Tracy Morgan

During his seven years on "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ), actor and stand-up comedian Tracy Morgan rose to fame playing several memorable characters, including Astronaut Jones, a retro lounge-singing space traveler infatuated with female aliens, and impersonating Mike Tyson, Star Jones and Busta Rhymes. Morgan was a fearless comic who was always performing whether or not cameras were rolling, After "SNL," he starred in the family sitcom "The Tracy Morgan Show" (NBC, 2003-04), and continued doing stand-up. He was also tapped for supporting roles in features like "Head of State" (2003) and "Little Man" (2006). Morgan landed the role of a lifetime when he was cast in "30 Rock" (NBC, 2006-2013), alongside former "SNL" colleague Tina Fey. Morgan shined as Tracy Jordan, the impulsive, demanding star of a late-night sketch comedy show-within-a-show. The series' critical success reignited his career, leading to Morgan appearing in big screen comedies and voicing characters in animated films, where audiences continued to love his unpredictable, loose cannon persona.
