school at her insistence and enter comedy. In Goodbye, My Friend, Jack Donaghy learns of Frank's legal aspirations and offers him a scholarship to Columbia University Law School, but reneges on his offer after Sylvia warns him of the danger in which a law career would place Frank due to his family's mafia connections. Frank pursues women frequently, usually older, psychologically damaged, or physically unattractive women he considers low-hanging fruit . Though it is hinted in the episode Jackie Jormp Jomp that him and Cerie have a secret relationship. The great love of Frank's life occurred at the age of 14, where he had an affair with his middle-school teacher, Lynn Onkmann. She was sent to prison for the offense, but he remained in love with her and after her release in the 5th Season of 30 Rock, they reconciled and began a relationship over the objections of pretty much everyone else.
