NEW YORK — TNT has issued an apology after Tracy Morgan made a sexual remark about Sarah Palin on last night's Inside the NBA broadcast.
"It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments," the network said Friday. "We apologize for any embarrassment or offense it may have caused."
During the live show, co-hosts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley coaxed the 30 Rock star into settling an argument between them over who's more attractive: Palin or his boss, Tina Fey, who famous spoofed the former vice presidential candidate on Saturday Night Live.
"Yo, let me tell you something about Sarah Palin," replied Morgan. "She's good masturbation material."
Fellow co-host Ernie Johnson quickly ended the interview after the comment, telling viewers, "I want to thank Tracy Morgan for stopping by."
