Alec Baldwin Late Night Host

[Dandy Jack]

The New York Times is reporting that NBC is in early talks with Alec Baldwin about potentially taking over the 1:35 AM half-hour Late Night Hosting job!

Baldwin already has proven his ability as a comedy performer with a record 16 stints as host of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Additionally, he’s been honing his skills as interviewer with his weekly podcast Here’s The Thing, in which he interviews famous people.

And taking on a half-hour late-late night program won’t be as time consuming as hosting an hour long show like Tonight or Late Night, Baldwin could still take acting jobs.


Baldwin's play for a Late Night hosting gig is backed by Lorne Michaels…
He backed the deal for Baldwin’s 30 Rock Deal.

Michaels already runs SNL and will Executive Produce The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. He may also keep his grip on Late Night as well,

Because...

His protege Seth Meyers may fit into Late night somewhere.

Late Night Could improve...

16 shots at hosting on Saturday Night live cannot be ignored.

Dandy Jack!
