Tracy Morgan is back with new show “The Last O.G.”
“The Last O.G.” is a comedy series co-produced by Morgan and Jordan Peele of Get Out fame. The show will premiere April 3rd on TBS.
According to TBS: The Last O.G. centers on Tray (Morgan), an ex-con shocked to see just how much the world has changed when he is released from prison for on good behavior after a 15-year stint. Returning to his newly gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood, he discovers that his former girlfriend, Shay (played by emerging, breakout star actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish), has married an affable, successful white man (Ryan Gaul) who is helping raise the twins (Taylor Mosby & Dante Hoagland) Tray never knew existed. Wanting nothing more than to connect with his kids, but having neither the money to support them nor himself, Tray falls back on the skills he learned in prison to make ends meet while treading on unfamiliar territory.
In addition, “The Last O.G.” also stars Cedric the Entertainer as the head of the halfway house where Tray is staying, and Allen Maldonado as Tray’s cousin Bobby.
The comedy-centric show doesn’t spare anything as far as we can tell. It’s obvious Morgan and Peele are a good match.
The trailer for “The Last O.G.” can be seen below. Further information regarding the show can be found here.

I’ll admit that even the thought of Improv leaves me scared stiff, so, it was no surprise to me that when I arrived at a special Daddy’s Home 2 promotional class at the Groundling’s theatre, Will Farrell’s alma mater, my mind went wild with all the ways that day could blow up in my face.
