Tracy Morgan Show Comes to FXX; 30 Rock Star Stand UpTracy Morgan Returns to Primetime

Tracy Morgan is bringing his standup chops back to primetime in a new show for FXX.

FXX anounced that it orderd a new Tracy Morgan show.

In a huge three-year deal, Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton and their RCG Productions signed up with FX Productions for two more 10-episode seasons of the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and a new half-hour comedy show starring Tracy Morgan.

According to Nick Grand, the  president of original programming for FX Networks and FX Productions, "Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton are three of the most talented comedy writers and producers in our business, not to mention very gifted actors. This deal is a testament to their skill, intelligence and work ethic, which combined to earn them one of the best overall deals in TV. Not bad for three guys who shot a pilot ten years ago for $200 and a few pizzas."

The new Tracy Morgan show will be produced by RCG and Rakhe, who will also be showrunners. The new Tracy Morgan project got a 10-episode commitment from FXX. Tracy Morgan's new show is scheduled premiere on of January 2015.

The project came out of an FX pilot order from Rob Long and Tad Safran called "Death Pact." Tracy Morgan was playing "a formerly lazy, pot-dealing assistant high school coach who returns to his hometown as a decorated war hero."

Details on the Tracy Morgan series pilot order will be announced later.
