The one thing that disturbs me about Alec is that people don't realize that he's really funny.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like the Baldwin boys a great deal. Alec is super-smart, super-articulate, almost too smart to be an actor.
ALEC is one great organization, I think, for growing future political leaders.
There's something about Alan Arkin. Even when he's doing nothing, he makes me laugh. I've always had that reaction to him: he's got a weary world-view that makes him perfectly cast.
I think the more the actor lets you know what he thinks of the character, the less the audience cares - like a comedian who laughs at his own jokes.
But as far as being popular, yeah, I think Dave Barry is really funny.
Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that's correct.
Billy Crystal knows how to make people laugh. He's got 30 years on stage... there's no telling him what's funny.
Well, he doesn't make me laugh. I think I've got a fair sense of humour but I can't really see it in him. I've listened to his show on the radio on a Saturday morning, and that's a load of mince as well.
I like seeing what the comedian thinks is funny, not just what they think I'll think is funny.
If somebody wants to book Alec Baldwin on one of our shows, and he wants to come on and talk to our people and say what he wants, I don't care. We would question him on his choice of words.
