Is it just me, or did Tracy Morgan get served notice between the lines of Tina Fey's statement to the press?

I'm glad to hear that Tracy apologized for his comments. Stand-up comics may have the right to "work out" their material in its ugliest and rawest form in front of an audience, but the violent imagery of Tracy's rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community.

It also doesn't line up with the Tracy Morgan I know, who is not a hateful man and is generally much too sleepy and self-centered to ever hurt another person.

I hope for his sake that Tracy's apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian coworkers at "30 Rock", without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket.

The other producers and I pride ourselves on "30 Rock" being a diverse, safe, and fair workplace.

That's a foot to ass statement. I don't think he's fired, but I do think he'd better come back to work groveling.

What a nice statement. I agree with David tho, but I would say more like "he got SERVED" not "he got served notice."

Maybe I was thinking "put on notice"? I didn't take it that he was actually fired, but that he's being made aware that his behavior is going to be scrutinized very closely when shooting begins and his boss is Not Happy.

Definitely this. She did make mention of his paycheck.

Yes, it sounds like he's "on notice" not been given notice.

yes. definitely. put on notice. he is replaceable.
