30 Rock Is Using Tracy Morgan's Real-Life Crazy Local News Clip

Remember when Tracy Morgan acted strangely on a Chicago morning show a few years ago? It was huge:

Haha, ugh, I cannot STAND the anchor-guy egging him on in that clip. Anyway, 30 Rock is going to incorporate this video in some way into their April 23rd show, which is weird, but we trust them, don't we? Everyone's trying to save money these days. The only downside is one less Tracy Morgan/Jordan televised social-norms-breakdown. (Via Warming Glow.)

Ugh. WGN is the worst. The guy in the middle is named Larry Potash. Potash. For reals.

I like how he gives a shoutout to every famous black person in Chicago, then asks if there are any black people in Schaumburg. Answer: no. That show would've been amazing.

Whaaaa? The WGN Morning show is the reason I get out of bed in the morning. I've never seen a less professional or more entertaining news program. Larry Potash is a local treasure. I once went to the Michigan Ave tree lighting parade just because the WGN Morning Show people were in it.
