The Alec Baldwin Show

If you don't want to kill Alec Baldwin within the first ten minutes of his debut show then you're some kind of saint. His very first question to Robert de Niro is about how similar they are in so many ways. And so it continues. Baldwin can't go for more than a minute without bringing the conversation back to himself. Even when he appears to show some passing interest in de Niro as an actor it turns into sucking up to him, rather than digging for some kind of insight. And then it's back to Baldwin's attitude to making movies, raising his kids, Trump or whatever. Was there really no producer to rein Baldwin in? Or is his ego so appallingly inflated that nothing and no-one can control it?
