Tracy Morgan Biography
New York-born Saturday_Night_Live cast member Tracy Morgan memorably spoofed everyone from Fat Albert to Tiger_Woods' father during his time on the long-running comedy television staple. Working in mostly bit roles until a scathingly incisive skit in which he claimed that his biggest role each week was the guy waving in the background during the closing credits, Morgan then began a streak of standout characters that quickly placed his distinctive mark among his fellow cast members.
Morgan appeared on television's Martin before joining the cast of SNL in September 1996, later appearing in 3rd Rock From the Sun and in such films as Half_Baked (1998) and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001). With his film career picking up momentum with such comedies as 30 Years to Life and Frank McKlusky, C.I., it appeared that Morgan would enjoy a healthy career away from his Saturday_Night_Live home. Morgan appeared in the Chris_Rock-directed comedy Head of State, and was the star of the short-lived sitcom The Tracy Morgan Show. He also contributed regularly to the prank-phone-calls-with-puppets series Crank_Yankers. In addition to a video release compiling his most memorable moments from Saturday_Night_Live, Morgan appeared in Adam_Sandler's remake of The_Longest_Yard, and played a role in the Wayans brothers comedy Little_Man. Morgan was one of many contributors to Bob_Saget's spoof Farce of the Penguins. In the fall of 2006, he joined the cast of 30_Rock, former SNL head writer Tina_Fey's new sitcom about the backstage antics at a similar live sketch comedy show. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
