Tracy Morgan's Sarah Palin Comment Draws Apology from TNT

NEW YORK (CBS) TNT is apologizing for a comment actor Tracy Morgan made about former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during a live "Inside the NBA" broadcast Thursday.

The incident happened during a pre-game chat, when a question about Tina Fey versus Sarah Palin led co-host Charles Barkley to ask the "30 Rock" star, "Sarah Palin's good looking, isn't she?"

Morgan replied, "Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, she's good masturbation material."

"It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments," a TNT spokesman said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
