Tracy Morgan was always pissed that his Saturday Night Live co-star Jimmy Fallon usually cracked up during sketches. He was always "laughing and all that dumb [bleep] he used to do," Morgan complains to Penthouse, according to "Page Six." "He wouldn't mess with me because I didn't [bleep]ing play that s--t. That's taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, 'Oh, look at me, I'm the cute one.' I told him not to do that s--t in my sketches, so he never did." Which is kind of the opposite of how we feel. We loved the fact that Jimmy could not keep a straight face in any sketch co-starring Horatio Sanz, and that sometimes he made his fellow cast members crack up too. In fact, one of our favorite sketches of all time owes most of its humor to Jimmy's uncontrollable giggling. If Fallon ever does end up replacing Conan, we hope it becomes a schtick. 'Cause that's kind of all he's got.
