Tracy Morgan appears on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight, which won't be as comfy for Fallon as you might think. See, even though Jimmy Fallon and Tracy Morgan worked together on SNL, they are not BFF's. Or don't you remember what Tracy said about Jimmy in the October 2007 issue of Penthouse?
The "30 Rock" star tells the October issue of Penthouse that his castmates were bothered during skits by Fallon's "laughing and all that dumb [bleep] he used to do - he wouldn't mess with me because I didn't [bleep]ing play that s - - t. That's taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, 'Oh, look at me, I'm the cute one.' I told him not to do that s - - t in my sketches, so he never did."
Oh dip. Tracy must have seen how harsh that sounded, so he was softening his remarks a couple weeks later, in an interview with The Onion's A.V. Club:
It wasn't meant to be malicious or anything, just an observation. It was annoying to everybody, I guess. I just said it. I don't know if he knew he was doing it. I don't have anything against Jimmy Fallon. I love Jimmy Fallon. He's my dude.
Aw, Tracy shouldn't have made nice. We want a battle. No violence, mind you; we'd just love to see them both come out with their guns blazing in a comedy shootout. We suspect The Greatest Talk Show Guest Alive would be the only one left standing.
