Motherfucker took me out of the ghetto. That’s my dude, man. He’s been like a dad to me. I remember when I was on Saturday Night Live my first year and I wasn’t getting much. I was down; I was ready to quit. It was three o’clock in the morning, man, I’ll never forget. Makes me want to cry sometimes when I think about it. I love that man. I love that man. [long pause; starts to cry] I’m sorry, man. Excuse me. [another long pause] Son of a bitch … motherfucker’s good. I remember one time Lorne took me to his office, and he said, “Tracy, you are here not because you’re black. You’re here because you’re fucking funny, man.” [bursts into tears again; wipes face with shirt] Changed my whole perspective … They say every Jewish man is supposed to love one black motherfucker in this life. I’m glad Lorne Michaels chose me.
You need to listen to this interview with him at NPR too, it is seriously the most amazing thing ever.
if you don’t feel anything from this then you are numb from the diabeetus and should get your feet cut off.
