Alec Baldwin to host new talk show

Actor Alec Baldwin will host a new TV show for the ABC network.
The new show, "Sundays with Alec Baldwin" has been given an eight episode order by the network and will feature one-on-one conversations with some of the most interesting people from American pop culture.
A sneak peak of the new show will air on March 4, right after the Academy Awards ceremony, the network said in a press release. It will feature in-depth interviews with Baldwin's longtime friend Jerry Seinfeld and "Saturday Night Live" cast member Kate McKinnon.
"I'm excited about this show and grateful to ABC for taking a chance on me in what is, admittedly, a crowded field.

"I've enjoyed doing my podcast for WNYC and look forward to the challenge of doing a show on camera," Baldwin said.
Baldwin also hosts and executive produces "Match Game" on ABC, and his company, El Dorado Pictures, has a two-year first-look deal with the studio. "Sundays with Alec Baldwin" is produced for ABC by El Dorado Pictures with Jason Schrift serving as executive producer.
