Tracy Morgan To Star As Former Football Pro In NBC Comedy Pilot From Tina Fey

Tracy Morgan is headed to the gridiron to reunite with his old 30 Rock pals.

Morgan will star as a former pro football player in an NBC comedy pilot from Tina Fey, TVLine has learned. In the untitled single-camera comedy, Morgan plays "a disgraced former football player on a mission to rehabilitate his image," per the official logline.

Morgan and Fey will serve as executive producers along with fellow 30 Rock alums Robert Carlock and Sam Means, who co-wrote the pilot. Morgan played Tracy Jordan alongside Fey's Liz Lemon on 30 Rock, which ended a seven-season run on NBC in 2013.

Morgan is also set to star in Paramount+'s The Neighborhood spinoff Crutch, which earned a series order last May and is slated to premiere later this year. But his deal allows him to star in both projects in the future.

After being a Saturday Night Live cast member from 1996 to 2003, Morgan played erratic actor Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock, earning an Emmy nomination in 2009 for best supporting actor in a comedy. Since then, Morgan has starred in The Last O.G., which ran for four seasons on TBS, along with guest appearances on The Twilight Zone and The Santa Clauses.
