Tracy Morgan obviously didn’t learn his lesson when he decided to make homophobic jokes and offend the whole LBGT community because he has now decided to make jokes about “retarted” people. Yes, it looks like he is going to be going on another apology tour.
Just weeks after making homophobic remarks during a comedy show in Nashville the 42-year-old comedian (I use that word lightly now) got up on stage at a comedy club in New York over the weekend to offend the mentally disabled. “Don’t ever mess with women who have retarded kids,” he said before continuing with “them young retarded males is strong. They’re strong like chimps.”
Then the 30-Rock star decided to tell a story about a teen girl he once had a romantic relationship described her as “crippled” because she had a prosthetic arm, a mechanical larynx and a portable dialysis machine.
Earlier in the night he got on stage and said there is something on his mind that he can’t share with the audience because he “just got out of controversy, man. This is diabolical.” Well I hope he is ready for more controversy because I’m sure another shit-storm is going to be following him around now.
At the end of the show Tracy said “I love you all so much, did I tell you that tonight? I’ve been in trouble lately, and this was big for me that you all came out.” I wonder how long it’s going to be until the apology? What are your thoughts on this?
In a true “Did he just say that?” moment, ’30 Rock’ star Tracy Morgan set the Twitterverse on fire Thursday night with lewd on-air comments about Sarah Palin, and broadcaster TNT is not happy about it.
According to USA Today, TNT issued an apology within minutes of being contacted by incredulous reporters.
In a statement, Turner spokesman Jeff Pomeroy said, “It’s unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments. We apologize for any embarrassment or offense it may have caused.”
The comments came during Morgan’s appearance on ‘Inside the NBA,’ before the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat game at Madison Square Garden. Kenny Smith asked Morgan to settle an argument he said he and co-host Charles Barkley “have all the time. … Tina Fey or Sarah Palin?”
What Smith thought Morgan was going to say after that is anyone’s guess, but as Morgan was mulling it over, Barkley quipped, “Sarah Palin, she’s a good-looking woman, isn’t she?” (Hey, who knew Barkley had a thing for the former Alaska governor?)
And that’s when Morgan dropped the M-bomb: “Let me tell you about Sarah Palin. She’s good masturbation material.”
As he talked about fantasizing about Palin, Smith and Barkley laughed nervously and an uncomfortable-looking Ernie Johnson tried to change the subject. There’s been no word from Palin yet, but it seems likely that Morgan won’t be asked to appear on another live broadcast any time soon.

An apartment belonging to “30 Rock” star Tracy Morgan caught fire early this morning … and the source of the fire was a bunch of fish.
We’re told the fire started after a light bulb in one of Tracy’s fish tanks busted, which ignited the blaze. ALL OF THE FISH SURVIVED!
The fire did extensive damage. We’re told Tracy was home at the time but, like the fish, he wasn’t injured. FDNY responded three minutes after getting the call at 8:34 AM.
