My Take
Tracy Morgan is, to me, one of the most fearless comic voices America has produced. Coming up through Saturday Night Live and then turning Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock into a scene-stealing force earned him Emmy recognition, and that role felt so perfectly suited to his manic, unfiltered energy that it's hard to imagine anyone else playing it. What I respect most is the resilience: a Bronx kid who built a real career on stand-up and acting, lending his voice to films like Rio and Scoob! along the way, and earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has a star quality that feels completely his own, chaotic, warm, and impossible to ignore.
