Tracy Morgan was diagnosed with diabetes in 1996 but told Time he didn’t take the disease seriously until he almost lost his foot. Now he takes his insulin every day.

But then again, that’s what he said to Time in 2009. Things may have gotten worse because on December 10, he underwent a kidney transplant.

Tracy’s rep said in a statement, “Tracy is doing well and taking some much needed time to recover after the surgery. He is looking forward to going back to work after the holidays.”

He’ll likely miss two to three episodes of 30 Rock which people are making out to be a big deal. But it’s not. I miss 30 Rock more than that. Every week, actually.

Salma Hayek and her hot rack shot a few scenes for 30 Rock the other day in New York. If you’re not completely asexual, you’ll know why this is newsworthy.
