"None of the cast I came up with saw this future for me," reveals Morgan in 'I Am the New Black,' out next Tuesday. "All I have to say about that is, where's Chris Kattan now? Where's Cheri Oteri now? That b---- can't even get arrested."
But it wasn't just work at 'SNL.' Morgan goes into erotic detail describing an unofficial road trip to an illegal strip club called the Loft.
"I invited everyone to go down there one week," explains Morgan. "And Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and a few others came along. I didn't tell any of them what they were in for, so it was all cool when we got there. ... Then these two girls came out onstage and started [engaging in sex acts], and that just shut it down. All the grips and crew guys from 'SNL' were standing around and loving it, but my castmates took one look at that, turned right around and rushed out of there."
Morgan felt misunderstood by the 'SNL' cast. "I had my finger on the pulse of urban comedy, but when I brought my act to 'SNL,' those mother--------- just felt bad for me," confides Morgan. But he does have praise for his '30 Rock' co-star, Tina Fey. "Tina wasn't scared to come into my world and find the funny up in there. She's that kind of cool," he writes.
Morgan also delves into the deeply personal. Coping with diabetes, being estranged from his mother and losing his father to AIDS.
Tracy Morgan, 40, was discovered performing stand-up comedy at Harlem's Apollo Theater and was a member of 'SNL' from 1996 to 2003. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on '30 Rock' in 2009.

Umm, someone REALLY has to tell Tracy Morgan the TRUTH, and bring him back to REALITY. a) The man ISN'T funny (at ALL!). He can barely speak ENGLISH for Christ sake!..(I can't understand a WORD he says). b) He's a freakin CHARITY case... the idiots at 30 Rock hired him as a token.. I mean, let's get REAL here! The guy is TALENTLESS!!
SNL has stunk for a long time. Tina Fey is incredibly NOT funny as is Tracy Morgan. They need to quit being paid for being funny because they are not doing their job.
I just love when no-talent, clueless, ex-cast members totally skewer their fellow cast mates! Especially the ones who had very little to do, AND very little SKILLS with which to do it ... yet, the show lets them hang on for several extra years! I, honestly, can't remember 2 times I even SMILED at a Tracy Morgan skit, performance, or joke! Tina Fey, (NO, Tracy Morgan), is LUCKY Tina gave him a job ... or, no doubt, SHE would also have been SKEWERED! Better watch burning those bridges, Tracy!
tracy WHO? no one seems to think this moron is funny! maybe he should go back to harlem, were a few morons think he's funny sound like he must have been the token on snl he can't disappear from the face of the earth fast enough...just another no talent, big headed, self centered low life moron that is impressed with himself...hollywood, tv and movies already has hundreds just like him
I didn't want to say much other than ... SHUT UP ALL OF YOU FOOLS. I have to admit he (Tracy Morgan) is getting paid and you are more than likely unemployed with a big mouth.
Morgan is a pig. He is the type that thinks Obama being President somehow gives him privledge. Well hey, I'm white and all the previous Presidents gave me nuttin'!
Let's put it this way: Tracy Morgan is no Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock! I really can't comprehend why this dude gets work. You can barely understand him and lacks creativity (compared to Murphy's Gumby, Buckweat, and Mr. Robinson and Rock's stand up and Nat X). Dude should be grateful that he gets work and that SNL put up with him for so long. Complete waste.
im laughin at all the white people who cant wait to line up and take a shot. HATERS! he has a right to his opinion just like you do. accept it.
you dont know a thing about funny. so stop hating!! just sit back and watch the black man. you cant stop him! and that makes you white folks so mad.
your pro white attitude fuels your hatred. on more than one post i saw the typical stereotype, "cant speak, black, ghetto, calling him something thats not human." what a joke. if you could refrain from the race based insults, your views may have some credibility. but they come off as nothing more than hatred for all things black!
Afraid I must COMPLETELY disagree. He is just NOT FUNNY. The fact that he is black is irrelevant. Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Redd Fox, Moms Mabley = FUNNY !!! Mr. Morgan = NOT FUNNY.
NO ONE said anything about him being black..just that he's not funny...neither are you...and you seem to be the one with the racist attitude! If you think he's funny, then watch the fool
Wow, not 1 good comment. You'd think at least one person would find him at least amusing enough to stick up for him. Ok, you're right. I don't think he's funny either.
Tracy is a loser and only because Tina knew him did he get a shot at 30 Rock. If 30 Rock went off the air Tracy would be flipping burgers for a living.
The man is not funny unless the writer's give him great material
I'm following up on BigKell's statement. SNL hasn't been close enough to even SEE something funny since Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscapo(Spelling?) were on stage. They followed a group of legends and should be considered legends themselves. After them, NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZIPPO, AND ZILCH...
NIGHTPREY123, I WOULD NEVER DIS THE GREAT AFRICAN AMERICAN COMICS BY THINKING MORGAN SPOKE FOR HIS RACE. CHRIS ROCK USES PROFANITY, AND SEX AND THE "BLACK" EXPERIENCE, AND YOU LAUGH TILL YOU CRY.EDDIE MURPHY, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HIS COMEDY CHECK HIM OUT. HE WAS THE MAN.
He was funny once...he did a bit with (of all people) Britney Spears where he lived underneath the NYC city streets in the sewer. "Make a doo-doo pie" was a line that appealed to the child in me. I need only say it and I smile. Outside of that, Tracy was one half clip above Garrett Morriss...and Garrett was rarely funny (baseball been berry, berry good to me).

Tracy Morgan is not funny, why he was picked to be on SNL is beyond me. He would be unemployed if it wasn't for Tina Fey.
