Unfortunately, like most african americans before him, Tracy Morgan is underused on SNL. To be great on SNL, you need to be able to write. None of the african americans on SNL wrote very good scetches except Eddie Murphy, of course. And Eddie was so talented all the other writers wanted to write for him. Garret Morris had his moments-"Get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see" and "Garrett Morris for the hard of hearing". Chris Rock had moments, too. But Tracy Morgan does the wild-crazy eyes angry black man so well, that is all they let him do.
But the Weekend Update is the best; I'd go so far as to say that Fey and Fallon are second only to Dennis Miller. And they may eventually surpass Miller as well, in my book. Who can forget "Gay Hitler"?
