He is best known for starring in the NBC late-night sketch comedy and variety show (1996–2003), and for his role as Tracy Jordan in the NBC sitcom (2006–2013). He is also well-known for playing Miss Tucker in the 2005 sports comedy film , Percy "P Unit" Pryor in the 2006 comedy film , and for voicing Luiz the bulldog in the Blue Sky's , Felix the camel in the 2017 animated biblical comedy film , and Captain Caveman in the 2020 computer-animated film .

Morgan was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Brooklyn's Marlboro Houses and Tompkins Houses in its Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood. He is the second of five children of a homemaker, Alicia (née Warden), and James Morgan, Jr. IV, a musician who left the family when Morgan was six years old. His father named him Tracy in honor of a platoon mate and friend who shipped off to Vietnam with him and was killed in action days later. The target of bullies as a child, Morgan attended DeWitt Clinton High School. In 1985, at age 17 in his senior year, he learned that his father had contracted HIV from hypodermic needle use. His father died in January 1987, aged 38.
Morgan married his girlfriend Sabina that year and dropped out of high school just four credits short of his diploma to care for his ailing father. Living on welfare, Morgan sold crack cocaine with limited success, but began earning money performing comedy on the streets after his best friend was murdered. He said in 2009: "He would say to me, 'Yo, Tracy, man, you should be doing comedy.' A week later, he was murdered. And that for me, that was like my Vietnam. I had my survival guilt when I started to achieve success. Why I made it out and some guys didn't."
