Let’s give it up for Alec Baldwin, shall we? The guy is a whirlwind of talent and energy, keeping his career as vibrant as ever. Just this past summer, he slipped back into the role of Alan Hunley in the adrenaline-pumping Mission: Impossible - Fallout, starring alongside the legendary Tom Cruise. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Alec's also been wowing audiences with his spot-on impression of you-know-who on Saturday Night Live, lending his voice to political rallies against the very person he mocks, and even flirted with the idea of playing Bruce Wayne’s dad in the Joker movie. Not to mention his recurring role on Will & Grace, hosting the quirky game show Match Game, and now, stepping into the world of late-night television with The Alec Baldwin Show.

But let's talk about the debut of The Alec Baldwin Show. Last Sunday, it stumbled out of the gate, landing as the lowest-rated show of the evening. Now, this might come as a surprise given his star-studded lineup, featuring the dynamic Taraji P. Henson from Empire and the iconic Robert De Niro. Here's the thing: Taraji is a natural storyteller, effortlessly weaving tales that captivate audiences. Meanwhile, De Niro, while one of our most celebrated actors, tends to be more reserved in this kind of setting. This left Alec, now 60, doing most of the heavy lifting, which kind of defeats the purpose of an interview show, don't you think?

Only time will tell if the show can pick up steam in the ratings. But here's something to look forward to: in the second episode, airing on Oct. 21, Alec's guest is none other than Kim Kardashian West. According to ABC, she spends the hour chatting with Alec about her famous family, including her husband Kanye West, her incredible journey from reality TV star to successful entrepreneur, and her recent foray into political advocacy. It’s shaping up to be a fascinating conversation.
