00:00 By the way, you've been working on your body and on your health.
00:03 No, that's Ozempic.
00:06 Tracy Morgan isn't hiding the truth behind his weight loss.
00:10 The comedian appears on Today with Hoda and Jenna on August 14th, sharing the news that
00:16 he's using Ozempic, a popular type 2 diabetes drug that has become a Hollywood trend due
00:24 to the drug's weight loss side effect.
00:26 By the way, you've been working on your body and on your health.
00:30 No, that's Ozempic.
00:31 That's how this weight got lost.
00:32 Are you really on Ozempic?
00:33 Ozempic.
00:34 We ain't got one of those papers you get with your medicine.
00:45 Prescription.
00:46 We ain't got a prescription and I got Ozempic.
00:48 I ain't letting it go.
00:51 When Jenna and Hoda try to clarify, Tracy jokes about how the drug helps curb his cravings.
00:58 Sort of.
00:59 Are you really on Ozempic?
01:00 Yeah.
01:01 Oh, okay.
01:02 I take Ozempic.
01:03 You look great.
01:04 Every Thursday.
01:05 Alright, thank you, Trace.
01:06 Plus my appetite enhanced.
01:07 Wow, well you look good, Trace.
01:08 I only eat half a bag of Doritos.
01:13 The 30 Rock alum also sheds some light on his gym routine.
01:18 I get up at 7 every morning.
01:20 Yeah.
01:21 I go in the gym at 10.
01:22 Yeah.
01:23 And then I go back to sleep.
01:25 Yeah.
01:26 Tracy's health progress has been a long journey following a crash in 2014 in which a Walmart
01:33 truck collided with his limo on a New Jersey highway.
01:37 Tracy's friend, James McNair, was killed.
01:40 Tracy was in a coma for weeks following the accident.
01:44 According to the Washington Post, he also suffered a broken leg, nose, ribs and traumatic
01:49 brain injury.
01:50 In 2021, Tracy opened up to Hoda Kotb about the emotional moment he had visiting the hospital
01:57 where he was treated.
01:59 For me, it was surreal.
02:01 They remember everything.
02:02 I didn't remember anything.
02:03 I had traumatic brain damage, so I didn't remember anything.
02:08 And they would tell me everything that happened.
02:11 And I got to the bed that I recovered in and I just dropped to my knees and started crying
02:16 because everything came before my face-- Jimmy Mac, the truck, my friends that was in the
02:22 car with me.
02:23 All of that stuff came right before me, and it was there.
