If the writer’s strike doesn’t end soon, you might want to light a candle for Tracy Morgan of
30 Rock.
All seven of Morgan’s Thanksgiving week shows at comedy club Caroline’s on Broadway sold out, but unfortunately ticket sales and positive reviews aren’t mutually exclusive. Morgan still had more than 30 minutes left in his 90-minute Nov. 24 show when audience members began walking out.According to a Caroline’s employee, dissatisfaction with the
Saturday Night Live alum was spreading like staph as the week progressed. “Lots of people have been walking out early. I think people expected Tracy Jordan, not Morgan,” the employee said, referring to Morgan’s
30 Rock persona. The main difference between the two? Jordan is funny while Morgan just thinks he is.
Although Morgan's recent stand-up act fell faster than Beyonce as she tumbled down a flight of stairs during her sold-out concert in Orlando, Florida this summer, the comedian has managed to save his marriage after his estranged wife decided to take him back. Sabina, Morgan's wife of 22 years, has called off her divorce plans - just in time for the holidays. She reportedly told the troubled comic, who she kicked out of their home following a string of legal problems and drunken incidents, that she was keen for a reconciliation on his 39th birthday on November 10th. A source says, "Sabina let him return home on the condition that he stay sober... Now, they'll all be together for the holidays."
