'SNL' legend Tracy Morgan makes unforgettable appearance on latest ManningCast
Should it really be that surprising that "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" alum Tracy Morgan was an instant hit on ESPN’s ManningCast during "Monday Night Football"?
Morgan, the man behind Tracy Jordan, Brian Fellows and Astronaut Jones, joined Peyton and Eli Manning for their broadcast of the uninspired Week 3 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.
Donning a Giants jersey, Morgan brought the laughs during his segment with the Manning brothers. Why did Morgan’s best joke involve Cowboys great Tony Dorsett?
Alongside claiming that former Georgia running back and Republican senator candidate Herschel Walker was his third cousin, he referred to Dorsett as “his biological father,” and “daddy,” which naturally caught the Manning brothers, and, well, Dorsett off-guard.
On top of that, Giants fan Morgan also claimed that he went to high school with Saquon Barkley’s father, asked Peyton Manning what it was like to go up against Giants great Lawrence Taylor and got the name wrong of former Giants running back Joe Morris.
Morgan also threw out a very familiar catchphrase as he celebrated an unnamed quarterback who may or may not have been Giants starter Daniel Jones.
Look, at this point, you know you’re not here for Morgan’s Xs and Os analysis.

Between calling Dorsett his long-lost father and yelling Peyton Manning’s signature “Omaha” call, Morgan’s segments on this week’s ManningCast won’t soon be forgotten.
And, hey, maybe if we’re lucky, the SNL great will let us take a spin in one of his Ferraris.
