Alec Baldwin will be filling some of his free time now that 30 Rock is over by hosting a weekly talk show on MSNBC. Up Late w/Alec Baldwin will air on Friday nights at 10pm starting next month.
Announcing the series, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said, “I’ve been talking with Alec for a while and can’t wait to bring his personality and eclectic interests to MSNBC. He’s got such passion for ideas and what’s going on in the world – he’s going to be a great addition to our line-up.”
“After two seasons of my WNYC podcast, I’ve developed a fondness for hosting a show that involved talking with smart, talented and engaging people in every imaginable field. I’m grateful to MSNBC for helping me bring a similar show to television,” said Baldwin.
Baldwin’s WNYC podcast “Here’s the Thing” launched in 2011 featuring interviews with artists, politicians, and other newsmakers. The two-time Emmy, three-time Golden Globe, eight-time Screen Actors Guild Award winner has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has appeared in more than three dozen movies.
