Tracy Morgan got TNT all hot-and-bothered last night in a pre-game chat on Inside the NBA. The 30 Rock star was asked about Tina Fey and Sarah Palin's looks by Charles Barkley and company and explained in his best serious voice "Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, she's good masturbation material."
Before the game was even over TNT had apologized for the line, issuing the statement: "It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments."
Which leads us to wonder... what were they expecting him to do? Have they ever seen this man before?
You can see the "gaffe" for yourself, here:
