(Newser) – Alec Baldwin was honored last night at the National Dance Institute's fundraising fete, but that's not what's making headlines today. Instead, it's one little comment Baldwin made about 30 Rock, telling New York that "next year is our last year of the show." The magazine notes that Baldwin has talked of leaving the show in 2012, but has never before mentioned that the show itself might end.

"Our contracts are expired [in 2012], and Tina is gonna have a big career directing films and writing," he continued. "She's going to be the next Elaine May. She'll be great."

@n230099 That was an obvious comedy bit because of the prop pulled out at the end. You could say you didn't think it went over well but you shouldn't try to get people to think that that wasn't written by a comedy writer, that he actually meant that.

“…I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families.*” *Alec Baldwin, December 12, 1998 Conan O’Brien Show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxVVhF3jQis
