"Alec is an original and one of the greats. Heroic, complicated, legendary, brilliant and hilarious," Casey Patterson, the program's executive producer, said in a statement. "When we spoke about this event he said, 'You overestimate the number of friends I have,' and I replied, 'You underestimate the number of people that will line up to have fun at your expense.' It will be that kind of night -- love and laughs."

  "I am dreading this. I am truly dreading this. But if Tracy Morgan is coming, it'll be OK. Is Tracy coming?" Baldwin quipped.
