Tracy Morgan recalled his drug-pushing past on Conan Monday.

I sold crack, yeah, but I was a crack dealer with a heart of gold, he told host Conan OBrien . I would sell them crack and then feel sorry for them.

The former Saturday Night Live trouper said he would warn his customers that the stuff would kill them. I always kept my heart in it, he said.

Morgan, 49, has talked about his early years before and expressed remorse for turning to the drug trade as a youth. His new TBS show, The Last O.G. , provided a natural segue to discussing his personal history because he plays a drug dealer released from prison after 15 years.

In Mondays chat, the comedian transitioned into what seemed to be a mix of shtick and reminiscing. And there were a few jaw-dropping remarks about his refusal to wear a condom as well.
