I was thinking about this thread with Tracy hosting SNL tonight.
What would have happened if Joan Rivers made that joke?

Since she used to joke she hopes her grandson is gay onstage, so it is hard to swap anyone else's joke into her act and make much sense of how it would fit in with the rest, let alone the reaction.

Well, no, the reaction to Joan Rivers was, "Oh, she's just making jokes. That's what comedians do."

And the difference is, when I saw Tracy Morgan live, I waited for him to tell jokes... it never happened, and then the show ended.

He did a week of shows in SF, and a few co-workers attended different shows, and we all said that would be the last time we would go see him live. It just seemed like an hour of crowd work trying to hook up with every girl near the stage...

I'm sure we laughed, but that's hardly the metric of a good comedian. I've laughed for many comedians I never wanted to see live again.

The camel appearance was hilarious. Tracy was NOT funny. And, very fat!

He should be shot in the face for being fat. Talk about a bow wow. The doctors who performed his liver transplant took one look at him and slapped his mother.

I think my favorite thing was how he still didn't know Jane Krakowski's last name.

I still don't understand why he didn't get the same pass other comedians get.

Because he wasn't known as a stand-up before appearing on TV. People who went to see him live liked him on Saturday Night Live and on 30 Rock went to his shows not knowing him as a stand-up comic. This is an issue many people primarily known for being on TV face in comedy clubs, since they clean up their act for TV or are on scripted shows. I'm sure some people who liked Sanford and Son were surprised when they went to a Redd Foxx show. So, they don't have a stand-up persona established at that point, unlike Joan Rivers, Louis CK, or anyone else.
Louis CK could have done Tracy's routine and Michael Richard's routine (another person not known as a stand-up who got in trouble), and he would have been able to get away with them, because we know his deal is to push boundaries and say outlandish things. Tracy wasn't known to do that by many when he started selling out clubs based on being on 30 Rock.
Whether any of these people did stand-up before becoming famous for being on TV is somewhat irrelevant if they weren't known for it. The majority of people never knew Tracy as a standup before he was on SNL or 30 Rock, so when you go see him in person, you are finally seeing "the real person" not scripted, so when they start in about killing their son if he were gay, there is no context on how to receive that information. Just like if any unknown comic went up and started doing a Louis CK bit on the n-word, he would get booed off the stage and Louis would get cheers.
