lol Stephen, i don't think "you nailed it" would be the best thing to say in a church 😂

Sad for the woman and her family 🙏🏻☮️

[@howarethingsindenver]

@𖤐 it aged well because he got arrested for punching another guy over a parking spot. The killing is just so extremely funny because he is anti gun, and ends up blasting some chick.

[@safri85duo]

I was just reading that after this interview, Alec said he'd never do the show again. He didn't like the question about why he was angry, and said Colbert isn't qualified to psychoanalyze him.

[@niftypete]

A year later, he's still talking about his disdain against Colbert in Justin Long's most recent podcast. Colbert was simply trying to give Baldwin a chance to prove the press wrong, and Baldwin took it as an attack. Guy needs to cool off and stop trying to burn bridges!

[@FreakieFan]

@@niftypete I'm surprised Baldwin took it so personally and harshly. Watching this interview it seems perfectly amicable, and Baldwin responds to his questions with humor and class? I would never have guessed, that because of this, he's never coming back.

[@darryl286]

Well, we know that the face that Alex was a sensitive person

[@rtususian]

No matter how you feel about Alec, you have to admit he is a very interesting talk show guest.

[@coltukkor]

If he can’t stand the paparazzi maybe he should have picked a different profession. 🤷‍♂️

[@pantherinparadise9686]

If it were not for the paparazzi, there would be no celebrities.

[@Sokrabiades]

'That's your own life, but…why are you so angry?…Ya-huh…So, you're not an angry person. I accept that, I accept that.' Gotta agree wth Mr Baldwin. Colbert comes off as pompous and judgemental here.

His anger built up until he shot a woman dead!

[@crystalb4178]

@KZbin is watching YouToo I don't think that was Colbert's intention. He sounded like he was trying to be funny (and it came across that way because both men were laughing and joking around over it which is why I find it surprising that Alec was offended over being asked that question) instead of asking a serious question.

[@shmookins]

Do to circumstances, I 'only' know him from 30 Rock. And he was immediately my favorite character. I love people that play very serious roles and also can be very whimsy and hilarious in others. I don't think there are a lot of actor that can bridge that contrast. I like this guy and I think he is awesome.

@dekusprite There is a difference between parents getting angry and being verbally abusive. It's great that being called all the names in the book (which is classified as emotional abuse) by your mother didn't negatively affect you but not everyone who has experienced that treatment is that lucky.

[@lynnturman8157]

There's a video from the 90s that a paparazi shot where he & Kim Basinger are bringing home their newborn baby. Baldwin spots the paparazi, goes inside and comes out with some shaving cream. He then walks up to the guy videotaping in his car and proceeds to cover the guy's window with shaving cream. Badass.

It’s a no brainer that just like all of us, Alec has his moments. I’ve never met Alec, but from what I’ve read online, watched online and on tv, and just heard throughout, people who have met Alec say he’s a good guy, he was pretty nice and chill. Usually when he gets angry it’s when the paparazzi are harassing him and his family, it’s obvious since those are like the only times we ever saw him angry.

That's a man with confidence. I am approaching 72; when I tag on a few more birthdays, most of my grandchildren will have graduated from high school.

he's smirking all the way through, because he considers himself a tough guy... let him try that tough guy bs with someone like me (just an example, I'm not an mma fighter , but it wouldn't take much)...and it might help... what alec needs, for his own good, and that of his family...is a good curb stomping... would open his eyes, and ultimately (after his recovery), he would likely thank, whoever... and so would his family... could change his life, and theirs, for the better...forever.

Alec (Shooty mc shooterton) Baldwin

[@sagerragerxo]

He's super talented, but frankly, his anger is pretty well documented. It's probably showcased best in his open letter to the industry where he rants, raves, and makes accusations to dozens of specific people. I've always been a fan of his acting, but it seems like his behavior borders on abusive (even with his family). I've had a hard time looking at him the same way ever since I read that letter.
