“Outside of children and marriage and so on,” CNN’s Piers Morgan asked Baldwin, “what has been the single greatest moment of your life, the moment that if I could relive it for you right now, you would ask to relive it?”

Baldwin recalled how he “traveled around” Massachusetts in 1994 to campaign for Kennedy and “Teddy Kennedy called me. And he said I want you to know that if I win this race, you are partly responsible for that. He said, you put your brick in the wall of my campaign and I will never be able to repay you or thank you.”

Baldwin related how he “felt like I was going to cry, because I worked so hard to try to puff my little wind into the sails of Teddy’s campaign, because people were saying that he was going to lose that race.”

Morgan agreed that was “a fantastic moment.”
