Alec Baldwin lands talk show

'30 Rock' star Alec Baldwin is being lined up to front a late-night talk show.
The 55-year-old actor, who is currently starring in a stage production of 'Orphans' on Broadway, is said to have had conversations with NBC about taking over the slot currently occupied by 'Carson Daly's Last Call' after impressing network chiefs with his podcast series, reported E! online.
"People have been impressed with his radio podcast series and have thought about him for these opportunities," a source said.
Baldwin's podcast series, called 'Here's The Thing', has seen him interview stars including David Letterman, Billy Joel, Kristen Wiig and Chris Rock away from the studio into locations such as his guest's apartment.

The proposal is one of several changes to NBC's late-night schedule, following the network's confirmation that Jay Leno is stepping down from 'The Tonight Show' and being replaced by 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon next year.
Seth Meyers, best known for his work on 'Saturday Night Live' is tipped to take over Jimmy's current show.
