Alec Baldwin's Sunday night primetime talk show premiere reportedly tanked in the ratings.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor's ABC series drew 2.2 million viewers, with just an 0.4 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 age demographic.

The Nielsen tally makes it Sunday's lowest-rated show in that demographic, EW reported.

The new series kicked off with two high-profile guests, Robert De Niro and Taraji P. Henson, for extended conversations — a style that has been a hit for Baldwin's NPR podcast "Here's the Thing."

The actor got a lot more attention Sunday night with remarks at a Democratic Party event, where he urged voters "In an orderly and formal way, and lawful way" ought to "overthrow the government of the United States under Donald Trump."
