Tracy Morgan joked about being in a coma for eight days following his near-fatal 2014 crash. During an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Monday night, January 18, Tracy kicked off the interview by congratulating Jimmy Fallon on "beating David Letterman in the ratings."
When he found out that the retired talk show host was "not here no more," Tracy then told Jimmy, "I liked that dude! I'm going back in the coma." The comedian laid back on the sofa and drew huge laughs with the quip. Jimmy then said that it must be "weird" to miss things while in a coma.
Tracy agreed that "things are different" since waking up, adding, "Donald Trump is leading in the polls. I'm going back!"
Jimmy then asked Tracy if he had watched "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". The "Saturday Night Live" star perked up while talking John Boyega's role, "Hold up! One black dude in the whole galaxy! I'm pissed off, man! That was Lando Calrissian's nephew."
"He pulled some strings to get him in the cadets. They got him doing that crappy job. He left a good union job as a Stormtrooper. Good union job! I tried to get him an application for sanitation," he continued. "I'mma tell you something, man: Chewbacca's not good, man. He's behind in his child support payments right now. Everybody knows Chewbacca's in rehab right now!"
Tracy then shared his opinion about the "Rocky" movies. "Balboa lost that second fight. Apollo Creed carried that bum for 15 rounds in two movies," he told Jimmy. "Balboa lost that second fight!"
He continued, "I was watching a lot of TV during that whole drama, and I watched 'The Godfather' 150 times Let me tell you something: Sonny would have lived if he'd had an EZ Pass. He would have lived! He was a hothead!"
The comedian also mentioned his favorite actress, saying, "Nobody acts better than Barbra Streisand. Really! Yeah, I wish we could have got married, but it didn't work out. We had kids together, though. Barbra, I love you!"
During his appearance, Tracy also played The Pup Quiz with Jimmy and he got four puppies.
