ABC demotes The Alec Baldwin Show to Saturdays
-
Baldwin's talk show will move to a new Saturday timeslot on Dec. 8. While not an official cancelation, EW reports that ABC will be burning off already-taped episodes in its new graveyard slot. The news comes four days after Baldwin's NYC arrest for allegedly punching a man over a parking space. The Alec Baldwin Show premiered to a disappointing 2.1 million viewers on Oct. 14. EW notes that "ABC put out the news on Election Night when most news media and readers are paying attention elsewhere." Shark Tank reruns will replace Baldwin's Sunday timeslot.
