There’s a small part of us that misses the diabolical characters Alec Baldwin played in the ’90s, but his turnaround as funny guy has been the best part of his career. Even amid the likes of Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan on 30Rock, he’s the funniest of them all as Jack Donaghy. Brinker International Forum brings him in for A Conversation with Alec Baldwin and we’re kinda swooning.
