It’s nice to get back to the roots of things. The past few installments of the Videogum “Tracy Morgan Promise” have involved tell-all memoirs and tearful interviews on NPR. Both of those things are well and good, and they demonstrate the breadth and depth of Tracy Morgan, helping to bolster our original resolve in making a promise to relentlessly follow his career and public appearances. But it’s nice to get back to what brought us here in the first place, which is unhinged Bonkers Town TV interviews when Tracy is clearly in the T-Zone, just barely holding it together–barely even speaking English. That is the old magic. And that is what happened last night when Tracy appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman to promote the Kevin Smith movie Fat Seats Cop Out. Luckily, he only spends about 0 seconds talking about the movie, and spends the rest of the time talking about Valentine’s Day, the Olympics, and being raised by Lee Remick.

Tracy Morgan is a lunatic. PROMISE KEPT!

You have made me the proud vicarious father figure of your fulfilled imaginative obligations, Tracy!
I used to think Tracy Morgan played an exaggerated comic caricature of himself on 30 rock. But I think he might actually be toning it down for that show.
Going to Gator World is a euphemism. D-Litty knows what Tracy’s sayin’.
Stove Top is sweet like alligator meat.
That’s a white myth, like Larry Bird or Colorado.
But there ARE 31 letters in the white alphabet.
Tracy Morgan is like your crazy uncle. Except better. And more Tracyish.
Somebody will need to explain to IT why there is chewed-up sandwich stuck on my screen and in my keyboard, because “Oprah” = epic spit-laugh.
If crazy were weighed in pounds Tracy Morgan would totes need to purchase two seats.
I wish Tracy Morgan were my friend.
If he had won that emmy he’d be one step closer to that EGOT
I think this guy is partly bipolar and partly putting on an act. I saw him on an old episode of Punk’d one time where they were pretending that they were going to tow his car away and he could could not have acted more normal and low-key about it. Then again that was before 30 Rock so he might have just been depressed about where his career was.
No he knew he was being Punk’d and therefore Punk’d Topher Grace’s homie A Kuddy by acting like how a normal person would react to the situation.
TRACY MORGAN: THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND
And now we see the limits of the Videogum Reset Button.
THE REALITIES ARE CONVERGING!
Tracy Morgan is the grand marshall in the Crazy Pride parade in my head.
Tracy Morgan is a stabbing robot.
I don’t like it when Tracy Morgan doesn’t take his shirt off in an interview.
Why do I get the feeling that there’s a little blue dude waiting in the wings of this interview? Did Alec Baldwin somehow threaten Dave with doing shows in Kandahar every year until the war on terror was won unless Tracy went on this show? He probably did, that black Irish bastard.
Tracy is very funny in this interview. He has a bit of a Mr. Grinch smile though.
Was he always like this? Or just since 30 Rock? I think that’s what being pretend married to Shari Shepard will do to you.
