'30 Rock' star Tracy Morgan has kidney transplant, 2nd cast member to have transplant

[Liberal_in_LA]

"30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan is recovering from a kidney transplant.

A statement released Monday by Morgan's publicist says Morgan is doing well and taking "much-needed time" to recover from the surgery earlier this month.

The statement says the actor-comedian looks forward to returning to work on the New York-based NBC sitcom after the holidays.

The 42-year-old Morgan plays the goofy star of a TV show on "30 Rock." Another "30 Rock" cast member, Grizz Chapman, also received a new kidney earlier this year.

NBC didn't immediately respond to a query about how Morgan's surgery would affect production of the sitcom.

Tracy Morgan entertains millions of people. Please, leave the comedy to him and he won't try to do whatever you do.

But of course kicking a person when they're down is just so...cool.
