While enjoying a book signing at the East Hampton Library for his new book Nevertheless, Alec Baldwin was the belle of the ball and ended up chatting with fans who were concerned he wouldn’t come back to Saturday Night Live next season.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back, but maybe not as much. I need to see what we can laugh about by then,” Page Six reported him saying.

Alec is also going to be moderating “The New Normal in News: Ideology vs. Fact” at Guild Hall in East Hampton on August 21.
