NEW YORK Alec Baldwin is philosophical about the end of "30 Rock"s three-year run as best comedy at the Emmys.
The NBC show lost its lock on the category Sunday as "Modern Family" won best comedy series. Baldwin also saw his two-year streak as outstanding actor in a comedy series come to an end. He lost to Jim Parsons of CBS "The Big Bang Theory."
"Nothing can last forever. We knew that eventually wed have to watch someone else pick up the Emmy; this is the year it happened," said Baldwin, who was at an event for the opening of the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York City. "Weve been very lucky, and I cant complain. Im a big Jim Parsons fan."
He cant say the same for ABCs "Modern Family" � but thats not because he has any ill will toward it.
"Ive never watched `Modern Family," he admitted. However, he blames that on the flights he takes. Baldwin said he watches most of his sitcoms on airplanes, and the flights he takes only show NBC and CBS shows.
"I used to see `Everybody Loves Raymond on the plane; Ive watched every damn episode," he said with a laugh.
Baldwin is a longtime fan of tennis. He was at Arthur Ashe Stadium as the U.S. Open marked its first night with a celebration honoring tennis great Martina Navratilova and current player James Blake, among others.
