there's a great tracy morgan standup special...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvwHcaIus6Y
in front of a champagne-on-tables/white people audience in san francisco or somewhere, where he seems to be purposely digging up the least appropriate material (gagging on dicks and crazy mike from the projects and heroin addiction) for the room. it's an amazing performance. even better for the heckles, including "take a shower!"

i guess i'm in the minority here. i fucking hate that 30 rock tracy jordan bullshit and think his standup is where it's at.

"I hope for his sake that Tracy's apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian co-workers at '30 Rock', without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket."

Yes, because Tina Fey and the 4th place broadcast network in the country can bring about the end of a problem that is thousands of years old.

i thought about that norm macdonald bit when this happened too. the difference is he did't say he'd stab his kid in the stomach.
it's not cool but it's not suddenly unfunny for being offensive, you know?
true, but, from the accounts of this, it doesn't sound like a lot of people thought it was funny at all; i know there is no video, but the person who reported it claimed morgan's entire demeanor changed and it no longer seemed like he was telling a joke. I'm going to assume that some of that is probably overblown and not really the case; however, it also doesn't sound like this is new, I read elsewhere that there was a big walk-out on one of Morgan's performances in NYC in 2009 over the same material (why it didn't blow up then I'm not sure).

from Chris Rock:
Tracy morgan is a tad off we all know that so when tracy says something i usually don't take it anymore serious than i would a statement from gary busey or flavor flav .when i first heard the statement i thought it was offensive but it also reminded me of my father saying ill kill you if you ever bring home a white girl but after reading everything tracy said . wow i get it that shit wasn't called for and i don't support it at all. now can i please go to the tony awards without getting my ass kicked .June 11, 2011

idk tracy was obviously trying to be offensive and in a "character" but you should still be FUNNY when doing standup
“if gays can take a dick up their ass, they can take a joke.”-- this is decent enough
threatened to stab his own son to death if he ever came home from school and told his father he was gay.-- wtf this is not funny

seems like this stuff was totally not in line with tracy jordan black-people-wear-jewellery material and totally in line with aggressive cathartic material that he's done for a long time. the reports from the show are all...
Rogers says before the rant, Morgan’s humor (specifically his comments about enjoying when women choke during oral sex) had proved too much for many audience members. But once Morgan launched into his anti-gay comments, more began to leave. Rogers said he stayed for the entire show. “I had to fight myself. I don’t really give in easily and I thought…if I stand up and leave, he wins. It shows him, ‘Hey, I got to you.’ He didn’t get to me. I wasn’t angry; I was just disappointed.I thought he was more intelligent than that,” he says.
you know...

I had hoped—no cynicism intended—that settling the lawsuit would speed up his recovery and maybe begin to return him to the spotlight a bit. Still hoping that's the case, but looks like it's going to be a long process.
