Alec Baldwin in early talks for NBC's 'Last Call'

All the “talk” continues to be about NBC’s late- night lineup.

Alec Baldwin

Now that Jimmy Fallon is set to take over “The Tonight Show” from Jay Leno, NBC is dealing with the rest of its late- night lineup, specifically “Last Call with Carson Daly.”

Daly’s talker has flown under the radar for 12 seasons. Now NBC is reportedly in talks with Alec Baldwin (“30 Rock”) about possibly taking over that half- hour.

Baldwin signed a two- year overall deal with the network late last year, on the eve of “30 Rock” wrapping up. He has a lot of past with the network, as he has hosted “Saturday Night Live” a record 16 times.

Baldwin also has a weekly podcast, “Here’s the Thing,” that sees him interviewing celebrities.

Seth Meyers is rumored to be next in line for “Late Night,” Fallon’s current gig. Lorne Michaels (“Saturday Night Live”) will exec produce “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” and could also do “Late Night” because of Meyers. Would he also take on a Baldwin “Last Call?” Michaels brought Baldwin to “30 Rock,” and kept bringing him back to “Saturday Night Live.”

Daly also hosts “The Voice,” so don’t feel too bad for him if he’s out.

I only said what I did about the baldwin brothers, because of what stephen told trump on this season of Celeb Apprentice All Stars. Trump asked stephen if he'd give xxx$ or 40k amount to charity out of stephen's own pockets? Stephen hesitated to answer and you could see in his eyes he was dancing around answering that. As he was going to say No he wouldn't out of his own pocket. Then Trump see's that and then says well your brother Alec would, wouldn't he? Again Stephen doesn't want to answer that (this is all in the matter of a second or two) But Stephen then says, well uhh uhhh, Alec would if uhh it were to our Mother's charity. (as if the money out of their own pockets would be going back into their pockets since it was their "mother's/family" charity. I may be wrong, but pretty messed up that Alec is so famous and makes good money. When someone as rich as him would pay 40,000$ a month for their own parking space in New York City and or Parking Garage Space....

If Baldwin hosts Last Call it's going to be even more painfully-obvious just how bad Fallon is at his job. Shame they can't just give Baldwin the Tonight Show!
