Alec Baldwin is taking a shot at becoming a TV talk-show host.
Page Six hears that the irascible actor is making a TV show for ABC based on his popular WNYC radio interview show and podcast, “Here’s the Thing With Alec Baldwin.”
A source says that the former “30 Rock” star will begin to tape episodes in New York next week.
We’re told that the production is part of the deal Baldwin signed to continue hosting the ABC game show “Match Game.” In August, Variety reported that under the deal, “Baldwin’s El Dorado Pictures will develop scripted and unscripted projects under the ABC Studios banner.”
Since “Here’s the Thing” started in 2011, Baldwin has interviewed dozens for people from celebrities to economists.
