Alec Baldwin's Big Mouth Causes Troubs Again
Filed under: TV News > Alec Baldwin
Scapegoating makes ratings loser 30 Rock look desperado, Alec!
Blowhard Alec Baldwin whined in a recent interview that NBC hasn't done much to promote his show as opposed to My Name Is Earl, which he thinks sucks.
Says the belligerent daddy:
"NBC hasn't done a thing to help this show ('30 Rock'). They've gone out of their way to wring the last drops out of 'My Name Is Earl' and 'Scrubs.' Those shows are done! They're cooked! Yet they do a one-hour episode of 'Earl.'"
No surprise, Baldwin's pout infuriated My Name Is Earl creator Greg Garcia.
Garcia issued a scathing statement in response:
"(Baldwin) sounds like a psychotic narcissist. Instead of blaming NBC, I think Alec should consider that some people in America may not want to watch a man who cusses out his own 11-year-old daughter on a phone message. Oh, and the reason NBC occasionally puts on an hour long episode of 'Earl' is because an hour of 'Earl' gets better ratings than an 'Earl' followed by a '30 Rock.' It's called math, stupid."
Ouchie!
At least 30 Rock has gimicky guest stars to help the cause this season, Alec.
It gets better!
Alec Baldwin sort of apologized to the Earl cast but then throws a low blow:
My apologies to the cast and crews of My Name Is Earl and Scrubs. In my frustration with NBC's reprehensible promotion of 30 Rock, I took an unfortunate swipe at both of those shows and that was not cool.
But, for Earl's creator, Greg Garcia, who referred to me as a "psychotic", I have only one question. Why are you Scientologists always rendering these medical opinions you aren't qualified to give?
This is getting good!
What's next?!

i kind of hate him. always. loser
second!
oh look, a bunch of has beens arguing. Who the hell cares. The guy is a pig
1s
god, i hate this guy
he is just causing more trouble!
Love him, Love 30 Rock, nuff said.
sorry, but Alec is right..crazy ass Scientologists and shitty shows..30 Rock is way better than either Earl or Scrubs..you go Alec
If NBC isn't promoting a show enough, It's DAYS OF OUR LIVES!
Promote DOOL more.
Anyways, i love MNIE and SCRUBS! Not 30 rock though. boring.
i side with alec baldwin, at least 30 rock is a creative show
he really is under rated
so funny - i just became a fan of alec baldwin… perhaps i'll watch 30 rock now
He is hilarious on 30 Rock, that show is def better than My name is earl. I dont care about his personal life. Haha but anyone who disses scientology is ok by me.
I'll admit, that was a pretty sweet comeback on Alec's part. Hey, if the guy can re-hash Alec's rocky relationship with his daughter then why can't Alec diss the guy's cra-zay-zee religion?
what's the problem?
(Earl) Jason Lee is also a scientologist.
P.S. Andy sucks dick and has a Rumer willis jaw. He is butt ugly and no one likes him, not even in real life.
Sorry Perez, but 30 Rock is hands down the best show on TV. It is fucking hilarious, and substance like this is lacking in every other prime time show.
You're a rude little pig!
He didn't blame the republicans or Bush? Alec, Alec Alec- you're slipping buddy.
Re: Perez is a Balding Hasbeen – Who is Andy?
OH SNAP!!
i love the scientology jab. theres nothing like it.
Hilarious!!
30 Rock is so freaking amazing.
I love Alec Baldwin. I like Tina Fey. I *HATE* 30 Rock.
xoxo, Isa
30 Rock FTW
I agree with Alec. 30 Rock is under promoted. Earl is for dummies (Republicans) and 30 is for smart people (Democrats).
Why are you Scientologists always rendering these medical opinions you aren't qualified to give?
hahahaha Nice one Alec! Sock it to that creepy criminal cult!
Garcia can kiss my butt! LOVE baldwin and i dont care how he talks to his daughter. the dude is HILARIOUS and i love 30 rock! I cannot believe more ppl arent' watching the show or that its doing badly. Earl sux!!!! crazy ass scientologists! lol
He's totally right about Earl and Scrubs though….he just shouldn't say it out loud. Earl used to be so funny but it's idiotic now. Unwatchable.
I understand his frustration. 30 Rock is so much better than My name is Earl, which is probably why MBC needs to promote it. And I completely agree with his views of scientologists, there are enough dangerous cults in the world with Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The world doesn't need another one. Alec Baldwin is a brilliant comic.
Hey, leave scientologists out of this! They're not even relevant. They are as important as how many of my cashews were thoroughly digested. I can pick apart my crap - but who cares? they are SHIT NUTS.
BAHAHAHA those hasbeen shows are cooked! Baldwin iz right on the money here I think.

The Shadow Knows…
I love 30 Rock, and I've never even seen My Name is Earl.
while this guy is a total creep, it has nothing to do with what he was talking about. and whoever created "my name is earl" is deranged, hi, its about a hick and his karma, commercials complete with one legged toothless women. ugh.
i kinda agree with him! the office and 30 rock always get overlooked cause of earl.
wow, that's awesome. i'm totally on alec baldwin's side… my name is earl is such low comedy in comparison with 30 rock, and i've always noticed that 30R gets insufficient advertising. DOWN WITH EARL!!!
I love a dude that can throw a punch, take a punch and throw another! Zexay! By the way, Earl does suck. But does so does 30 Rock….in a different way.
Baldwin sucks and he has a major attitude problem. However, I sort of agree with his Scientology statement. Considering they don't even believe in psychosis, it is pretty funny that the guy should chose that wording to describe him.
Alec is kinda slimy but his comedic timing is brilliant, very funny guy. 30 Rock is far superior than the other 2 shows and Baldwin's reply to Garcia was priceless.
even if hes right, which he probably is…It makes him look like a massive douchebag by crying about it to the public..
30Rock is AWESOME and Alec Baldwin, whatever personal issues he might have, is one of the finest comedians of our time.
30 Rock is my favorite show!!
i thort it would have been going off in america…?
its on at 11:30 here (aus) sucks balls.
damn tv ppl putting le crap on at prime time >:(
but yeah 30 Rock kicks all over earl. i used to like earl but im u know over it and his list…
ps it was funny as alec calling his daughter a little piggy! what parent HASNT called their kid a little piggy?!!?
IT'S CALLED A PUBLICITY STUNT
I was all ready to take Garcia's side…but he's a Scientologist? This is a no-win war. They both suck.
I don't watch either show…I just love celebrity feuds. Yummy!
Luv 30 Rock and Luv Alec Baldwin - he's friggin hilarious - he just tends to forget to think first then speak - he is a passionate fella and has an opinion on everything - not that anyone should take it too seriously.
i saw him in a diner yesterday
he looked terrible
i fucking like my name is earl. fuck fat alec right up his ass!
Im with Alec on this one!!
Alec Baldwin is so damn funny and opinionated, im def on his side regardless of the scientology factor, that's just icing on the cake. 30 rock is a brilliant show unlike earl which sucks dick.
Alec is brilliant! He has every right to complain about NBCs idiotic management. His paycheck is at stake. He is just reminding them that they are all in show business. No promotion = no viewers = no revenues! If 30 Rock is making money, then the stupid management should keep it making money.
THAT EARL GUY IS WRONG. WE WANT TO SEE 30 ROCK EVEN IF YOU SHOW US A FILM OF BALDWIN AND HIS 11 YEAR OLD DOING CRACK TOGETHER.
.

EARL TOTALLY SUCKS. THAT'S JUST OBVIOUS.
"earl" appeals to a vast majority of Americans because it is low-watt humor. It's on par with the average American idiot. 30 rock is more cerebral, and since there are more uneducated than there are educated people in the US, "earl" will remain most popular. It's a sad commentary on the U.S.
LMAO….I just love Alec Baldwin…he's funny as shit and just a bit crazy…just like I love them….
