In a comedic new web series called Alec Baldwin's Love Ride the actor and internationally renowned relationship expert offers romantic advice to unsuspecting lovers in a cab. Viewable on Above Average, the show consists of short episodes in the form of YouTube videos. So far there are two instalments.
In addition to offering his own insights to the couples, Alec Baldwin receives some prompting through a hidden ear piece from famed Saturday Night Live writer and former 30 Rock producer and writer Paula Pell. Her commentary and suggestions in a tailing taxi are also absolutely hilarious (one would expect no less).
Alec Baldwin's Love Ride unsolicited relationships counselling is slightly reminiscent of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which Baldwin appeared on in an earlier season.
