By Kevin Spak,  Newser Staff

Posted Aug 8, 2009 9:24 AM CDT

(Newser) SNL veteran and 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan filed for divorce from his high school sweetheart yesterday, the New York Daily News reports, making official a longstanding split. Morgan and his wife, Sabina, have been separated for 8 years. “Basically they were divorced without the paperwork,” says one friend. “It seems like he has had a different girlfriend every 5 months or so.”

Documents in the case, including the reason for the split, are sealed. In January Sabina threatened to divorce him over his drinking problem; Morgan has been charged with drunk driving multiple times. The two have been married for 23 years, and have three sons.

Without talent? He won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy series, among numerous other awards. He's the funniest character on a hugely popular primetime show which has managed to win 5 Golden Globes and a bajillion other awards and nominations. I think you're alone in that assessment.

He's hilariously insane. He's not so much playing a "dumb, ghetto, black role" as a total madman that would be funny no matter what color he was.

Tracy Morgan always place the stereotypical dumb, ghetto black roles. He is possibly the worse comedian to come from the Saturday Night Live show. I wonder how he continues to get roles when he so totally without talent.
