Here's The Thing: Chris Rock and Herb Alpert

Alec goes backstage with comic actor Chris Rock after a matinee of The Motherf**ker With The Hat to hear what it was like for Rock to be in his first play.  Rock admits that rehearsal was the hardest thing he's ever gone through in his life.  Rock and Alec talk about the play, the movie business and Rock's carefully worded stand-up. "I'm like a lawyer," says Rock; "it would all hold up in court." 

Alec also talks with Herb Alpert, legendary trumpeter and music producer.  In 1966, Alpert’s band, The Tijuana Brass sold over 13 million records, outselling The Beatles.  Alpert reveals what it was like to lose -- and slowly regain -- his trumpet voice over a period of nearly 8 years.  As co-founder of A&M Records, the largest independent record label of its time, Alpert talks about signing musicians like The Carpenters, Cat Stevens, and The Police.  As Alpert says, “Everybody’s looking for the same thing, I think – a life of purpose and meaning.”

In his new radio series, Here’s The Thing , award-winning actor Alec Baldwin gives the listener unique entrée into the lives of some of today’s most exciting performers.
