Tracy Morgan On Being 'The New Black'

Tracy Jordan doing a real interview and not a character?  & he gets emotional?  NPR gets Tracy to open up about his life growing up with a drug addicted father, his struggles adjusting on SNL, and how he got into comedy:

Morgan didn’t turn to comedy until after his best friend was murdered. “He would say to me, ‘Yo, Tracy, man, you should be doing comedy.’ A week later, he was murdered. And that for me, that was like my Vietnam. I had my survival guilt when I started to achieve success. Why I made it out and some guys didn’t.”
