Tracy Morgan's 'masturbation' rant about Palin leaves execs red-faced

New York, Jan 29 (ANI): A racy comment of Tracy Morgan about Sarah Palin on TNT has left executives red-faced.

The '30 Rock' star who appeared on 'Inside the NBA' told Charles Barkley that the former Alaska governor was "good masturbation material."

"Yo, let me tell you something about Sarah Palin. She's good masturbation material. The glasses and all of that...great material," the New York Daily News quoted Morgan as saying.

The cable network issued an apology statement immediately after the show.

"It is unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments," Turner spokesman Jeff Pomeroy told USA Today.

Morgan was invited on the show by analysts Kenny Smith and Barkley in hopes that the brash comedian could settle an argument about who was better looking - co-star Tina Fey or Palin. (ANI)
