- (10 Apr 2018) TRACY MORGAN GETS HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME STAR
Comic actor Tracy Morgan got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday (10 APRIL 2018) with support from Martin Lawrence, who gave him his first break in showbiz, and Jordan Peele, who is producing his latest TV series.
"When I was a poor kid growing up in the projects in Brooklyn, I never dreamed I would have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," he said. "And now that I'm here, I have to tell you, I feel pretty comfortable. No, I'll tell you why: because of the smell of weed and stale urine, just like being in the projects, man. Just like weed and stale urine. I'll tell you what would really make me feel at home is if somebody spray-painted graffiti on my star."
The ceremony came nearly four years after a traffic crash that left Morgan - best known for "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" -- in a coma for two weeks. It was June 7, 2014, when a Wal-Mart truck slammed into the limousine Morgan was riding in. The crash killed a close friend and fellow comedian, and left Morgan with broken bones and brain damage.
"This man right here is a legend. He is going down in history," said "Get Out" writer-director Jordan Peele, who is executive producing Morgan's new TBS series "The Last O.G." He recounted a meeting with the 49-year-old performer two years ago.
"At one point in this meeting, this meeting - this breakfast that we had, he looks over at the other end of the Four Seasons and he goes - you know who that is, Jordan? You know who that is? I was like no, who is it? That's Larry Flynt. He goes, you want to meet Larry Flynt? I'm like, no. He's like, let's go. So we walk over to Larry Flynt's table," Peele said. "He goes Mr. Flynt, I just want to say, your work helped me through a very hard time. If there is anything you need from me, I'll be there for you. Mr. Flynt looks up at Tracy and with all the love in his heart, he just looks at Tracy and he goes, 'Ahhhhhhhhh.'"
Morgan said Peele's comedy sketches helped him "speed up my healing process." Lawrence met Morgan at Def Comedy Jam and gave him a role on his 1990s comedy series "Martin."
Morgan said the star - the 2,633rd on the Walk of Fame - was an important milestone in his life.
"This is the culmination of many years of work and trying to be a good person in this world. So I just think the chambers of commerce of Hollywood for immortalizing my name. Long after I'm gone, my great, great, great grandkids grandkids can walk up to my star and say that's my grandfather. So that's the foundation. That's important to me," he said.

Loyalty and raw talent goes a long way he a true champion
Just what I was going to post.
That interview and this is where Tracy shows his serious and sensitive side.
@@renaissanceman165 lol classic
@@kingmotley504 right
Martin Lawrence has probably done more for comedy than anybody else. He's the true success of Russell Simmons and Def Jam facts. He found so many comedians its not even funny and shared his spot. Super humble plus he use to rip through the crowd if you sat in the front you got picked on.
Martin watched so many comedians he gave a chance who were underneath him when he was big become big stars. He saw talent in them when they were nobody
I know it's about Tracy, but damn Martin looked good here. Always excited to see him doing well, for everything he did for the people.
Hustle man finally hustled his way to the hall of fame! 🔥 🔥 ✊🏾
I know, right...
That boy Martin all slimmed down like he ready for bad boys 3
Justin Buycks I ganruntee the filming it now

Martin Lawrence wearing a McDonalds employee uniform, lol
That's good for Tracy,he deserves it. God bless that brotha.
"Na that was my brother bobby!"
I can’t believe he got a star before Martin, all love but but Martin hosted Def Comedy Jam and introduced so many stars we know today. I wonder whats needed for someone to earn a star in Hollywood.
I can’t believe it took his son to turn him onto Key and Peele. With that said, THANK YOU to his son. Because that was the birth of “The Last OG” collaboration. Just goes to show how strong people can turn lemons into lemonade. Tracy is an inspiration. And I know now that when I saw him live doing stand up in Boston (2005), with my ex who bought me the tix, was the right thing to do. Why? Because she and I didn’t speak for months after we broke up. After the show I noticed her body was a little different. And it all made sense as to why she paid all that money to get me there. So she could inform me I got her pregnant! True story. SERIOUSLY.
Much deserved anyone who hasn't watched the last OG need to watch it hilarious as hell
His son looks just like him, slitting image of Tracy wowwwww never seen him til now, glad made it out the PJs my dude Tracy
I wonder how many of the main stream are aware, or familiar with him from his much heavier, preSNL, "Hustle Man" days? He will always be Hustle Man to me. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Much deserved 💯💯🙏🙏 he never forgot who helped him get there salute to Martin
AND, NOW It's Martin Lawrence's flowers with his own Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! April 2023
Would absolutely love it if Martin and Tracy Morgan did a movie directed by Jordan Peele. A Jordan Peele role would be a bonus in said movie. 😂❤
Congratulations all the hard work and the laughter that you have brought pick up the pieces come on y'all have to help me pump up my man up go ice pick check the clarity just a little funny things Tracy Morgan would say God bless
This man deserve it... Team Tracy...

How does Martin not have a star? Like what’s the criteria to get a star? I know I sound like a hater right now but much love to Tracy n all that. The star to me comes across as a hall of fame type of thing, but it’s so many people that deserve one.
Congratulations to him
RIGHT ON.
Hussle Man is Legit Now Folks Lol BLESSINGS MY GUY
Well deserved 👏
Tracy Morgan got a star before Martin?! Never even knew this !!!!
I'm glad, you commented on this... I was like waaat? But I was reading, something.. That you have to BUY the STAR! They just don't give it to you.. And it cost $300,000!!
Tracy Morgan just told the story how Martin helped launch his career after appearing on Def Comedy and creating the iconic Brother Man character on the Martin Show. So how did he get a star before Martin?? Just saying?
