Tracy Morgan was a brazen and unpredictable presence on SNL for seven seasons. His comedy came from a place of pure, unfiltered absurdity. He gave us the bizarre, non-sequitur-spouting animal expert Brian Fellow and the perpetually confused Astronaut Jones. Morgan wasn’t just playing characters; he seemed to be channeling a different, hilarious dimension. He left SNL and found even greater fame as the unhinged movie star Tracy Jordan on Tina Fey‘s 30 Rock, a role that was essentially an amplified version of his own comedic persona.
