Report: Alec Baldwin fired from MSNBC

Maybe this is what he meant when he said he wasn't sure if his MSNBC show would ever come back.

Alec Baldwin has been fired by MSNBC, reports Page Six, citing "sources." His weekly show, Up Late With Alec Baldwin, was originally pulled off the air for two weeks following an incident in which Baldwin fired a homophobic slur at a photographer.

"The decision has been made. He's gone," an insider at the cable channel tells Page Six. "The (parent company) Comcast guys have decided. Word is spreading through the building."

A source also cites his "diva-like behavior toward co-workers." Baldwin's demands allegedly include a humidifier because he claimed the air at 30 Rock was too dry, and the actor alienated staffers when he demanded a separate makeup room that was being used by a woman with cancer who is sensitive to hairspray.
