Tracy Morgan Wheeled Off Court After Throwing Up at Basketball Game
Originally appeared on E! Online
Tracy Morgan suffered a health emergency at a recent basketball game.
The 30 Rock alum was wheeled out of Madison Square Garden during the New York Knicks' game against the Miami Heat on March 17. The NBA match was reportedly halted after Morgan, 56, threw up on the court and appeared to be bleeding from his nose, according to Sports Illustrated.
In footage shared on social media, Morgan was seen blotting his face with what appeared to be a towel while being ushered off the court in a wheelchair.
E! News has reached out for his rep for comment but hasn't heard back.
It's not the only health scare the comedian has suffered. Over a decade ago, the Saturday Night Live alum was severely injured in a car accident, which nearly took his life.
"I'm just thanking the Lord that I'm a part of this," Morgan told Matt Rogers at SNL 50 last month, "that I survived that accident and I'm alive to be here for this."

He was diagnosed with a severe brain injury and multiple broken bones after a limo van he was riding in was hit by a Walmart truck, leading to a six-car pile-up in New Jersey in 2014.
"I broke every bone in my face, my ribs. I pulverized my femur," he said in his Netflix special Staying Alive. "I'm from the ghetto and after I came out the coma, I was blind for a week and where I come from, you don't want to be blind for a second. All kinds of s--t started coming up missing in my hospital room."
But Morgan—who shares daughter Maven, 11, with Megan Wollover as well as adult sons Gitrid, Malcolm and Tracy Jr. with ex Sabina Morgan—turned his pain into purpose by sharing his experience in the special.
'This was a bad thing that happened to me," he told People in 2017. "I wanted to tell my story, but I also want to continue my standup career because all the great things that ever happened to me in my life came through standup.'
Prior to his accident, Morgan also received a kidney transplant in 2010 from ex Tanisha Hall, telling E! News the following year, "I'd like to thank Tanisha for donating my kidney to me."

ICE Says TikTok Star Khaby Lame Detained and Told to Leave U.S.
Originally appeared on E! Online Khaby Lame was allegedly told to leave the United States. The TikToker, who is among the world's most followed users on the popular video app, was asked to leave the country after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said he 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' immigration officials told NBC News. The Italian Senegalese creator (full name Seringe Khabane Lame) entered the U.S. on April 30 but was later detained at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas June 6 and granted 'voluntary departure,' according to an ICE spokesperson. Days after entering the country, Lame—who is popular for his wordless, straight-faced parody videos mocking other influencers—attended the 2025 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. While Lame has not responded to NBC News' request for comment, Sharks Celebrities Mgmt.—an agency that represents the 25-year-old—said in a statement to NBC News that the ICE report is 'fake news' and that Lame 'did not visit the USA this month to begin with.'

'He had worked with a few of my friends,' Loudon said in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) June 9. 'They told me that his visa was revoked three years ago.' 'I just called some buddies in the administration,' he continued. 'And I've never seen anything happen so quick.' Since the reported date of Lame's departure from the U.S., the influencer—who is also a goodwill ambassador for the humanitarian aid organization UNICEF—has continued to post on his social media, including a clip from the stands of a Brazilian national soccer team match in São Paulo, Brazil, shared to his Instagram Story June 10.

Tom Cruise's Awkward Answer About Father's Day Sparks Questions About His Relationship With Daughter Suri
Tom Cruise's personal life has been shrouded in mystery, from his dating life to his bond with his kids. Everyone has questions about his relationship with his and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise, and now, more than ever, people want answers. In case you missed it, earlier this week, an E! News journalist asked Tom: 'Father's Day is just around the corner. What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you?' And his response has people talking. More from SheKnows Tom Cruise's Second Act Keeps Getting Derailed by Scientology In a truly awkward turn of events, Tom responded by saying, 'You know…' before trailing off and shaking his head while looking into the distance. He added, 'Just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a good time.' Welp, how vague. You can see the proof for yourself in the video they posted HERE! Now, YouTube users instantly commented on this awkward moment, calling out Tom for his reported estrangement. One user said, 'A simple question about Father's Day and he can't answer it. He has gotten to a point where all he can talk about is movies and his love of movies. What about being a parent, Tom? There was a time when that was important to you. Sad for this man.' 'Wow kudos for the interviewer for finding a way to approach his father controversies, usually his questions are pre screened,' another added. '…I wish more interviewers could confront this sleazy guy about the unethical things surrounding him.' While Holmes and Tom have never publicly commented on whether he is, in fact, estranged from Suri, it's widely reported on, and insiders have even spilled the beans about it. Former leading Scientologist Karen De La Carriere previously told DailyMail that while many think that there are a lot of rules that prohibit Cruise from seeing Suri, it's just one major rule that she believes to be the case. 'Katie was deemed a Suppressive Person and Suri, by extension, a Potential Trouble Source,' she said. Chances are, you've heard about Scientology referring to some outsiders as a 'Suppressive Person,' which basically means someone who does suppressive acts against the Church and is dubbed an enemy for it. A Potential Trouble Source is basically a step below a Suppressive Person, it's basically someone linked to a Suppressive Person who may indicate they'll be an enemt ot the Church as well. This was backed up when DailyMail also asked Cruise's former security detail, Brendan Tighe, about it. 'So long as Suri sides with her mom, there will be no contact with her dad,' he said. 'But what about his two kids with Nicole Kidman (another ex of his who left the Church and became a Suppressive Person)?' Well, the reason he talks to his adopted children, that he shares with ex-wife Kidman, is that they're both Scientologists (with his daughter Bella as a high-ranking one at that). For those who don't know, Tom has three children in total. He and Kidman, with whom he was married to from 1990 to 2001, adopted two children: Isabella Jane 'Bella' Cruise and Connor Antony Cruise. Then, he and his ex-wife Holmes welcomed Suri on April 18, 2006, and they were married from 2006 to of SheKnows Every Single Time Shemar Moore Proved He's the Proudest First-Time Girl Dad The Best Places to Buy Furniture for Teens Online The Most Striking Rare Boy Names in the U.S. Right Now — & the Reason You Haven't Heard Them (Yet)

New Doc Explores How Julia Sweeney's ‘SNL' Favorite Pat Became a Complex Nonbinary Icon
Julia Sweeney's popular Saturday Night Live character Pat gets their plaudits (and some criticism) as a gender non-conforming pioneer in a new clip from the upcoming documentary, We Are Pat, premiering exclusively on Rolling Stone. Sweeney played Pat throughout her run on SNL in the early Nineties and even got to star in a spin-off film, It's Pat. The inscrutability of Pat's androgyny was pushed to comedic extremes, effectively offering prominent, yet thorny representation for gender non-conforming people on television long before the term 'nonbinary' was being widely used. More from Rolling Stone USC's SoCal VoCals Are Pitch Perfect in 'Just Sing' Documentary Trailer See 'SNL' Spoof Mike Myers' Infamous Kanye West Moment in Elevator Sketch 'SNL': Watch Bad Bunny Perform 'NUEVAYoL,' 'PERFuMITO NUEVO' We Are Pat director Ro Haber tells Rolling Stone in an email they 'wanted to make a film about transness that had humor at the heart of it,' and kept coming back to their complicated feelings about Pat. 'Why am I laughing at something that's meant to laugh at me? Why do I love Pat? Is Pat a nonbinary icon or a transphobic trope of yesteryear?' Haber continues. 'In exploring these questions, it was really important that the film embraced a spirit of curiosity and conversation rather than cancel culture and judgment.' The new clip opens with Karam Ann, a professor of TV studies, noting the prescience of Pat and how the relatively new discussion around nonbinary identity and the use of they/them pronouns has 'reanimated Pat from the grave.' Actor and filmmaker River Gallo, who is nonbinary, adds, 'What's interesting to me about being nonbinary, and the definition of nonbinariness, is it's saying you're not these two things. It's not really definable but only by what it isn't. It's interesting thinking of Pat in those ways.' We Are Pat will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, June 8. It's set to feature interviews with an array of queer and trans comedians and writers, including Molly Kearney, Esther Fallick, Abby McEnany, Pink Foxx, and Roz Hernandez. Sweeney also partook in the film, as did her SNL co-star Kevin Nealon. Haber says one of the most profound things they learned while making the film was from Sweeney, who created Pat while grappling with her 'own gendered pressure as a woman trying to make it in the Ninetes boys club of comedy and SNL.' 'Pat grew out of familial and societal expectations of femininity that were placed on Julia during that time, and Pat was something of an escape for her,' Haber says. 'In the film, she says, 'It was actually a joy to be Pat because I got to have a break from having to be a girl too.' That sense of reacting to a gender expectation placed on you felt really relatable to the comics in the film and me.' { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 1, }, pmcCnx: { singleAutoPlay: 'auto' } } }, playerId: "d762a038-c1a2-4e6c-969e-b2f1c9ec6f8a", mediaId: "4665abb0-57e9-4e09-a93a-fa846cda00cb", }).render("connatix_player_4665abb0-57e9-4e09-a93a-fa846cda00cb_2"); }); Best of Rolling Stone The 50 Best 'Saturday Night Live' Characters of All Time Denzel Washington's Movies Ranked, From Worst to Best 70 Greatest Comedies of the 21st Century
