Not many people remember Alex Baldwin’s short-lived late night show Up Late With Alec Baldwin. The program aired on MSNBC and was canceled after Baldwin got into a fight with a paparazzi. During the fight, Baldwin verbally assaulted the person, using several homophobic slurs.

Baldwin bounced back quickly, become an SNL darling for his impersonation of Donald Trump. He also plays a pivotal role in the ongoing Mission Impossible franchise starring Tom Cruise.
