Beginning this weekend, ABC will start spending its Sundays with Alec Baldwin.
Earlier this week, the network ordered a nine-episode first season of the hour-long interview show, which includes a post-Oscars sneak peek featuring sit-downs with Jerry Seinfeld and Kate McKinnon. When the talk show returns with more episodes later this year, Baldwin is eager to line his guest list with other pop culture newsmakers, be it in Hollywood, science, arts or politics. And in a bid to differentiate the interviews that he does from myriad others in TV's increasingly crowded landscape, the Emmy-winning actor will allow them to stretch beyond 20 minutes and, if possible, avoid making his series another stop on a promotional tour.
