Actor Alec Baldwin's late-night talk show has been scrapped from the channel after his negative comments on homosexuals.

The show titled "Up Late With Alec Baldwin" used to come on MSNBC channel and it was getting poor ratings.

Sources say the decision to axe Baldwin was based, in part, on his recent homophobic outbursts when he used foul language for a photographer, reports tmz.com.

"We wish Alec all the best," said a representative from MSNBC.
