William Jefferson Clinton who served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001, made a surprise appearance Sunday night at New York’s Apollo Theater, shocking the audience and guest of honor Alec Baldwin (Photo Below). The moment capped off an already-unpredictable evening at Spike TV’s “One Night Only: Alec Baldwin,” during which Baldwin’s famous family and friends mercilessly roasted him onstage. A floored Baldwin greeted President Clinton with a hug before Clinton paid a heartfelt tribute, acknowledging the actor’s “astonishing range” — and then pivoting from Baldwin’s professional life to his personal one.
