Tracy Morgan’s big comedy show at Carnegie Hall on Friday was no werewolf bar mitzvah, as the New York Daily News reports that the 30 Rock star’s material was so filthy that many audience members walked out. The Black Crusaders at work?

Morgan reportedly shocked those in attendance with some of his comments, which included discussing drugs, pornography and calling homosexuality “a choice.” Not even the Obamas were safe from the comedian’s routine.

“Obama is really changing the White House, because he and Michelle will have the first presidential sex tape out,” Morgan told the shocked crowd.

According to the Daily News’ spy, it wasn’t long before audience members began to walk out.

“People seemed to not be laughing at his jokes, but more because they were shocked and appalled with what was coming out of his mouth,” said the source. “There was a continuous flow of people getting up and leaving throughout the show.”

For his part, Morgan was unapologetic for his blue routine, telling those in attendance: “You want the clean Tracy? Turn on the TV.”

Despite the walkouts, Morgan received a standing ovation at the end of his show, and Jane Krakowski, Spike Lee and John Singleton were among those who stayed all the way through.
