SNL Roundup: Tracy Morgans Triumph
Mar 17th, 2009 by emerchant
Tracy Morgan’s Saturday Night Live Appearance this past Saturday was one of the best in recent memory.
Tracy got his start on the show and was famously underused. After leaving, he’s become one of the most in demand comedians around. His character on the hit show 30 Rock, aptly titled Tracy Jordan (wakka wakka), is basically an extension of himself. He’s fucking brilliant. Truly onto some next level stuff.
The show started off in fine form with a killer opening monologue that included not one but THREE fights, an incredibly badass footslide-kick, and Tracy punching out Tina Fey (who used to be the head writer during Tracy’s time there). His story about the fish tank was inspired by true and recent events for Tracy: a faulty light bulb above his shark(!) tank blew and caused huge damage to his 16th story condo on New York’s Upper West Side.
There are no results for tracy morgan.
Next up was my own personal character Brian Fellows. The character is seemingly retarded zoologist who has wild fantasies about the animals he’s interviewing. It’s hard to explain. The guy wears a pith helmet and lip gloss. It’s that kind of comedy. The cop station sketch was overlong, but he came back swinging with the Dateline sketch that has Saturday Night Live’s current secret weapon Bill Hader. Now, Bill is one to watch. He’s fucking HILARIOUS and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was SNL’s next breakout star. Tracy and Bill had amazing chemistry together.
