30 Rock dramatizing Tracy Morgan controversy
Last year, comedian Tracy Morgan got into trouble for a homophobic rant during a standup routine in Nashville. Morgan was forced to apologize, and eventually the controversy faded away.
But just when you thought it was over for good, 30 Rock writers have decided to dramatize the event for an upcoming episode of the popular TV show.
"Well, you know how a lot of their episodes mirror their lives ... They've incorporated [Morgan's rant] into the Tracy Jordan storyline," said MSNBC's Thomas Roberts, who makes a cameo appearance on the show. "Liz Lemon writes Tracy's apology on the show and says he's not a homophobe, he's an idiot.
"That offends idiots, so while NBC is being picketed by the LBGT community, now it's also being picketed by idiots led by Denise Richards. She's the leader of the idiots."
And though we hate to admit it, the episode will probably be pretty funny.
