Alec Baldwin says he isn’t interested in running for mayor of New York City. The 30 Rock leading man says that he doesn’t see himself fitting in with the other candidates. He said of the current candidates, “They're all just so horny for it.”

In discussing his chances for running for mayor he had high praises for his 30 Rock family. He finds the sitcom to be a safe harbor. He cites his enjoyment of filming the show . Despite good feelings from Baldwin, fans continue to speculate on the chance that he may not return for another season. His contract will be up at the end of the sixth season and he will get a chance to re-negotiate.

30 Rock will be taking over Community’s spot on the NBC lineup in January. This puts the show at 8pm against tough competition from Big Bang Theroy.
