Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Actor Alec Baldwin, star of NBC's "30 Rock," has been added to the never ending list of stars that will appear on Rosie O'Donnell's upcoming NBC variety special "Rosie Live." The show will air on Wednesday, November 26 8/7c, live from New York's Little Shubert Theatre.

Celebrity News Service thinks that NBC may be releasing the names of the stars one at a time in order to receive more press, or perhaps they are actually releasing the names as the actors and musicians sign on for the special. Either way, the network has been sending out a steady stream of names that will appear on the show.

Baldwin will join previously announced guest stars including legendary performer Liza Minnelli, recording artist's Ne-Yo and Alanis Morissette, actress and comedienne Kathy Griffin and "30 Rock" star Jane Krakowski.

O'Donnell will bring back the grand tradition of the variety show format to television, like such iconic series as "The Carol Burnett Show" and "The Ed Sullivan Show," while including brand-new elements for a new generation of fans. The special will feature a topical monologue, musical production numbers and hilarious comedy sketches.
