Wow. NBC is not commenting on the arrest of their “SNL” star, Alec Baldwin. How courageous of them:

I asked NBC about Alec Baldwin's future at "SNL" following his arrest. A spokeswoman tells me the network isn't commenting. https://t.co/YCVYZb9Ytk

And according to Baldwin, his low-rated show on ABC is still a go:

Update: Baldwin responded to our request for comment, “My comment is that my show airs Sunday at 10 pm on ABC, with Mike Myers and Cecile Richards as my guests.”

So, Megyn Kelly gets fired over a dumb comment and it’s radio silence on Baldwin?

Same network just fired Megyn Kelly for asking about Halloween costumes. https://t.co/d40NaFoZY1

Keep in mind, everyone at NBC and ABC knew what kind of guy Baldwin was but they didn’t care, including his behavior of the press:

Megyn Kelly was fired for a tone deaf question about blackface that she immediately apologized for. Alec Baldwin has violently assaulted people and threatened reporters multiple times. Have some standards, NBC. https://t.co/t7RjQ9Ce9D

And we like this idea:

If @nbcsnl had any comedy chops at all, they'd ask @realDonaldTrump to come on and imitate @AlecBaldwin. https://t.co/OCrS8UpF7a via @nbcnewyork
