NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Alec Baldwin has signed on to co-host Turner Classic Movies' signature movie showcase, "The Essentials."

Starting in March, Baldwin will join Robert Osborne in introducing "must-see" movies each week, with an eye toward helping viewers better understand why these films are important and the effect they have on audiences and the culture at large.

Baldwin has previously appeared on TCM as part of the network's "Guest Programer" series and hosted the TCM special "Role Model: Gene Wilder."

"The Essentials" airs at 8 p.m. Saturdays.
