Alec Baldwin's new weekly MSNBC talk show was suspended for two episodes after the actor was videotaped using an anti-gay epithet against a photographer during a New York street encounter.

The cable channel didn't specify the reason it yanked Friday night's "Up Late with Alec Baldwin" from its schedule this week and next, but the decision came the day after the Thursday run-in.

Only 2 episodes suspension?

They canned Howard Cossell permanently when he said "monkey".

Yeah, poor Alec, such a troubled soul... since he has some time off, maybe he can book a gig on Charley Sheen’s new show “Anger Management” for a little fake rehab.

Had a Republican or conservative or (God forbid) a Tea Partier been guilty of the same sin, the show would’ve been cancelled forever and they would never work again, not to mention the calls for their head!

Baldwin gets away with this because he is like every other Libturd: hateful and spiteful but on the right side of every issue with all the other Libturds out there.

So he gets suspended for two episodes based on ever negative three episodes?

So a 2 week holiday. That’s pretty tough.

It’s a good thing he didn’t comment on a pretty girl’s looks, like a harmless old sportscaster. He’d be toast.

Bingo! I didn’t even know the sleaze network had a show called “Throw Up Late With Alec Baldwin”. It must be one of those low information voter shows.

Paula Dean got life suspension for something she might have said decades before.

Interesting thought. Liberals love to compare the homosexual agenda to civil rights. Someone should ask the MSNBC executives which one is more offensive:

Ni**er or Fa**ot.

Then let them explain the two day suspension.

"Up Late With Alec Baldwin" probably has lower ratings than the Channel 5 test pattern.

I think BOTH of his viewers are deeply saddened.
