-Let's talk about "The last O.G."
Congrats, season 2 premiere, you and Tiffany Haddish.
It's a great premise. -Tiff, Tiff, I love you, baby.
-If you haven't seen the show, it's a genius idea.
Did you come up with this idea? -This is me.
This is -- "The Last O.G.," the name "Last O.G."
is based on my boy that died
in the accident with me, Jimmy Mack.
-Yeah. -This is for you, Jim.
he was my last O.G. My first O.G. was my daddy.
-Yeah.
-'Cause I swam around in his nuts.
[ Laughter ]
Never heard nobody like me on the show.
He's my first O.G.!
He was my first O.G. That was my Ben Kenobi.
[ Laughter ]
He took me to the Dagobah system.
[ Laughter ]
I dated a girl one time that looked just like R2-D2.
[ Laughter ]
-I don't think that's -- [ Laughter ]
That's not even R2-D2. That's C-3PO you're doing.
-No, C-3PO! -Yeah, yeah.
-Her sister looked like R2-D2.
[ Laughter, cheers, applause ]
-Uh...basically, you play a guy that went to prison
for many years -- From Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, right?
-Yeah. -And then you come back --
After you come back from prison
and the whole neighborhood has changed.
-Everything is gentrified. -Yeah.
-Which is true. Like, I was in Harlem.
-Yeah. -I was up in Harlem last week.
And I seen this white couple pushing a stroller, whistling.
Now, I'm black. I was in Harlem.
I was scared to death. [ Laughter ]
And they was whistling.
I don't even know how to whistle.
[ Blowing ] [ Laughter ]
I don't know how to whistle. -No.
-Whistling is for white people and Snow White's dwarfs.
[ Laughter ]
-Really great words of wisdom. This is unbelievable.
I love hearing this stuff.
I want to say, also, about this --
-There's some good stuff in there.
-I'll tell you what I really love about this book.
-What you love about this book, Jim?
-I like that at the end, you give back.
You give back in this book.
And it tells you some foundations to go to.
About the prison system and about incarceration,
coming back into real life.
-I just read it in a garden in Brooklyn last week.
So that's what I did. Three parks in Brooklyn.
-Yeah. -So we gave TBS
a number-one show, and they asked me,
"What do you want, Mr. Morgan?"
I said, "I want to fix my neighborhood up."
So that's what I'm doing. [ Cheers and applause ]
And maybe I get The Roots, Quest -- maybe we can give out
some turkeys on Thanksgiving.
We gotta get back to giving. -Yeah.
-We gotta get back to giving.
You know, I remember, just getting a second chance.
We say that all the time on "Last O.G."
Second chances is a beautiful thing.
So, everybody out there, y'all got to know
that love and forgiveness is the biggest thing in the universe,
even those who trespass on upon you.
[ Cheers and applause ] Forgive them.
Forgive them. You ain't got to mess with them.
The hardest part about my accident
was forgiving the driver. -Yeah.
-I had to pray to God for that kind of strength.
But when it was done, it was done.
14 months later, I was hosting "SNL."
-That's right. -I was up there with my family.
-I was. -I was with my family, you.
So that's what it's about.
I love everybody in this building, man.
-Yeah, we love you right back. We love you.
-Period, man. -We love you.
I want to show a clip. Here's Tracy Morgan
and Tiffany Haddish in "The Last O.G."
Season 2 premieres tomorrow night at 10:30, on TBS.
Check this out.
-No. I wrote this one asking you to put some money on my books.
Nope, nope, not this one.
I wrote this one asking you
to send me some nasty pictures of yourself.
-[ Chuckles ]
-And, nope.
I wrote this one 'cause I was mad at you
for not sending nasty pictures of yourself.
Oh, hell no.
This was nasty pictures of me.
-Who took those? -Don't worry about it.
-[ Laughs ] Stick around, everybody!
Tracy Morgan!
