Tracy Morgan hospitalized after collapse at Sundance

snip-

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tracy Morgan was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Sunday. The controversial 30 Rock star reportedly lost consciousness after attending Sunday’s Creative Coalition Spotlight Awards, where he was being honored with the Spotlight Initiative Award. Morgan collapsed after his speech and was taken to Park City Medical Center, where his current condition is unknown. While sources claimed to THR that the actor/comedian, whose film Predisposed was screening at Sundance, was “out of control, yelling and falling onto the ground” during the awards show dinner, a spokeswoman for the hospital stated that no drugs or alcohol were found in his system upon medical evaluation.

He did apologize, but he still offended alot of people with his comments.

I do hope he gets better. He is pretty funny on '30 Rock', which last week they did an episode about the homophobic comments.

I don't want to see him do a Belushi/ Farley.
But the chances are REAL he will.
My thoughts go out to him.
And no, his comedic comments did not warrant or provoke this.

Be well Tracy.
