Tracy Morgan Takes Savage Swipes At Jussie Smollett On 'Tonight Show'

"The Last O.G." star joked about getting a part on "Empire" and the Fox drama's unusual contract demand.

A colorfully clad Tracy Morgan made it clear that he sees no gray area in the Jussie Smollett case.

Appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ” Monday, “The Last O.G.” star jokingly declared that he had been given a part on Smollett’s show “Empire,” with one contract stipulation: “All I gotta do is not fake a hate crime,” he cracked.

In an off-the-wall bit about “the polar vortex” and the fair-weather habits of racists, the comedian ripped further into Smollett, who was excused of charges that he staged a racist and homophobic attack on himself. Chicago prosecutors said they still believe he’s guilty .

And Morgan clearly agreed, pointing to a Subway sandwich as evidence.
