Word comes from senior sources at MSNBC that Alec Baldwin (seven seasons for NBC's 30 Rock; frequent host of SNL) will get his own weekly show on the progressive news channel.
From Mediaite:
According to our source, the so far untitled show will air Fridays at 10 p.m. ET and will feature a large dose of Baldwin’s outspoken liberal politics.
The MSNBC 10 p.m. hour is currently occupied by Lawrence O’Donnell, but only Monday through Thursday. As such, this new Baldwin show will not replace any of the network’s primetime talk shows — just the Lockup prison documentary series that airs Friday evenings.
Our source insists its a done deal but there is no question MSNBC is not quite prepared for an announcement. Yet.
For a bit of foreshadowing, perhaps, check out the video below with Alec Baldwin reading teasers for Lawrence O'Donnell in May of 2012. Perhaps the idea for his own show has been in development going all the way back to last spring?
