By: Tyler Peterson Feb. 22, 2016
Starring for seven seasons on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning "30 Rock," Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for his role in the Supporting Actor category. He was also nominated for a Supporting Actor NAACP Image Award. The "30 Rock" cast also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series."
While on a standup comedy tour in 2014, Morgan was critically injured in a serious car accident that prevented the comedian from continuing to work and tour. After months of rehabilitation, Tracy expressed his grief for the incident as well as his goals to come back to the entertainment world.
Tracy's credits include a standup special for Comedy Central, his own HBO Special, "Black & Blue," 2013 Billboard Music Awards host, and starring alongside Al Pacino and Channing Tatum in the crime-thriller THE SON OF NO ONE which received Sundance Film Festival honors. He also acted in WHY STOP NOW, an official selection at Sundance and was a voice-actor in Jerry Bruckheimer's G-FORCE. He was also a voice-over actor on RIO, RIO 2, the Oscar-nominated film, BOXTROLLS, and more. Tracy authored the book I Am The New Black, and headlined the famed "New York Comedy Festival."
Continuously touring the country doing what he loves the most, stand-up comedy, Morgan has headlined across the country and abroad on various tours and festivals. He appeared on "Saturday Night Live" for seven seasons and created such memorable characters as "Astronaut Jones" and "Brian Fellows." After leaving SNL, Morgan went on to star in his own comedy series "The Tracy Morgan Show" and voiced "Spoonie Luv" on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers."
He recently returned to host Saturday Night Live in October 2015 surrounded by his 30 Rock co-stars Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer.
Morgan currently resides in New Jersey with his wife and their daughter.
