Tracy Morgan is a man whose mind continuously forges forward, mining the bizarre and wickedly funny, dropping a nonsensical comment into conversation, then playing the laughs by going back to add tangential information. He’s a man likely to let loose with “Lot of people don’t know I fought one of my sharks yesterday” without context or subsequent clarification, instead relying on his delivery and deadpan eyes to carry it off. Jordan may appear to work in free fall, but his seemingly genuine love for his cohorts on 30 Rock (on which he plays Tracy Jordan, a character based on himself) laces his antics with a warmth that grounds the spazziness. Presented with a poisonous lionfish by Jimmy Fallon while a guest on his Late Night show, Morgan said, “He tells Tracy Morgan, ‘Don’t touch it,’ knowin’ that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m like a child!” A quick-witted, warm, intelligent child whose star is clearly not done rising.
