'30 Rock' Wraps Production with Tracy Morgan Singing Songs from 'Thriller'

by | December 21st, 2012

The 30 Rock cast and crew finished shooting the series finale Wednesday night after working together on seven seasons of the critically-acclaimed show. Kevin Brown, who plays Dot Com on the show, tweeted this picture (embedded at its full size below) of the 30 Rock gang all together one last time. Tina Fey tells Zap2it about the last day of filming: "Last night there was a delay and as happens every time in seven years it ended up with Tracy [Morgan] singing songs from Thriller. It was the same three Michael Jackson songs so many times. Last night, it turned into an impromptu break dance party." 30 Rock's [...]

Alec Baldwin dropped a major bombshell about the show on Twitter:

Watch Tracy Morgan Get His Ninth Exotic Fish Tank

by | August 22nd, 2012

Last week, Tracy Morgan told David Letterman about his shark tank and the photo alone seemed completely nuts. Of course, because it's Tracy, somehow the thing is even more ridiculous. Below, see the big reveal and watch Tracy teach one of these bros how to ride a Segway. I look forward to the shark tank episode of 30 Rock, in which Tracy has to miss rehearsal because John Travolta promised to fly him to Australia, home of Russell Crowe's tiger shark farm.

Tracy Morgan + Jesse Eisenberg + Drugs + Pianos = 'Why Stop Now'

by | July 5th, 2012

"Eisenberg & Morgan" has a real ring to it. The unlikely comedy duo is set to take their vaudeville act to the big screen in Why Stop Now, a film about a piano prodigy (Eisenberg) who helps his addict mother (Melissa Leo) get one last fix from her drug dealer Sprinkles (Morgan). It sure sounds madcap and zany and Tracy Morgan's character is freaking named Sprinkles. The movie comes out in August and then there'll be no stopping the modern day Abbott & Costello that is Eisenberg & Morgan

Can You Help Tracy Morgan Find Mr. Pickles?

by | April 26th, 2012

This is completely true: Three of my favorite things in the world are Wheat Thins, Tracy Morgan, and people listing wacky names without much reason. This video is exactly that, nothing else, nothing more. It's the epilogue of sorts to another Tracy Morgan ad (below), which was ok but mostly felt like ad guys writing average 30 Rock jokes. This one is much funnier and has a much more pure concept. It's just Tracy mumbling the names of his gerbils – simple, elegant, hilarious. Mumble on my man and you are right, that gerbil doesn't have a car.

Jimmy Fallon and Tracy Morgan Read "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

by | December 6th, 2012

Jimmy Fallon's SNL war buddy Tracy Morgan slapped on a turtleneck and scarve and joined him to tell a good ol' Christmas story last night. Tracy Morgan, of course, takes "Twas the Night Before Christmas" off the rails in a typical Tracy Morgan fashion, albeit without taking his shirt off. This is just another video to add onto the stack of evidence as to why NBC should give Jimmy Fallon an annual Christmas variety special already, a movement that is gaining some traction on Tumblr this week.

Black Ops: 'Post-Racial' Comedy in the Age of Obama

by | September 26th, 2012

In 2010, former troupe-mates Donald Glover and DC Pierson returned from Los Angeles to perform at The Creek and The Cave, in New York City. Glover was tossed a question from an audience member: What's it like working with Chevy Chase? In response, he described how Chase had delivered a 40-minute lecture to Saturday Night Live cast member Bobby Moynihan laying out the case for why Glover has to be homosexual, which he is not. "That's the only way a guy like Chevy Chase has of processing a black guy who looks like me, talks like me, dresses like me," said Glover on stage that night. "That's how alien [...]

Tracy Morgan Talks Sharks; Makes Great TV

by | August 17th, 2012

Sometimes Tracy Morgan just is indistinguishable from Tracy Jordan. He has a Jaws themed shark tank for his son Tracy Jr.? Come on! I know what you're thinking: He can't be Tracy Jordan, he didn’t once mention getting girls pregnant. O ye of little faith, watch more of the interview below. He also talks about his high school friend Mitt "Mitty Mitt" Romney. The whole time Letterman is flabbergasted, as to say, "How did this insane person become the funniest man I've ever met?"

Tracy Morgan and Will Arnett Make Hockey Jokes

by | June 21st, 2012

The 2012 NHL Awards were last night. I know what you're thinking: "Oh no, I missed the 2012 NHL Awards and the 2011 NHL Awards and the 2010 NHL Awards and the 2009, 2008, 2007— Wait, how old are the NHL awards? What is the NHL? Hock-what? Hock-ey? Is that one where they hit a flat ball with a stick? Puck? Puck you, buddy." As you can see above, Tracy Morgan does a great job pretending to know what hockey is and doing his Tracy Morgan thing. Below watch all the clips of Will Arnett impersonating Brendan Shanahan. Who's Brendan Shanahan? No idea but it's funny to watch Will [...]

Ok, 10 words: The Cast of 30 Rock Played Charades with Jimmy Fallon

by | April 26th, 2012

Have you ever played charades? Isn’t it fine? It usually peaks at whenever someone yells out "Baby Fishmouth" and yet goes on for like 45 minutes more. Watching professional funny people play charades is a different story, however, as it is the best. The teams were Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, and Jane Krakowski vs. Tina Fey, Jack McBrayer, and Alec (Alex? Alec? Alex? Alec.) Baldwin. One team was good at it and one team was not, can you guess which? What I'm trying to say is, Tina, please come to my next dinner party, we'll play charades and I'll make a ham. Speaking of ham, let's eat breakfast whilst watching [...]

Spike TV Is Giving Eddie Murphy a Star-Studded Tribute

by | October 11th, 2012

Macho cable network Spike TV just announced it’s throwing a flashy tribute to comedy mainstay Eddie Murphy next month. A lot of big-name Hollywood types are set to toast Murphy and his three-decades-long career during the special, entitled Eddie Murphy: One Night Only, including Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson, Tracy Morgan, Martin Lawrence, and Eddie’s brother, Charlie Murphy. The TV special will include comedy sketches, musical performances, and short films, ending with an appearance by Eddie Murphy, of course, because he’d be a big jerk if he skipped out on this big party Spike is throwing in his honor.

The Emmys

Emmy Voters Still Really Really Like Modern Family (And Louis C.K., Apparently)

by | September 24th, 2012

Last night was the Emmy Awards, a three-hour-long ceremony the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences holds each year to honor Modern Family. The cast and crew of other TV comedies are invited to attend too, but they know going in that they will probably lose to Modern Family and that they were only nominated because there aren’t enough people working on Modern Family to fill every category.

Modern Family won a whopping four Emmys, significantly more than any other comedy at last night’s awards. Included in Modern Family’s bounty is the prize for Outstanding Comedy Series, which the sitcom has taken home for three years in a row [...]

Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman, Tracy Morgan Speak from the Future about AIDS and Hybrid Animals

by | July 24th, 2012

2015 seems really solid: there are plenty of turtaffes, boobs are finally considered gross by everybody, Arrested Development wins an Oscar (probably for best makeup for painting Tobias blue), and ideally we'll be at the beginning of the end of AIDS. Also, hopefully in 2015, Zach Galifianakis stops yelling at us. Find out more info here.

Tracy Morgan Was Very Tracy Morganesque on 'Conan' Last Night

by | May 23rd, 2012

Wearing a blinged out (do kidz theze dayz still say that?) "#1 Dad" necklace, Tracy Morgan dropped by Conan to give President Obama tattoo advice, talk about having a threesome with O.J. Simpson and Kris Jenner, tickle Andy, and basically take over the show for ten minutes. Man, when he's on, Tracy is the best kind of crazy. In the clip below, at the end of the interview Conan C. Black asked, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Nothing's wrong – he's just Tracy.
