Not just you. I did as well, and apparently it’s a common misidentification / urban legend. This Everything I Remember from 30 Rock post from Reddit, years ago, also makes the same conclusion.
I grew up watching American TV, so I do catch a lot of the cameos. But yeah, I definitely miss a lot of jokes and references because I am not too familiar with American celebrities outside of the TV shows that I watched.
That is a neat image! There are a number of things I did not recognize:
Top left, between Paul and Moonvest: Who is that? The hat makes me think of Tracy dressed all pretentiously while going for the O in his EGOT, but that does not look like him
Top center, between Jackie Jormp Jomp and the pager: Who is that? It looks a bit like Rachel Dratch, but there are no obvious features to suggest that
Top center, between Oprah and Thomas Jefferson: Is that Jack on the morning after Kenneth’s party?
Center left, between the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine and the Tampa Royal Academy of Dramatic Tricks degree: Who is that?
Center center, between Conan and Lance Drake Mandrell: Whose eyes are those? It makes me think of the closeup of Liz Taylor’s eyes, but it doesn’t really resemble Dratch
Center right, between Muffin Top and Hey Beantown!: Is that suppossed to be a pair of tweezers holding the troll doll that Dr. Spaceman put in Tracy’s nose? It looks like an olympic torch with a flaming baby head
Bottom left, the blue F logo: That remimds me of the Facebook logo, but 30 Rock’s version of that was YouFace, which I assume does not use an F as its logo
Bottom center, beneath the text “Gangway for foot cycle!”: Is that supposed to be Wesley Snipes’s British teeth?
Def looks like one of the characters Dratch played, but I can’t place her. Barbara Walters maybe?
On second thought, I think that is probably Hazel. The face does not really match, but the hair definitely does. Also, the only characters Dratch portrays that have hair that is that voluminous are Barbra Walters (though that is blonde) and Liz Taylor (which I doubt this is).

Yeah I didn’t know either, assumed it was Braff.
On the other hand I think there are probably still some cameos where I don’t know the famous person so it goes right over my head.

Tracy when he was trying to EGOT and got all serious and refused to do comedy

I think so?
Josh I think.
Liz’s epic eye roll eyes
Yes, and I thought the same thing lol
Not sure, but I feel like it’s a reference we’re both missing.
I believe so
@meatcat@dubvee.org Any idea on #7?
It’s the F train!

Good catch! That one had me stumped as well.
Right, Josh! I forgot about that guy. You think that’s a good sign?
Oh, specifically, it’s Josh when his mom did his hair and they called him Dr. Haircut.

Honestly, I have no idea. I’m stumped on this one too.
