Tracy Morgan’s stand-up gig at New York’s Carnegie Hall on Friday night left some audience members disgusted and unwilling to stick it out to the bitter the end.
The “30 Rock” star was performing as part of the New York Comedy Festival when he launched into a litany of jokes that apparently crossed the line with several folks in the crowd.
“There was a continuous flow of people getting up and leaving throughout the show,” one witness told the paper.
Much of the discomfort came during a segment about the First Family.
“Obama is really changing the White House, because he and Michelle will have the first presidential sex tape out,” Morgan said from the stage. “Barack probably had Michelle in the window doggy-style. ‘Yes, Mr. President, yes Mr. President.'”
He gave this advice to male audience members: “You gotta stick your tongue in her f**king butthole…It’s give and take. If she gagging, you got to toss the salad.”
A Daily News reader who walked out wrote the newspaper saying, “I’m an aspiring standup and I went to the show cause I love Tracy on ‘SNL,’ ’30 Rock,’ etc. To call it a disappointment would be THE understatement of the century…This was his joke, I kid you not, ‘I bought my wife a glass coffee table so she could sh*t on it and I could watch from beneath it.’ Um, is that funny? No. It was bad and kinda sad.”
Morgan also took jabs at drugs, pornography and homosexuality (saying it’s “a choice,” which drew gasps).
But not all of the audience members were offended. Spike Lee, John Singleton and “Rock” co-star Jane Krakowski were all in the crowd — and gave a standing ovation.
