Alec Baldwin, Local TV Anchor
Alec Baldwin wears a lot of different hats these days: movie star, 30 Rock cast member, baseball cap pitchman, professional Saturday Night Live host, and of course Baldwin Brother.
He took a shot at local news anchor while setting the record for hosting SNL the other night, performing in what’s essentially a one-note skit as fictional WDHX Buffalo anchor Tom Flint. The always funny Kristen Wiig chips in as a reporter having some issues with her satellite delay.
