The “30 Rock” actor told Kelly Ripa on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera that he would like to retire and become the star of his own reality show, similar to what the Kardashians and the Osbournes have done. The 65-year-old actor revealed that he had barely achieved success on a previous project due to the money he spent on hotel rooms, plane tickets and meals for his huge family.
“I used to jump on a plane and go to LA and do a movie here or a few episodes of Will and Grace, I did that for a while,” he said, as transcribed by the Daily Mail. “You know, several things like that. And it was easy to pick up and go. They don’t even have, I need twelve plane tickets, you know, nannies, kids, my wife, I need eleven. They don’t even have eleven seats in the business class section of the plane.

He recalled taking a business trip to Los Angeles four years ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic. “We were in a hotel and we always stayed in the same hotel because it was the only hotel that could put four suites together so we could all live together,” he recalls. “And I looked at my wife and said, ‘You realize we’re not going to make a cent. We’re not going to make a cent.’”
He continued, “Here we have mashed potatoes, $20 room service, a Diet Coke is $11. I said, ‘You realize we’re not going to make a cent. The private plane, the hotel, the room service, we’re going to break even on this work that I’m doing.'” He continued, “So everything that we did and then… shows that we’ve thought and pitches that we’ve heard , and even one or two pitches we did about our family and that reality show were all about staying home and just working from home.
The actor revealed that he is “desperately trying to work from New York” to be closer to his family, even if it means allowing cameras into his New York City home.

Kelly Ripa seemed to completely agree with Alec’s idea. “I think that’s the smartest thing. It’s a show I would watch in a heartbeat because you’re very caught up in the Hollywood world. You are a world famous actor,” she said.
Although Alec and Hilaria seem to be going all out, it seems unclear how their children would feel. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, share children Carmen, 10, Rafael, eight, Leonardo, six, Romeo, five, Eduardo and Lucia, both two, and one-year-old Ilaria. During the interview, he indicated that he wanted to work less to spend time with his children when they grew up.
“I’ve been working less and less and I’m at home and my wife and we want to travel the world with the kids,” he said. “I mean, I want to show seven kids Rome and London and Paris and Madrid and blah, blah, blah. And we think about that now, where we have a different life in terms of work. I really think about it, you know, I’m kind of fed up with it, I mean, I’ve been doing this for a long time and I want to have a private life.

On October 21, 2021, Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cameraman Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” when a gun he was holding before a scene went off. Although Baldwin insists he never pulled the trigger, he was charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023. A few months later, these charges were dropped without prejudice, pending further investigation.
However, last month prosecutors revealed they are considering charging Baldwin again. If convicted, he could face up to 18 months in prison along with a $5,000 fine.
“Rust” gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who also faces an additional charge of tampering with evidence, has pleaded not guilty. Her court hearing has been postponed until February 2024.
