‘My Name Is Earl’ creator labels Alec Baldwin “psychotic narcissist”
Posted on September 5th, 2008 by Hot Momma
My Name Is Earl creator Greg Garcia launched a sharp rebuttal toward Alec Baldwin after the acerbic actor accused Network bosses of favoring other shows over his own series 30 ROCK.
Baldwin recently criticized TV bosses at NBC for giving extra help to shows including Scrubs and My Name Is Earl, at the expense of his own TV comedy. In his usual scathing manner he said:
“NBC hasn’t done a thing to help this show (30 Rock). They’ve gone out of their way to wring the last drops out of My Name Is Earl and Scrubs. Those shows are done! They’re cooked! Yet they do a one-hour episode of Earl.”
Clearly Baldwin’s comments have infuriated Garcia who fired back with his own barrage, labeling Baldwin “unlikable” and “distasteful”.
He also makes reference to Baldwin’s 2007 scandal over a leaked phone message to his 11-year-old daughter Ireland - in which he called the youngster a “thoughtless little pig,” insisting the incident may have effected 30 Rock’s ratings. He tells the New York Post:
“(Baldwin) sounds like a psychotic narcissist. Instead of blaming NBC, I think Alec should consider that some people in America may not want to watch a man who cusses out his own 11-year-old daughter on a phone message. “Oh, and the reason NBC occasionally puts on an hour long episode of Earl is because an hour of Earl gets better ratings than an Earl followed by a 30 Rock. It’s called math, stupid.”
