What is the surname of Cerie, Liz Lemon's assistant?

Cerie, Liz Lemon’s assistant on 30 Rock, has the surname Xerox.

Cerie Xerox is portrayed by Katrina Bowden as a young, beautiful, laid-back assistant working on TGS with Tracy Jordan. Her surname is one of the show’s deliberately comic details: she is described as an heiress of the Xerox family, turning a familiar corporate name into an absurdly glamorous character backstory.

The name is easy to miss because the series usually calls her simply Cerie. It was also revealed in a scene cut from the broadcast version of “SeinfeldVision,” so viewers who only remember the aired episodes may not encounter the surname directly. The character’s first name is pronounced like “Syrie,” another small joke that can create confusion in written references.

Cerie’s assistant role drives many workplace plots. She often misunderstands Liz’s instructions, makes blunt observations about age and appearance, and has plans that extend well beyond television, including marrying rich and designing handbags. “Xerox” is her canonical surname; Hooper is associated with Kabletown executive Hank Hooper, while Kabletown and Kodak are unrelated distractors.
