Tracy Morgan Is Staying Alive on Netflix; CBS Pulls Doubt After 2 Episodes
Tracy Morgan is making his much-anticipated return to stand-up with Staying Alive, an all-new comedy special exclusively for Netflix, the world's leading Internet TV network. The stand-up special, shot before a packed house at New Jersey's landmark Count Basie Theatre, will launch globally on Netflix Tuesday, May 16, 2017. Tracy Morgan's Staying Alive finds the comedy icon exploring his fresh take on life, career and mortality in the wake of surviving a devastating near-fatal traffic collision in 2014. From coping with a traumatic brain injury and learning to walk again to "falling for" his physical therapist and deciding that maybe getting older isn't such a bad thing, Morgan is back in true form and tackles the most trying time of his life with grace, strength and the jaw-droppingly hilarious point of view fans have grown to love.
