“I’m totally under Steve Martin’s wing,” Mr. Baldwin said, referring to his co-host. “He’s done it twice. I’m there to assist, like a magician’s assistant. That’s how I feel. I’m going to wear like a magician’s assistant costume.”
Before the Bagger could quiz him on whether he’d go skin-tight or glitzy, Mr. Baldwin adopted a tone of utmost gravitas and added: “The thing to remember, though, is that there’s two audiences. There’s the television audience for the program, and then there’s the people in the room for whom this is the highest level of achievement in the film industry, and you have to kind of keep a certain amount of dignity to that.”

…and then there’s the balcony seats.
Today I read an interview with Baldwin in which he said he’s quitting acting after his contract with 30 Rock ends in 2012. I wonder if the show will end at that point too. He also said he considers his entire movie career a failure. It was an interesting read: http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2009/12/alec-baldin-looks-to-call-it-quits-after-30-rock.html

So 2012 really is the end of the world…=(
