Tracy Morgan is an actor most known for being a cast member of Saturday
Night Live from 1996 to 2003.
One of his recurring SNL characters was Brian Fellow, host of "Brian
Fellow's Safari Planet." The introduction for the sketch always ended with the
following:
"Brian Fellow is not an accredited zoologist, nor does he hold an advanced
degree in any of the environmental sciences. He is simply an enthusiastic young
man with a sixth grade education and an abiding love for all of God's
creatures...share his love tonight on Brian Fellow's Safari Planet!"
A similar sketch was "Astronaut Jones", which is most memorable for its
catchy theme song played while Morgan saunters across the screen in his space
suit while carrying his suitcase. Other characters include, Dominican Lou,
Bishop Don "Mack" Donald (from Pimp Chat), and Woodrow. Morgan is also credited
with impressions of Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Maya Angelou, Mike Tyson,
Judge Greg Mathis, and Star Jones.
Morgan had a brief stint with his own show, The Tracy Morgan Show in 2003
which was cancelled after one season.
In 2003, he was on Punk'd, after his car was towed from the valet
parking.
Tracy has also done many movies including the 2005 remake The Longest Yard,
Are We There Yet?, Head of State, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Tracy can be heard as Spoonie Luv in the Comedy Central television program
Crank Yankers.
