DG loves us some Tracy Morgan. I even met him one time—shook his hand and he asked me, “Feels good, lovin’ ya woman right?” Indeed. A classic episode, via Dlisted:

Tracy was on the banquette at Plumm in NYC, taking his top off and shaking that Hennessy gut when he suddenly realized he had lost his credit card, reports Page Six. Tracy made everyone stop and look for it.

After everyone looked everywhere, he finally admitted to his waitress that he’d found it in his pocket—right before asking her if he could father her baby. Which reminds me of this great piece in GQ by Jason Gay:

How close is Tracy Jordan to the real Tracy? Lorne Michaels says it’s “as close as Dean Martin’s character was to Dean Martin.” There’s been speculation that Morgan’s spoofing his old mentor, Martin Lawrence. But Morgan says he’s not doing Lawrence and claims Jordan is based on “my cousin Craig, who was nuts back in the day. He’d run down the street three times without underwear on.”

But sure, there’s some real Tracy in there, too. “We borrow a lot from Tracy’s amped-up public personality,” allows Fey. “The clearest distinction is that Tracy Jordan is mentally ill and Tracy Morgan is not.”

Some other classic Tracy Morgan moments are right here. Check out the last clip:

“You know, yesterday I bought one of them leather masks with the zipper right here [gesturing toward his mouth] and a zipper on the back,” adding, “somebody tonight is going to throw 2,000 grapes at my butt cheeks.”
