Alec Baldwin to Leave 30 Rock ... in 2012?
Any fan of 30 Rock knows that removing Jack Donaghy from the fold would leave pretty much no show. Well, we had better brace ourselves for that prospect eventually. After nearly quitting after its first season, Alec Baldwin is again talking retirement.
The man who plays and utters so many awesome 30 Rock quotes as the incomparable Jack Donaghy is reportedly ready to pack it in, but not for three more seasons at least.
On his retirement after 30 Rock, the actor tells Playboy: “I'm done in 2012. In March 2012 I’ll wake up and say, ‘What am I going to do now? Am I done?’ I think I will be done. I may finish a play or something, but I'm retiring at the wrap party.”
He sounds fairly confident of this. Oh well. At the very least, that's six full seasons into 30 Rock at that stage, and if it hasn't jumped the shark by then, we will be truly lucky!
