Tracy Morgan, star of NBC’s Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning “30 Rock,” will be bringing his live stand-up show to The Joint this summer.

As a stand-up comic who has headlined across the country, Morgan was first introduced to television audiences in his role as “Hustleman” on the hit comedy series “Martin.” He went on to join “Saturday Night Live” in 1996 where he appeared for seven seasons and created such memorable characters as “Astronaut Jones” and “Brian Fellows.” After leaving SNL, Morgan went on to star in his own comedy series “The Tracy Morgan Show” and voiced “Spoonie Luv” on Comedy Central’s “Crank Yankers.”

Morgan currently stars on “30 Rock” along with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as “Tracy Jordan,” the unpredictable star of Lemon’s (Fey) hit variety show, “TGS with Tracy Jordan.” This year Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for this role, in the Supporting Actor category; he has in three past years also been nominated for a Supporting Actor NAACP Image Award. The “30 Rock” cast won in 2009 the Screen Actors Guild Award for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.”

This upcoming year will be a busy one for Morgan. First up is Kevin Smith’s COP OUT. In the dark feature, he stars with Bruce Willis as two cops given the grim tasks of locating a stolen baseball card to pay for a wedding, rescuing a kidnapped woman, and combating gangsters whose main goals are laundering money and elevating the death count in Brooklyn. In April, Morgan will star in the comedy DEATH AT A FUNERAL for Screen Gems. The film, a remake of the 2007 British movie of the same name, also features Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Zoe Saldana, and Danny Glover. The independent romantic comedy feature NAILED (from David O. Russell) in which Morgan also appears (alongside Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal) will be released later in 2010.
