The outrageously funny, heartbreaking, and amazing report of Tracy Morgan's go up from ghetto wiseass to superstar comedian.
Who's Tracy Morgan? The wildly unpredictable funnyman who rocketed to fame on Sunday Night time Live? The Emmy-nominated actor behind the sly and ingenious persona Tracy Jordan on the award-winning strike sitcom 30 Rock, whose turbulent personal life often mirrors that of his imaginary alter ego? Is he Chico Divine, the life span of the party--any party, anytime, everywhere, getting women pregnant just about everywhere he will go? Or is he a soulful, sensitive family man who surfaced from a hardscrabble ghetto upbringing and against all odds achieved superstardom, lifted a solid family, prevailed over the collection of lethal bad habits, and is still ascending new levels and getting into his own? The answer is: Tracy Morgan is all that. And then some. When he was only a boy living in the Coney Island tasks, being funny was about success. With the right snap, Tracy could shut down the playground bullies who beat up on him and his physically disabled older sibling. And with a outdoors enough prank, he could exact revenge on whoever stole his Pumas at the city pool. Later, being funny was about escape--from the untouchable sadness of his fathers loss of life, from the desperation of the drug dealers trade, from the life span and death fights waged on the roadways of the South Bronx in the age of crack. But these days being funny is about living his dream--a wish blessed in the comedy golf clubs of Harlem and came to the realization on shows like Martin and Sunday Night time Live, where he was a solid member for seven years, and in videos like The Longest Backyard and Half-Baked. With brutal credibility and his brand take-no-prisoners humor, Tracy tells the storyline of his go up to popularity, with all its highs and its own many lows--from the very public fights with alcoholic beverages and diabetes that threatened his profession and his life to the private and poignant end of his twenty-year relationship. In his singularly warped and excellent way he muses on family, love, gender, race, politics, ambition, and what it takes to bring the funny. Howlingly funny, uplifting, searing, and coming in contact with, I Am the New Black is a remarkable peek inside your brain of one of the very most engaging and defining comedians in our time.
