'The Alec Baldwin Show': Robert DeNiro, Taraji P Henson and Kim Kardashian will be the first guests on ABC's new talk show
Golden Globe award-winning actor Alec Baldwin is all set to star in his own brand new prime-time talk show bringing his unfiltered, provocative interview style to television.
'The Alec Baldwin Show', which will premiere on October 14, 10 pm EDT on ABC, gives viewers a front-row seat to in-depth, intimate and candid one-on-one conversations as Alec, a prolific entertainer and quick-witted personality, sits down with some of the most compelling celebrities and cultural icons of our time.
Alec’s distinctive interview style and extraordinary ability to draw out never-before-told personal stories, coupled with a newsworthy roster of guests, make for a captivating hour of television each week. And when the show premieres, his first guests will be Robert De Niro and Taraji P Henson, followed with Kim Kardashian on October 21.
Kim Kardashian, the wife of President Donald Trump’s new BFF Kanye West will also make an appearance on the show. It was revealed in a statement that the 'KUWTK' star will be spending the entire hour talking to Alec about her famous family including husband Kanye West, her impressive journey from reality star to entrepreneur and her recent political advocacy.
And with Alec's Donald Trump imitation on Saturday Night Live, it is certain that the President will watch the episode with Kim even though he isn't impressed with Alec's imitation. And, as usual, Alec doesn't seem to care.
When Robert De Niro and Taraji P Henson join him on the premiere, they will discuss De Niro's unparalleled career, six children, synonymous affiliation with New York, success in restaurant and hotel business, and the current state of politics. Henson will talk to Alec about fighting for her career, being a mom, her upcoming first marriage and the role that brought her back to television.
Among the guests sitting down with Baldwin this season are Robert F Kennedy Jr., RuPaul, Kerry Washington, former President of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards, Jeff Bridges, Sarah Jessica Parker, former Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie, Mike Myers, Regina King, Gloria Allred, Ricky Gervais and the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg.
'The Alec Baldwin Show' is executive produced by Jason Schrift, along with Baldwin and Mallory Schwartz via his El Dorado Pictures. The series is directed by Jerry Foley.
