Fans of Alec Baldwin will no longer stay up late with the comedian; he has been fired by MSNBC.
It was previously reported that Baldwin was suspended by MSNBC for using homophobic slurs.
He called a photographer a "c---s---ing f-g." The host of the late night talk show Up Late on MSNBC at first denied doing so, before admitting that he did.
The incident drew a lot of ire from those apart of the LGBTQ community. Journalist Anderson Cooper had something to say about Baldwin calling a photographer the f-word:
Wow, Alec Baldwin shows his true colors yet again. How is he going to lie and excuse his anti-gay slurs this time?

As punishment for his actions, the network suspended Baldwin’s show for two weeks.
Baldwin did apologize for his actions in an editorial and a statement. “I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have -- and for that I am deeply sorry. "Words are important. I understand that and will choose mine with great care going forward."
However, MSNBC has dedicated to part ways with the host.
The New York Post reported that the star has been fired by the network. The show Up Late with Alec Baldwin has also been canceled.
According to the Hollywood Reporter the actor and the network came to a “mutual parting.”
