Alec Baldwin: End of '30 Rock' near?
Alec Baldwin admits he's "nervous" about his upcoming Oscar co-host gig, but other television thoughts are on his mind now, too.Namely, how much longer his Emmy-honored run as network boss Jack on NBC's "30 Rock" may last, the actor tells Zap2it exclusively. And he knows it's up to series creator, producer and star Tina Fey.
"It's Tina's house, so to speak," Baldwin says, "and she has so many other options as a writer. I mean, Tina's going to go off and become Nora Ephron or Elaine May. She'll write films and probably direct films.
"She is so poised to go off and replicate the success of this show in so many other areas. Her book is coming out; she's very fertile in that way. There's so many things she can do."
Though he doesn't put a date on the potential end of "30 Rock," now in its fourth season, Baldwin anticipates it will happen when Fey is "done, rather than having it limp along just to make money. She won't re-up a deal if she doesn't think she's got it in her. If she feels she's done, she's going to walk away and go do something else. To me, the most fascinating thing about when '30 Rock' ends is to see what becomes of Tina."

I think Baldwin is a bit of an arse in his political views and personal life, but I have always enjoyed him as an actor and he his hlarious in this role. I hope the show goes on a while longer as I think it is getting better and better.
Please tell me its true.. cant stand this show
In its place they can show reruns of The Muppet Show.

Probably get better ratings doing that, too.
30Crock good riddance.
All of you except chuckles are idiots. 30 Rock is a great show. If you are too stupid to realize that they don't watch it.
just because the show requires an operational brain doesn't mean it sucks. well, in america i guess it does.
really if you guys think 30 rock is all that stupid then why are you even reading this article!!! give it up
I am very happy to read your articles, more useful for me especially
I have the same thing with you. I am so very petrified of this in my lectures
is it just me or did Baldwin throw a little zinger in there... "i wanna see what becomes of Fey after the show's over"? almost like he's saying the little girl's gonna FADE, FAde, fade away... he's funny and probably very right. lol
golide- is it just you
it is sad that 30 rock is the only smart and funny show on TV that is NOT animated...
