Memorable Baldwin: Fred Armisen's Pick
Posted September 22, 2011 2:54 PM
Fred Armisen based his pick off a conversation he had with Baldwin himself. During a dinner recently (we get it Fred, you and Alec are friends), Fred said Alec spoke almost reverently about a sketch he did when he hosted in 1991 called "Cyrano." In this parody of the literature classic, Alec as Cyrano, attempts to woo a lady using the help of his friend Christian, played by Tim Meadows. Meadows' character knows all the right things to say, but is not himself a lady's man because he has an insanely ugly nose.
It's a great pick and a classic sketch...which unfortunately cannot go online due to music clearance issues. So instead enjoy another instance where Baldwin tackled lady troubles with 1993's "Gap Girls 2."
