Los Angeles - 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan is recovering from a kidney transplant.
A statement released on 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 TV comedy 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 show.
