(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Alec Baldwin watches 30 Rock while he is working out.

The 52-year-old stars as Jack Donaghy in the American comedy, which is about a fictional live sketch show. He has been praised for his performance, picking up several Golden Globe and Emmy Awards for the portrayal.

It seems Alec is just as keen on the show as his fans, as hes been seen tuning into it while pumping iron at Equinox gym in New York.

Hes more interested in watching himself on TV than working up a good sweat! reports National Enquirer. Before he begins his cardio routine, Alec has a habit of grabbing the remote control and switching on the station that plays reruns of his series 30 Rock.

The star has been seen giggling to himself as he lifts weights and pounds the treadmill, much to the amusement of other gym goers.

Alecs representative confirmed he has a penchant for the hit show, explaining it helps him relax and get in the mood for sport. Hes merely exercising his right to great comedy during his workout, the spokesperson said. (C) Cover Media
