Which university did Toofer Spurlock attend on 30 Rock?

Toofer Spurlock attended Harvard University on 30 Rock.

James “Toofer” Spurlock is described as a proud African-American Harvard University alumnus and a writer for TGS with Tracy Jordan. His education is not just background decoration: the show repeatedly uses his Harvard identity as a source of pride, insecurity, and comic conflict with the other writers.

In “Secrets and Lies,” Frank Rossitano and Toofer feud over Toofer’s status as a Harvard alumnus. The joke works because Toofer treats his education as evidence of sophistication, while Frank regards it as an opportunity to puncture his self-importance. Jack’s explanation of Toofer’s nickname also links the character’s Harvard background to his Black identity.

Toofer’s Harvard affiliation is sometimes confused with other prestigious universities mentioned by 30 Rock’s characters, but the series is specific. He is also associated with the Harvard Krokodiloes, the university’s a cappella group. Columbia, Princeton, and Yale are plausible-sounding distractors, not Toofer’s school.
