Tracy Morgan said he felt culturally isolated on SNL

Damon remembers Eddie Murphy Telling him before he joined the cast that he had to write his own sketches, otherwise “they’ll give you some black people to do, and you won’t like it.”

“Everything Eddie said came true,” Damon said, noting that the writers repeatedly ignored his sketch ideas. Instead, he was asked to perform sketches written for him, as his characters were often rooted in offensive stereotypes.
