Alec Baldwin All Time Insult / TV Reviewing

On 60 Minutes tonight, Alec Baldwin was interviewed by Morley Safer about his mouth, his career, his failed marriage with actress Kim Bassinger and the infamous recording of his frightful attack on his daughter. He was asked about his ex-wife's lawyer whom he called a "300-pound. homunculus with a face like a clenched fist. " He retorted by saying, "I was being kind, Morley." Baldwin's colorful career has definitely been quite a ride.

Looking for a good place to find something to watch on TV tonight. Checkout David Bianculli's blog, TV Worth Watching. David reviews Television for NPR's Fresh Air program. You can also see his take on the 60 Minutes segment above.

One TV reviewer I certainly miss is John Leonard whose colorful and thoughtful segments used to be regular fare on CBS Sunday Morning. But with the loss of one great mind, comes the addition of another, Bill Geist. Bill is as about as nuts as journalists come on TV, so don't miss his latest walk on the wild side. Whether he's buying an Oscar, visiting the psychic capital of the world or visiting bikini clad baristas, Geist is clever and entertaining and able to find stories that would make Sunday Morning's original host, Charles Kuralt, chuckle with delight.
