As to the plans of where the talker would live on the network, rumblings are that it could be in a late night slot following Jimmy Kimmel Live, replacing thenews series, Nightline. There is also talk that it could wind-up as part of ABC’s daytime lineup which houses:The View, The Chew, and GH.
Baldwin is a three-time Emmy winner, and got his start as Billy Aldrich on the NBC soap, The Doctors.
So, what do you think of an Alec Baldwin talker, in particular if it should land in the day-part on ABC? Comment below!

I’m with the show in Daytime, as long as it doesn’t get General Hospital canceled…
I’m fine with the show in Daytime, as long as it doesn’t get General Hospital canceled! I don’t trust TPTB at ABC! I haven’t forgotten how they virtually canceled All My Children and One Life To Live simultaneously!
Great! Like Alec Baldwin especially on SNL !!!
No, no, no, no, no, no!
I agree. What a horrible choice for a host.
All talk is putting me to sleep…we need another talk show like i need another hole in my head and we all know there is no more room for yet another hole!!!-lol
Uh no offense against Baldwin but do we really need another talk show?
So would he still be on SNL?
I think Alec Baldwin could do both his talk show on ABC and SNL on NBC because i don’t think there will be any direct conflict.However him been on SNL could get people tuning into his talk show and vice versa.
Or not….
Enough with the talk shows already!
Okay, so we already have THREE liberal nighttime hosts, Colbert more than the other two who hate our country and spew venom at our president, we have the Yentas on the View who despise ANYTHING positive Donald does, SNL is RUINED by the HATE that is broadcasted LIVE every week or so, lead by Baldwin, now your going to hand him a talk show? I know, I dont have to watch any of this BUT where is the show that supports the conservative views? Where is the live comedy show that is funny and not mean? Where is the talk… Read more »
Where is the show that supports conservative views? It’s called Fox News.
Actually, Fox regularly features contributors with perspectives from both sides of the political spectrum…which in and of itself makes it a unique news network! But having said that, I believe Timmm was referring to all the other tv genres that provide precious little to no recognition or representation of the conservative values/opinions held by roughly half of the country who comprises a vast segment of any potential viewing audience. The personal ideals of such individuals are either completely ignored or mercilessly bashed because they don’t comport with those espoused in liberal Hollywood. I don’t necessarily desire to see “equal time”… Read more »
CNN and MSNBC also regularly feature guests that represent both sides, so Fox News is hardly unique in that area. Late night talk show hosts and comedians have been lampooning the president for years, be it Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, and so on. They made a cottage industry of telling Bill Clinton jokes, and many do to this day, and as a proud liberal, I had absolutely no problem with that. We didn’t go around whining and telling everyone how persecuted we were. It was fair game then, just like Donald Trump is fair game now. And particularly nowadays, when… Read more »
Oh Brian, you got me!
Touche’, Timmmbo! This guy is a no-talent hack who is only being rewarded for espousing his far-left political views and performing that nauseating SNL parody which mercilessly mocks our president in a totally one-note, unrealistic manner—Quite frankly, Darrell Hammond did a much better and more honest job of portraying Trump in a way that wasn’t just a blatantly mean-spirited hatchet job on the NYC real estate legend who became president. Needless to say, neither of those things makes him remotely qualified for hosting a talk show. (Have you ever heard the audio tape of his really lame attempt at launching… Read more »
Excellent post…
Baldwin is a nasty guy. He isnt funny as Trump, he is mean and classless! You are right, Hammond was much better. Baldwin is a terrible husband and an horrible “Father!” BUT, in Hollywood, if you are liberal, you are dismissed!
For me, mean and classless is a candidate that does a mocking impression of a handicapped reporter in front of a group of his laughing supporters…
Shay…EXACTLY!!!!! Personality-wise…give me Darrell Hammond over that Alec Baldwin dude any day. Back in the day, to me, Darrell’s impersonation of Bill Clinton was TRULY LOL FUNNY!!!!! Yep.
Happy Holidays, Shay.
@Jaybird….Thank you, right back at ya….and Merry Christmas!!!! You know, when we speak of Clinton impersonators, the one who stood out for me was the tragically departed Phil Hartman….he truly captured the deeply sleazy, lascivious nature and good ‘ol boy insincerity of 42. Those particular qualities jumped out front and center to me from the very first time I set eyes on the genuine article, and Hartman just absolutely nailed them…it was uncanny! However, Hammond quite capably stepped up to the challenge of replacing his SNL counterpart in the role, albeit in a far less sinister and more comedic, tongue-in-cheek… Read more »
I am not a Trump fan, but Dio mio, enough. As a democrat I am beginning to deplore my own party. I have eyes and ears and a brain, a fair one. I do not like how negative both the media and liberals are towards Trump. He was condemned and sentenced without a trial. I did not appreciate the lewd remarks, but the people elected him. Let him rule. It is not forever. He deserves as much as Clinton? Bush, Reagan and Obama, the fake, scaredy cat peace-seeker. Even as a democrat I can see what good he is doing.… Read more »
@Francesca Bruno…Molte grazie for the many kind words and thoughtfully-expressed sentiments you’ve posted since your recent arrival here at this website! Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo!!!!
@Timmm.
Ha!!!! And you SLAY me, my T…..
Amen, Shay. You said it. Thanks.
And thank you, Gloria!
I was just about to write, that I love Alec, and he would be a fun addition; however, Alec, keep your political opinions to yourself while hosting!
And when was the last time THAT happened???? You probably would have to go back decades to the years AB had a role in Knots Landing—which was the only point where I could just about stand him!!! (He was also then briefly engaged in real-life to GH’s—and later, Northern Exposure’s—Janine Turner! What a lucky escape for that lovely lady…she really dodged quite a bullet when they broke up!)
IMPOSSIBLE!
Now THIS is a funny comment. You Timmm should be a comedian.
Why? When AJ has the best jokes
I know…its like all talk shows today is about some agenda…i miss the days of Merv Griffen and Dinah Shore!!!
you said it Jim, it’s all politics now and there’s no class these days.
Jim, even Johnny Carson. He made fun of Ford and Reagan but it was light hearted and not mean spirited.
There’s no class these days is the apt description for the current President of the United States! Forget talk shows and comedians; it’s amazing how supporters can see ANY class in Trump other crude, rude, vulgar….an infant who spends more time tweeting than reading, who sides with neo-nazis, who sides with an accused pedophile against the women who accused him…it’s a freaking upside-down country right now! Abnormal and amoral is the new norm!
Bring on Alec and others to help us laugh through this twisted reality!
Even Jay Leno, uber-lib that he is, managed to be pretty fair-handed when it came to lampooning politicians of both parties. As far as I’m concerned, the only really notable exception to that rule was when he quipped about Dick Cheney’s medical condition, since heart problems are no laughing matter for anyone. That was definitely not cool….
Hate our country? That’s quite an exaggeration.
Shouldn’t surprise you that a comment like that would be made, Steve. One thinks that if you don’t respect a man who slid into the presidency with no qualifications….and I’ll curb the rest of my “descriptives”…then you must be anti-American. It’s just part of the delusional thinking…like voting for a man in Alabama who is an accused pedophile. They vote for THAT man for office, LOL, but Alec is, in their eyes, unqualified to host a talk show.
THANK YOU TIM…SO WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree with everything you said Tim. It’s so tired that I can’t watch any talk show hosts and many shows anymore. Days of our lives is the only show I watch on network TV.
Well said…
Disagreeing with the president or the policies of his administration does not equal “hating our country.” It’s called democracy. If people want to live in a country where everyone publicly agrees with the leadership, move to a dictatorship or police state. As for where there is non-political comedy, that would be Jimmy Fallon’s show. And his ratings are way down because of it. There have plenty of articles published on the subject.
Just as disagreeing with the previous occupant and the policies of his administration did not equal “racism,” but the left never failed to conveniently pin that term on each and every criticism the political right offered up.
Fallon does do political humor but much less than the other two and you are right, his ratings do suffer. It shows you how mean and angry Americans can be.
clairificaton..those who didn’t support him…(President Obama)
I’ll pass. Don’t watch late night shows and I am more interested in a decent soap opera during the day.
It really doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care to see another talk show. The only thing I watch on abc is GH .
ABC has been telling us fans of One Life To Live and All My Children that there is no room for their re-boots on daytime! So now, there is suddenly room for Alec Baldwin’s show on daytime??? BS.
Has ABC said there’s no room for OLTL & AMC? Or have they been silent because they canceled these shows and have no interest in bringing them back? Not trying to be mean, but ABC will never add another soap again and unfortunately GH will be in the soap graveyard too one day.
According to various reports from the “Save AMC & OLTL” Facebook page, ABC is “actively searching for an online partner” to re-boot OLTL and AMC because ABC only owns three hours of the daytime slots (The View, The Chew, and General Hospital).
It’s way more expensive to air a soap opera than a talk show. That’s why they went with talk shows, cooking shows, etc. And that’s the same reason those soaps probably won’t ever come back. Unless they decide to change the format, cut them down to half hour format. At this point, they’re not lucrative for the networks. That’s why the ones that remain are holding on by a thread.
I don’t believe that he have a spot during the daytime hours because all three of those shows The View ,The Chew and General Hospital are all hit shows. I can not see ABC getting rid of any one of those shows to take a chance on an hour with him. He’s funny but that’s all. I know I would not be interested in looking at a new talk show. So a good spot for him would be after Jimmy Kimmel and before my early morning news.
There is the 2-3pm hour. The network gave that hour back to the affiliates. In the Philadelphia area we see Millionaire and Right This Minute in that hour.
Syndicated time is tough to get back from affiliates. Affiliates need that time so they can make money. And in a good chunk of the country GH is on at 2PM (with syndicated fare on at 3PM)
ABC doesn’t have to take the time back from affiliates. The network has a syndication group which released the Katie Couric and Tyra Banks debacles. If the Baldwin show goes daytime, it could be syndicated and carried by all the ABC owned/operated stations.
I would say he should do the show in character as Emperor Cheeto, but Comedy Central already did that show.
I am just as dissatisfied as the next person regarding the state of our country, but I see this as just another platform for Baldwin to spout off about Trump like he does on SNL.
We do not need ANOTHER talk show. All it is, is talk, talk, talk. Very few have remained beyond one year. The most recent is the Harry Connick, Jr. show because it is more of a variety show and he doesn’t get political. I see this Alec Baldwin show as a huge mistake.
No thanks.
Not interested. Put it on late at night, if at all. Yawn.
I love Alec Baldwin portrayal as Tump’ spot on.
But as talk show host, dummo ..
At least he won’t be seated in the Republican partly as an accused child molester, so yah a talk show host could work for him, would have to see it before I could judge it.
but daaaammm he does a great Trump and I would not be happy if SNL lost him because of ABC ..
I do not care about daytime tv other than soaps..
Whatever else is on daytime I would never watch..
1( who on earth even watches daytime, If some do they need help LOL
I watch Y&R-GH at night usually around 11-midnight..
I would commit myself before watching daytime tv —
I watch Both soaps in a bit over an hour, total time.
I consider my soaps Nighttime as I have never watched a soap during the day on daytime tv.
su0000, I just want to thank you for your reply below, and I want you to know how much I enjoy your posts and respect your opinions, even when we might disagree.
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones… 🙂
LOL…a lot of people will protest Baldwin but vote for Moore. That makes sense, doesn’t it? Not. Frightening? Yes.
This will probably be the only thing I say on this. I’m working hard in my own little corner of the world to enjoy the holiday season in spite of what’s going on in politics and sex scandals. Really don’t want another talk show on daytime or nighttime…I don’t care who it is. And I don’t watch much daytime except for soaps. But I do find it amusing that some who profess to not like what they call liberal news and programming, or chapter verse on Alex sure do seem to spend a lot of their time watching or listening… Read more »
correction…”by actions and words”
You’re absolutely right, Rebecca. Sadly, the current U.S. president has done many frightening things and said (or tweeted) many frightening things.
My thoughts on this news are decidedly complicated… I am on board with those who say we don’t need another talk show. We don’t… I am a fan of Alex Baldwin’s portrayal of the current U.S. president on Saturday Night Live. I like Baldwin’s politics as well, but I don’t think much of him as a person. I remember the nasty phone message he left for his own daughter years ago… And once again, here at the Fairman site, politics rears its ugly head, and I feel compelled to weigh in… For those who feel that there are too many… Read more »
Ditto, ditto, ditto Jamesj75! It truly is astounding. To think that there are people who actually ever supported him, let alone still do, is unfathomable. And he endorsed an accused pedophile just to add on to his already stellar (I say that with full sarcasm) record on morality. (Let us not forget there are good people in the neo-nazis). At least the accused in Hollywood (who are dropping like flies) were either fired or quit, embarrassed, mortified…but they admitted their guilt! Moore is protesting…he’s “innocent” a “victim”. Can’t you just scream and shake your fists waiting for this surreal madness… Read more »
Thanks for the backup, my dear Friend Rebecca… I was awaiting slings and arrows — and they may come — but so nice to hear from you! 🙂 As always, you make terrific points! And your first paragraph, wherein you address the pedophile endorsement and the shout-out to white supremacists, is spot on! That’s one thing I left out in my original post: the way the current U.S. president gives these continual “dog whistles” to white supremacists and racists. Of course, as you also allude, he did the same thing during the campaign. Also during the campaign, among all the… Read more »
Hi James… We share much of the same reaction…horror, disbelief, disgust, etc…regarding this “presidency.” But I disagree in terms of party and certain reactions. It’s primarily the Republicans, the conservative, right-leaning demographic that is the least tolerant to alternative lifestlyes…except, it seems…pedophelia and the sexual abuse of women. Since voting for Trump AFTER hearing his tape where he admits to grabbing women and gloating that if you have power they “let you do whatever you want”…and voting in a congressman who bodyslammed to the ground to many who support an accused pedophile…there just seems to be a whole lot of… Read more »
Pray, the USA never losses our freedoms–
The five freedoms guaranteed by the 1st Amendment are ‘
speech,
press,
religion,
assembly and petition.
Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as freedom of expression.
I’ll weigh in on Roy Moore – have to
he’s running our government
I vote for reason – rationale – reality
etc
when they say – i’ll vote for Moore because he’s republican and keep the GOP in the running
because of their decision
it’s a majority not the floodgates
we vote again in 2018
People – unite – your word… keep within yourself first

@James…I would be greatly surprised if you were to get any “slings and arrows,” given you do have friends “on the other side” who accord you the same affection and respect you offer to us, and I deeply appreciate you for that. Whilst I vehemently disagree with you in terms of politics, I still find you to be a delightful poster who possesses the maturity and decency to not personally denigrate those who view the current administration in a totally different light. Although you always state your case passionately and forcefully, it is done without malice toward other individuals here… Read more »
@Shay…And yet you personally denigrate other posters on this site…delighted in an onsite argument here which started years ago, feel gays shouldn’t be in the military, don’t see any problem with a president who defended the alt right and encourage group bullying here. You denigrate actors you don’t like, mock them for how they look, how old they are and how they dress…and throw “slings and arrows within messages for all who care to read. Huh. Imagine that!
Speaking of denigrating, Shay, he or she of many names turns around and calls others crazy and downgrades their lifestyle. Isn’t there an American saying? Something about a kettle and a pot?He or she of many colours impersonates a diversity of both men and women with the same spiel. He or she is the typical man or woman without discretion, or country. Our side? I am a democrat, by definition. There is a huge difference between democrats and liberals who take the democratic ideals of equality, freedom and truth and grossly spin it to the extreme. Therein lies the problem.… Read more »
Shay, first, I can ‘t thank you enough for your thoughtful, respectful reply as well as your generous comments. I am truly not worthy… I so much like you and respect you and your opinions. I feel the same way about other dear friends here, whether they share your political bent or mine. I will say it again: there are truly great people on both sides. I don’t like to see any animosity here, and I won’t get involved in any conflicts.

Thanks for your reply, Shay!
I’m okay with Alec Baldwin having a talk show on ABC as long as General Hospital stays on the air too.However i think Alec Baldwin’s talk show should be on late night and maybe from time to time do prime time shows.
As long as ABC doesn’t cancel General Hospital for yet another talk show. Retire The View!!! When Barbara Walters retired they should have retired the show as well.
So Let me get this straight.. Alec Baldwin is up for his own show.. I man that spouts rascist and gay slurs all the time beats Kim B and calls his daughter a fat pig. So being liberal gets him a day time talk show. SMH!!!
@Dave…That seems to be the most important prerequisite for any job in the “entertainment” (and I use that term loosely…) sector these days. All I want to know is this proposed travesty set to include the partisan bully’s omnipregnant spouse doing her signature daily yoga poses for all and sundry??? That would be sooo cute….NOT!
Grazie, Shay. Riverso gli auguri e felicitazioni. Altrettanto.
No, being popular gets him a daytime talk show. The fact that someone thinks there’s money to be made off his show is what gets him on the air. TV is all about making money!
@Dave… so let me get this straight? A man who said he can grab pus..y whenever he wants because they “let you”, can mock a disabled man, can say those in the military who got captured aren’t “heroes” because he considers those who didn’t get caught heroes…the man who calls women who are overweight fat pigs, ugly, losers., a man who calls others cowards yet got himself out of serving…the man who finds good people in the despicable alt-right can be elected President of the United States (albeit, thankfully, not by the majority of Americans) and you’re angry that a… Read more »
I guess he saw how well Megyn Kelly is doing and how well Katie Couric and Meredith Viera did with their talk shows.
LOL, I am old enough to remember his Billy Aldrich character on The Doctors!
Me, too!
Me,three!
Based on this article I don’t think the kind of show he would do would be appropriate for daytime audience—
ABC only has three hours available during the daytime since they foolishly, under Brian Frons, gave an hour back to affiliates in order to make room on the owned and operated stations for the syndicated ‘Katie’. So if this is greenlit for daytime, that would mean the ax for either ‘The View’, ‘The Chew’, or GH.
I only have four words for ABC…. “ONE LIFE TO LIVE”
I’d love to see Alec as a late night host…he can be much more creative/unretricted in that time spot than daytime. The man is hilarious and chock full of personality!
I agree… I recall him speaking about his time on “The Doctors”
wow.. as much as it’s possible to discuss “behind the scenes” at all these “respective” shows
he made it clear in as few words as possible that their was a lot of “drama” at all times
one tryst after another, partay
clearly – times have changed ?
PS: he has a respect for the genre… he speaks so well of Knots Landing
you know.. if it’s in daytime… would he … prop daytime serial ?
he loves to speak about the art of acting… and it would be a boon for
something light, real, and give credit to.
Let him stay with NBC but don’t take General Hospital away
No thank you. I don’t watch talk shows. I don’t watch news. I do watch General Hospital every day. I do not watch any other ABC shows. There is enough anger and anxiety in the world on both sides. That doesn’t work for me.
Why when all of the celebrity talk shows fail?
And he’s such a hypocrite making fun of the President while Alec himself admits he’s treated women horribly most of his life. Have we forgotten the voicemail he left calling his teenage daughter a disgusting pig????
I’m sure there is a lot of name calling, arguing and out-of-control behavior behind closed doors in many families. Alec’s known to have a temper and he admitted he was wrong (in the midst of an ugly divorce and despair that he felt Kim B was turning his daughter against him and telling her to avoid his calls). However, his ex-wife Kim Bassinger’s father said he loved Alec and it was a shame he had anger issues…emphasizing they weren’t physical but verbal (with his family.) Does that make it right or do I condone it? No. But it was a… Read more »
ummm..
Alec is an actor..
He is paid to portray Trump in a comic satire way..
The words he speaks are not his words, the writers of SNL get the praise for the scripts.
Again, Rebecca, you make great points! I, too, disparaged Baldwin over that voicemail. Thanks for putting things in perspective. Take care, Friend! 🙂
I agree with you, @Alan. It is a disgrace to mock anyone (even the President) who looks or is different from the ‘accepted’ norm, whether the person is gay, has a handicap, different colour or religion. This is exactly the reason I find anyone who sees himself as superior are bigots. Bigotry has many faces, not just in political views. However, those same people hide behind their phony selves. It is a facade, it is hypocrisy. I clearly recall Lauder speechifying on correct and proper behavior towards women in any environment as he interviewed Bill O’Reilly. I loathe Bill, but… Read more »
