Friday, October 28th, 2016Count Basie Theater, Redbank, NJ
Starring for seven seasons on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning "30 Rock," Morgan appeared opposite Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as "Tracy Jordan," the unpredictable star of Lemon's (Fey) hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." In 2009 Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for this role, in the Supporting Actor category. The "30 Rock" cast has also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series." The beloved series came to an end in January 2013.
As a stand-up comic who has headlined across the country, Morgan was first introduced to television audiences in his role as "Hustleman" on the hit comedy series "Martin." He went on to join "Saturday Night Live" in 1996 where he appeared 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." The last few years have been busy for Morgan as he balanced "30 Rock" with a busy movie career and continued to travel the country performing stand-up and selling out shows. With comedy always as his foundation, Morgan has begun tackling dramas and independent films. In 2010, he starred alongside Al Pacino and Channing Tatum in the crime-thriller THE SON OF NO ONE which received Sundance Film Festival honors. In August 2012, WHY STOP NOW with Jesse Eisenberg and Melissa Leo was also an official selection at Sundance. Tracy is excited to tape his new Hour Special in at the historic Count Basie Theater in Redbank, New Jersey.
