According to TVGuide.com, immediately following an appearance on Larry King, Dr Phil received a call from Alec Baldwin seeking help for his 'anger issues'. Only in Hollywood does one seek guidance from a talk show host.

According to Dr. Phil, Baldwin insisted that "he recognized the inappropriate nature of his comments to his daughter, and using her as the misguided target for his frustrations. One of his fears is that people, including the court, would have the misconception that this characterizes his persona as a father."

Baldwin also told Dr. Phil that he is "completely and totally committed to continuing his fight to have access to a full and healthy ongoing relationship with his daughter." Though his role on 30 Rock is inconsistent with his desire to focus on his daughter, he told Dr. Phil that he intends to honor his contract.
