Looks like Alec Baldwin will not be renewing his contract after it expires in 2012, which marks the end of 30 Rock's sixth season. There have been rumors and claims before that he planned on quitting 30 Rock, or possibly acting altogether, and now it looks like that finally may be true. Alec told CNN earlier this week that he plans to stop acting altogether to pursue "a normal life", and that he doesn't see that happening while he's still considered a celebrity.
Um, I'm not sure if anyone has broken the news to Alec yet, but you can't just magically undo the makings of a celebrity, especially if you've been on a hit sitcom for four seasons that has consistently generated multiple Emmy wins for you. But hey, you can't blame a guy who just wants to live a "normal life", whatever that means.
It'll be interesting to see if this will really happen. Will season six be the last season with Jack Donaghy?
What will NBC do without the beloved characters of Jack Donaghy and Michael Scott, a.k.a. the reason the network has managed to stay afloat ratings season after the next? This news comes on the heels of Steve Carrell's announcement that he will be leaving The Office once his contract ends next year, marking the seventh season of The Office. Yikes. It's not looking too good for the peacock network.
