Alec Baldwin on his SNL Trump impression: "Every time I do it now, it's like agony"

The Hollywood Reporter

Baldwin spoke about Saturday Night Live and his new ABC weekly talk show Sundays with Alec Baldwin in wide-ranging Hollywood Reporter interview. Baldwin also spoke about why his MSNBC chat show failed after a few episodes. "The show died an ugly death," he says, blaming that experience on being paired with a news producer. MSNBC was a horrible marriage and just a really bad experience." So why do another TV interview show? "It's longer, and it’s not a pre-produced segment on the couch of a talk show — which is nearly always promotional," he says. "The watchword for me is origins. I like to talk to people about their origins. How did they grow up and how were they primed for this kind of work? How did Jerry Seinfeld become Jerry Seinfeld? I think that's inspiring for artists and performers."
