TNT Apologizes for Tracy Morgan's Sarah Palin Remark

Don't blame this one on Charles Barkley. Was this Howard Stern's idea or did it come straight from Tracy Morgan? We think Howard told Tracy to say this and they laughed about it later...

Anyway, is what Tracy Morgan said that far from the truth! How else do you account for her popularity among conservatives in this country. It surely isn't her brain that makes her presidential material in their eyes. In any event what really matters is that the New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat in the Garden 93-88.

TNT has released a statement, apologizing for Tracy Morgan’s crude remark about Sarah Palin on last night’s Inside the NBApregame show: “It’s unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments. We apologize for any embarrassment or offense it may have caused.”

During yesterday’s live broadcast, co-hosts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley handed 30 Rock‘s Morgan a microphone and asked him to settle a bet: Tina Fey or Sarah Palin? “Me and him have this argument all the time, ” crowed Smith, referring to Barkley. “[Morgan's] the only one who can settle it. Tina Fey or Sarah Palin?” They were clearly not asking which woman was smarter or faster in a race.

Morgan responded as he would if he were on stage. “Yo, let me tell you something about Sarah Palin. She’s good masturbation material.” Co-host Ernie Johnson quickly pulled down the curtain, saying “I want to thank Tracy Morgan for stopping by.” Source

  1. You couldn't be more of a hack if you tried. Blame a guy you don't like for "making" a guy you do like say something that was controversial.

    What does that say about Tracy Morgan if it were true? That's he's just a puppet and will do whatever he's told by a radio host?

    Have you ever seen Tracy speak? He says some pretty outlandish things to get a reaction.

    In short, quit writing. Then hang yourself.

  2. Before you get your panties in a bunch. We were being facetious. Use the search button at the top of this blog and search Howard Stern and then figure out if we like Stern or not. Thanks for the comment... :)

Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
