People.com reports:

During Baldwin’s Dean Martin-esue stint at the dais, he had the largely female audience women – including Katie Holmes, Renée Zellweger, Emily Blunt, Julianne Moore, Robin Wright and Julie Andrews – shrieking with laughter as he took aim at a variety of topics.

“I want to assure you that I didn’t steal this role from a more qualified woman,” Baldwin joked with the crowd at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles Monday night. “There was an audition process. The audition required me to move a couch, fall asleep in front of the TV, and open a particularly stubborn jar of pickles.”

A portion of his presentation has been posted on YouTube:
