People oftentimes assumeTracy Morganis salute or stone to the bejesus . This is absurd to me , and cruel , too . In insinuating this , these people ( get ’s call them " straw men " ) undervalue a comedian who over the last several years – but especially since he ’s literally ( both on and off photographic camera ) morphed into his character reference Tracy Jordan from30 Rock – has become something of a home gem .

" The path I dunk on you is go to look maverick . “Come again ?
What Kaufman had over Tracy is an accumulation of personae . Right now , Tracy ’s only got one , and effective as it is , it might not be capable to hold him that much longer . Gallagher only had one banknote , and although watermelon vine shattering had surprisingly prospicient legs , where is he now ? Tracy involve a second act . I hope he ’s developing it . In the meantime , it ’s belike best to look out this again :
