During the election night, ABC quietly announced that "The Alec Baldwin Show" would move from its prestigious slot on Sunday night to a less attractive venue on Saturday night, amid disappointing reviews and negative media attention around the crazy star.
The rehearsal of "Shark Tank" will replace Baldwin's assaulted talk show Sunday at 10 pm Special shows "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" and "The Sound of Music" will also air on Sunday night. "The Alec Baldwin Show" returns on December 8 in its new time slot – 22:00 ET on Saturday.
Variety – a leading publication in the Hollywood sector – said "ABC has everything but plugged in," highlighting the program's poor ratings. Variety noted that Baldwin's show is "one of ABC's lowest-rated shows" and that its last episode attracted only 1.5 million viewers.
"The show was not able to find an important audience," wrote Joe Otterson of Variety.
Baldwin, an anti-Trump, accused of assault and harassment after his arrest last week after hitting a man in the trendy West Village neighborhood of New York City, had a hard time.
In a video obtained by Page Six, Baldwin, 60, was seen coming out of the NYPD's 6th Ward station in Greenwich Village. He must appear in court on November 26 and took on the Twitter account of his family foundation to address the incident a few hours after his arrest.
"Normally, I would not comment on something as blatant as today 's story," he writes. "However, the statement that I hit someone on a parking lot is false," he continued. "I wanted to say it on the record, I realize it's become a sport to mark people [with] as many negative accusations and defamation as possible claims for entertainment by clickbait. "
Baldwin concluded, "Fortunately, no matter how much reverberation echoes, the statements are not true."
Baldwin has earned praise – and groans – for his portrayal of President Trump in NBC's "Saturday Night Live". The previous experience of his television show was also unsatisfactory: Baldwin's MSNBC 2013 show was canceled after five episodes.
This was not the first arrest for the star notoriously prone to anger. Baldwin was handcuffed in 2014 after becoming "belligerent" with a police officer who stopped him on the bike for allegedly driving in the wrong direction. Tara Palmeri, ABC News's White House correspondent, recently recalled how Baldwin once told her: "I hope you'll be strangled," while she was working as a journalist of tabloid in New York.
