Top 10 Tracy Morgan Films
By: Angelica Stephens
Tracy Morgan was born November 10th, 1968 in The Bronx, New York. The once underdog had a hard life growing up and made some poor decisions, but he later rose to the top and turned his life around for the better. His father left the home when Morgan was only six due to a drug addiction and later on died from HIV when Morgan was nineteen. Morgan took the news of his father’s death very hard and dropped out of High school to marry his girlfriend at the time, Sabina, and help raise their child together. He then sold Cocaine as he struggled to take care of his family.
Morgan started off his career as a stand-up comedian in the streets of New York, after his best friend died. He later on debuted on Television on Martin , a comedy series on HBO, in 1992. He then starred in several films such as Are we there yet and Rio . Morgan also was part of the Saturday Night Live cast from 1996 until 2003. As a Saturday Night Live cast member, Morgan was known for his impersonations, including ones of Aretha Franklin and Oprah Winfrey. In 2003 Morgan came out with his own show The Tracy Morgan Show , however, it ended after the first season. In 2009, Morgan hosted Saturday Night Live and in 2011 he appeared as a guest on the Saturday Night Live Christmas program. From 2006 until 2013 Morgan played Tracy Jordan on the NBC show, 30 Rock , which was a reflection of himself. In 2013, Morgan hosted the Billboard Music award show.
