Tracy Morgan

Tracy Morgan spoke on behalf of "30 Rock" when the show won its Golden Globe and had one of the funniest speeches of the night.


"Tina Fey and I had an agreement that if Barack Obama won, I would speak for the show from now on. Welcome to post-racial America! I am the face of post-racial America. Deal with it Cate Blanchett!

If you don't understand that Tracy's MO is to act like a crazy guy and say crazy Shiite, then just go away. Its beyond you.

There is no evidence that this is not his natural personality. I've have watched him ever since he started on SNL, and have never found him to be funny. Every single appearance, whether he's playing a part or being himself, is the same. If it's just an act, where is the "real" Tracy revealed? Bad actor, bad comedian, and friend of Lorne Michaels spells international success, I guess. And most posters here are smart enough that it's not "beyond" us, but thanks for playing.

Most of the white people I know find him funny, while the black ones don't.

Wierd.

That is kinda weird. Most of the black people I know find him funny, but the white ones don't. The white ones tend to be a little to a lot bigoted.

For all the posters who said you don't get the joke, or Tracy needs training in public speaking, un-clench your butt cheeks and get a sense of humor. He's a comedian and just being funny.

I just don't find Morgan and his "I'm the supposedly dumb ebonics talking black dude but really the perceptive savant from the hood" shtick just totally un-un-funny. I don't know why these guys have to dumb down AA's to get a laugh.

Sorry for you. The guy really is funny. Sure it's a black kind of thing, but it is directed at us, and i get it :)

I understand your point; however, you should not feel that way. Should Whites feel dumbed-down for what White comedians do? Only you can determine your worth, not what some else thinks of you.

Tracy's brand of humor is quite interesting, and it took years to grow on me. His character on 30 Rock really caters to his style, and is what made me appreciate it. I kind of pretend he is his character from the show, wherever he is performing, and it makes me giggle. The only thing to 'get' is that he's being silly. Give him a chance .. he seems like one of those comedians without an ego, who will go all out if necessary.

Excellent take on TM. Once you 'get' him he is hilarious.

It could be because you just don't want to get it. Let yourself go... he's really funny.

Tracy Morgan needs to learn public speaking. He was not funny.

Imagine if you said "Stephen Colbert needs to read more!". Everyone would laugh because that is simply a character, but you were treating it as a real person. Same thing here. I'm sure Tracy Morgan has fine public speaking skills, when he is not performing his schtick. Lighten up

I loved the Cate Blanchett joke, but I can understand how some people didn't get it. Think of it from a Black perspective.

I'm trying as hard as I can, but I just can't seems to think of it from a black perspective. Maybe it's cause your comment doesn't make any sense. Maybe you can walk us through how one goes about thinking of something from a black perspective.

He's just funny. If someone is not adverse (putting it tactfully) to bla.cks, then he could be very funny. The guy is really great, and I wish him luck in his career.

This is the funniest moment from the golden globes, by far! Tracy Morgan is brilliant on the show, I absolutely love it! So glad that 30 rock, Tina Fey, and Alec Baldwin all won! well deserved.

On March 15 last year Tracy made a guest appearance on SNL that really energized the popular/youth culture for the Obama campaign. Watch it here http://rawstory.com/news/2008/SNL_Tracy_Morgan_defends_Barack_Obama_0316.html He hilariously tackles a gamut of stereotypes with perfect timing, all in just three minutes. What great, courageous, brilliant, loving humor. Yes, loving. It takes a huge heart to be a peaceful warrior. Love you, Tracy

Love him on 30R and thank you for the link, that was a hoot.

I heard AB & TF speak of his serious medical condition and how brave he is.

What a great comedian.
