Tracy Morgan: Mel Gibson is the New Lil' Wayne

Tracy Morgan is not one to shy away from controversy. And in true comedian style, he's weighing in on this week's biggest headline--the Mel Gibson racial rant.

Tracy was a special guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday night. And instead of bashing Mel, he sort of protected him.

He joked with Jay, "Calling women b**ches and using the N-word ... That ain’t nothing but hip-hop. He stole that concept from Lil’ Wayne.” "I wonder what he's gonna do next? Go to jail," he joked and maybe "get a tear drop," tattoo.
