Oh boy, if any of you guys thought that Alec "Jack Donaghy" Baldwin was done being nuckin' futs, after, um, everything he's ever said in the last few years to make you think he doesn't deserve being on what is probably the finest situation comedy since two guys and a gal met a pizza place... well, A) don't you look like a jackass?, and B) hey, maybe you should check out this week's New Yorker.
“On a television show, precise acting isn’t the order of the day,” he said to me. “It’s a sitcom. The idea is to hit certain beats, and we do it cleverly. But, you do a television show, you become a pastry chef. I’m a pastry chef now; I’m not the big chef at the big restaurant. I’m not Daniel”—a brief pause, then he jutted out his lips in a way that was familiar from his movies, and almost shouted the next word—“Boulud. You know?” He laughed.
OK, so, yeah, Baldwin, you could have spent the '90s redefining what an action hero/matinee idol means instead of angrily banging Kim Basinger, and yeah, it must be kind of a letdown being on a half-hour comedy program now instead of picking up your second imaginary Oscar or whatever, but you know what? Baldwin? To this, we quote the great Jesse Thorn of "The Sound Of Young America" and "Jordan, Jesse, Go!," who once wisely advised: "BALDWIN: DO NOT FUCK THIS UP FOR ALL OF US."
