Watch This: Tracy Morgan on “7 Minutes in Heaven”

Last week, just for funsies, I caught myself up on every episode of “7 Minutes in Heaven“—it didn’t take too long, actually, since the weekly video series is pretty new. (Recommended: guests Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis.)

Maybe it’s easy to compare the “7 Minutes” web series to “Between Two Ferns“; instead of being caught between two ferns, each guest is trapped in close quarters with the host, SNL writer Mike O’Brien.

The similarities basically end there, though. In most episodes, O’Brien’s guests drink till they’re lit—here’s lookin’ at you, Hoda—and by every episode’s end, O’Brien tries to steal a little kiss. (Actress Patricia Clarkson, more than game, turns the peck into some voracious open-mouth resuscitation.)

So! Now that you’re completely in on the joke, here’s Tracy Morgan!

Things that I learned from this episode of “7 Minutes in Heaven”:

– Tracy Morgan doesn’t give two whiffs about Shakespeare.

– Tracy Morgan’s hypothetical sister is a Scorpio, thank you.

– Tracy Morgan doesn’t eat hay!

– Tracy Morgan looks great in a lady’s wide-brimmed hat!

– Tracy Morgan isn’t scared of escalators.

– Tracy Morgan dispenses great advice. I wish he would phone my mom, too.

– Tracy Morgan wishes it were possible to eat a frisbee.
