Due to the follow out surrounding his angry voicemails to his 11 year old daughter, Alec Baldwin asked to be let go from his 30 Rock contract so he can devote his time to the issue of “parental alienation.” Fortunately for 30 Rock fans, NBC denied the request.
“If I never acted again I couldn’t care less,” Baldwin said in a pre-taped appearance for ABC’s “The View,” scheduled to air Friday.
The actor, in a transcript provided to The Associated Press by “The View,” said that he also wanted to quit “30 Rock” so the sitcom and the hundreds who work on it wouldn’t “be hurt by the situation.”
NBC, however, doesn’t give a damn about parental alienation; the network said hell-to-the-no, Alec Baldwin will fulfill his contract with the hit sitcom.
“Alec Baldwin remains an important part of `30 Rock.’ We look forward to having him continue his role in the show,” NBC said in a statement Wednesday.
A network spokeswoman said she didn’t know how many seasons his contract covered. A call to Baldwin’s publicist in New York was not immediately returned.
Baldwin intends to fulfill his obligation to the show, a source close to the actor said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make a statement.
If Alec Baldwin leaves 30 Rock, I will protest by calling up every 11 year old girl in the country and call her a “thoughtless little pig.” I’m that retarded for 30 Rock. |
