Just a few weeks ago, Baldwin was caught on camera shouting a gay slur at a paparazzo in New York City. Baldwin apparently called the man in question a “c**ksucking f*g”.
MSNBC confirmed the split today: "We are jointly confirming that Up Late will not continue on MSNBC. This is a mutual parting and we wish Alec all the best."
Baldwin himself addressed the slur on his website in a statement, claiming: "I would like to address the comments I made this past week. I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have -- and for that I am deeply sorry."
"Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward," he added. "What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable. Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support. I understand 'Up Late' will be taken off the schedule for tonight and next week."Explore more on these topics:
