“The Last O.G.” is an upcoming comedy series created by Jordan Peele and John Carcieri, and centers on Tray (Tracy Morgan), a recently released ex-con who is shocked to discover just how much the world has changed. While on a quest to acclimate in his beloved city of Brooklyn, he must also reconnect with the family he left behind.

In addition to Morgan, the series stars Tiffany Haddish as Shay, Ryan Gaul as Josh, Cedric the Entertainer as Miniard Mullins, and Allen Maldonado as Cousin Bobby.

The cast spoke passionately about the series and their characters during the TCA Turner Summer Press Tour Presentation at The Beverly Hilton Hotel this past July, in Beverly Hills. EUR/Electronic Urban Report correspondent Ny MaGee was on hand to ask Tracy whether the show will explore any “social themes that affect the black community.”

“No. This isn’t a black show,” Morgan snapped. “This is a show about humanity. This is the show about second chances. This is a show about redemption. We’re not just going black with it like that. I mean, it’s a black cast. There’s black people in it, but this is dealing with humanity. Black people ain’t the only one that live here.”

“Everybody live here,” he continued. “Who are we to say others don’t matter?”

It’s worth noting that at no time did this reporter suggest to the cast that ONLY Black Lives Matter, which made Mr. Morgan’s kumbaya rant somewhat amusing.

“There are white people coming home from prison too,” he contined. “So we didn’t want to deal with that like that. I wanted to deal with humanity. That was my mission.”

In the meantime, here’s to hoping that “EVERYBODY” Tracy is trying to celebrate in this series –especially non-black folks–tune in to help make it a huge success.
