Morgan to Judge: I Fell Off the Wagon

Posted Sep 18th 2007 5:57PM by TMZ Staff

Tracy Morgan"30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan admitted in court today to consuming alcohol on August 4 -- a violation of his probation stemming from a DUI conviction.

As a result, Morgan was ordered to wear the SCRAM device an additional 80 days and complete 10 AA meetings by October 23.

If he violates his probation again, Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan tells TMZ that Morgan would go to County Jail for 30 days.

Morgan violated his probation in Los Angeles when he was arrested for D.U.I. on November 28 of last year in New York.

Tracy's rep, Matthew Hiltzik, tells TMZ: "Tracy's monitoring bracelet has consistently confirmed his sobriety. While the device's lone positive finding -- at a recent stand-up comedy club performance -- was contested, Tracy has decided to wear the bracelet for an extra month to further prove he's remained alcohol-free."

8. Haha!!! Gotta love the spin Tracy's rep is already doin to keep his lowlife client from appearing to be more of a moron than he is!

Uh, Hiltzik....actually Tracy DIDN'T decide to wear the device for another 30 days (blah, blah)...the COURT ordered him to do it.

13. rumor is that they had to give Morgan's character on 30 Rock the same name 'Tracy' as his real name cuz he was too stupid to remember to respond to lines otherwise (or maybe he was just wasted all the time)

14. You not only fell off the wagon, it drove over you with all four wheels and backed up and did it again!

Good. Let someone with real talent take his place on shows, clubs....the planet!

15. Wait a minute. I'm confused. If Tracy told the judge he "fell off the wagon," why is his spokesperson saying that he hadn't violated and had remained sober? Did I miss some technicality?
