“It seems I’ve caused quite a stir because of a recent photo where it looks like I have a baby boa constrictor between my legs,” he joked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
Morris was an original SNL<\/em> cast member and is also noted for his roles on Martin<\/em> and The Jamie Foxx Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Some of the biggest<\/em> stars in Hollywood turned out for Taraji P. Henson<\/a>‘s Broadway debut, figuratively and literally.<\/p>\n The actress shared an Instagram carousel<\/a> of all the famous friends who came to see Joe Turner’s Come and Gone<\/em><\/a>, but fans were too distracted by the bulge in Garrett Morris<\/a>‘ pants to notice Whoopi Goldberg<\/a>, Angela Bassett<\/a>, and Captain America<\/em> star Anthony Mackie<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the photo that quickly went viral, Henson is posed beside the 89-year-old comedian \u2014 the first Black cast member on Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a> \u2014 as he leans back against his walker, giving the camera an eyeful<\/a>. She deleted the jaw-dropping image, but not before the comments section reacted.<\/p>\n “Unc junior got that pocket change down der,” wrote one person, alluding to Morris’ character, Uncle Junior, on The Jamie Foxx Show<\/em>. “I wasn’t trying to see Stan like that,” cracked another follower referencing his recurring role on Martin<\/em>.<\/p>\n Morris responded to the online chatter with his signature satirical humor.<\/p>\n “It seems I’ve caused quite a stir because of a recent photo where it looks like I have a baby boa constrictor between my legs,” the comedian said into a tiny microphone affixed to a hair pick. “Now, I don’t mind holding up these stereotypes usually given to Black men. But ladies and gentlemen, I’m more than a body. I’m a brain too.”<\/p>\n He’s also an author, and he urged all who were impressed by his manhood to pick up a copy of his forthcoming book, Ain’t That a Bitch<\/em>, “which is what I thought when I saw that picture of me and Taraji Henson,” quipped Morris. “Look, I have been [photographed] with Emmy winners, Oscar winners, Tony winners, and never did I think I would be upstaged by my penis.”<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <\/em><\/strong>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n While he had everyone’s attention, the comedian also used his platform to ask a serious “favor.”<\/p>\n “I want you to vote, okay?” Morris told his followers. “I was here during that Civil Rights Movement. I actually saw Martin Luther King<\/a> preach about us fighting for our rights… vote and buy my book!”<\/p>\n Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
