In New York, actor Stephen Baldwin stated he was fired from a romantic comedy reportedly because he was funnier than co-star Jennifer Aniston. This claim has sparked debate among entertainment audiences and industry insiders about casting decisions and professional dynamics on set.

The dispute matters for reputational reasons, as it involves two well-known actors and questions about fairness in casting. Baldwin's statement was made publicly at Winter Press Day, but the production company has not officially commented on the firing rationale.
