'30 Rock' Star Tracy Morgan's Homophobic Rant During Standup Routine Draws Ire

NASHVILLE -- A man who was in the audience at a recent Tracy Morgan show in Nashville said that the well-known comedian and "30 Rock" actor went beserk when talking about how he'd treat a gay son: 'I'd kill him.'

Audience member Kevin Rogers, who is gay, wrote about the June 3 show on Facebook:

"I've been a big fan of his since his days at SNL. The show was your typical hysterical dick, cum and pussy humor... I have to say it was hilarious and well worth at least 40% of the $86 we spent per ticket to see him. I figured at some point the gay jokes would fly and I'm well prepared for a good ribbing of straight gay humor," Rogers wrote.

However, Rogers said that this didn't feel like humor; Morgan's whole demeanor changed when he started in on the gay jokes and that he seemed "truly filled with hate against us."

"He said if his son that was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man and not [he mimicked a gay, high pitched voice] or he would pull out a knife and stab that little N (one word I refuse to use) to death," Rogers wrote. "Tracy then said he didn't fucking care if he pissed off some gays, because if they can take a fucking dick up their ass... they can take a fucking joke.

Rogers said that about a dozen people walked out.

Truth Wins Out Social Media Director Evan Hurst said that if these allegations are true, Morgan went too far.

"Comedians have long pushed the envelope in tackling controversial subjects," he said. "Indeed, it's part of their job description, and good comedians are able to do this and keep everybody laughing at the same time. However, abject hatred directed at vulnerable kids is not comedy, by anyone's definition. If these reports are true, we expect a full explanation and apology."

I'm hoping against hope that this was taken out of context, but it doesn't sound like it. Disappointing.

Is he saying that he would be okay if his son was gay but didn't act effeminate?

Would that matter? Just asking.

Not to me at all. I would love my son even if he were just a giant gay eyeball.

But I have noticed some straight guys get particularly bent out of shape about effeminate gay guys.

Ugh, this is not surprising. I thought he was gay though. I know nothing about his life, is was an assumption on my part.
What a turd.

I just hate these "comedians" period. Lack of talent covered up with massive doses of F bombs and sexually graphic jokes. Was already old by the second season of Def Comedy Jam.

Give me Richard Pryor anyday, yeah he swore and had some risque stuff but at the same time it had some thought to it.

There has always been something that bothered me about him.

I'm kinda hoping he'll end up with an Emmy nomination in a category with Jesse Tyler Ferguson, NPH and Chris Colfer. Never gonna happen because I seriously doubt Morgan is going to get one, but still.

This man is not dealing with a full deck.

**thunder&lightning** · June 9th, 2011, 10:03 PM

might have issues with his own sexual orientation.

What an asshole. Sadly, he's not alone with that type of view.

He's lucky he even gets to do comedy for a living this ungrateful piece of shit. The audience was probably not laughing so he got mad and tried to shock them by saying something rude. Why not just drop his trousers and show them his tiny viena sausage, they'd drop to the floor laughing at that.
