New York - NBC comedy 30 Rock has mocked one of its own cast members.
The show often finds laughs in real-life events in the show business world it inhabits. Thursday's edition focused on Tracy Morgan, who found himself in real-life hot water last June after making anti-gay remarks during a stand-up appearance in Nashville, Tennessee.
On the 30 Rock episode, Morgan character Tracy Jordan sparked a protest after making a couple of ridiculous gay-oriented jokes during a concert date.
His boss was forced to apologise for him. The Tina Fey character explained to the media he's incapable of hate against any group - he's just an idiot.
In real life, Morgan publicly apologised to gay advocacy groups shortly after his rant.
