Emmy-award winning actor Alec Baldwin's late-night talk show on US cable TV news network MSNBC has been cancelled.
The talk show, "Up Late with Alec Baldwin," was suspended earlier this month after the actor apologised for comments he made to a New York photographer that a gay rights group described as homophobic.
"We are jointly confirming that 'Up Late' will not continue on MSNBC," the network and Baldwin's representative Matthew Hiltzik in a joint statement.
"This is a mutual parting and we wish Alec all the best," MSNBC added.
The show's viewership fell 40 percent from the 654,000 who watched its premier in mid-October to 395,000 when it was suspended in mid-November, according to Nielsen ratings compiled by Horizon Media.

Baldwin has had many confrontations with photographers and reporters.
