Tracy Morgan Says Sarah Palin 'Good Masturbation Material,' TNT Apologizes

“30 Rock” Star Tracy Morgan is known for being a little off his rocker, but at a recent unscripted stop by the “Inside the NBA” desk at Madison Square Garden during the Knicks-Heat pregame, he really kicked it up a notch.

When asked by “Inside the NBA” host Kenny Smith the question “Sarah Palin or Tina Fey?” After a little egging on from Charles Barkley, the actor, works along SNL alum Fey on “30 Rock” said, “"now let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, man, she's good masturbation material. The glasses and all that? Great masturbation material."

Woah. While co-host Charles Barkley may have thought it was funny, TNT execs were not pleased.

Turner spokesman Jeff Pomeroy quickly released a statement to USA Today:

"It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments."

Morgan is currently on hiatus form "30 Rock" after having undergone a successful kidney transplant, so perhaps he was hitting the meds a bit hard.

What do you think? Did Morgan cross the line? Should Kenny Smith pay a price for even asking the question? How stupid were they for handing off the mic to Morgan in the first place?
