Tracy Morgan doesn’t beat around the bush, especially when discussing his weight loss and what he’s doing to get in shape. Recently, during an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, Morgan had no qualms about sharing Ozempic as his secret weapon for his weight loss transformation.
Ozempic has been making its rounds in media lately, mainly due to popular names in Hollywood who credit the drug for sudden weight loss benefits. Created in 2017 for diabetes, this once-weekly injection has been shown to slow digestion, which can lessen food cravings for some, ultimately, leading to a reduction in overall weight.
Tracy Morgan is an actor and comedian commonly known for his roles in TV shows like The Last O.G., the NBC sitcom 30 Rock, and a number of skits on Saturday Night Live which has earned him multiple Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Guest Actor. Of late, the Brooklyn native has been working on his health and wellness.

“No, that’s ozempic. That’s how this weight got lost. Ozempic.”
Hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager seemed shocked at his blatant admission to the use of Ozempic. However, the 54-year-old made it clear that he had no intention of stopping the medication anytime soon and said:
“I went and got a prescription and I got Ozempic. And I ain’t letting it go. I take Ozempic. Every Thursday,” he said.
Tracy Morgan divulges that it has helped him with his appetite which is what led to him dropping weight.
“It cuts my appetite in half, I only eat half a bag of Doritos.”

Instead of using Ozempic, however, the popular actor accomplished his goal courtesy of a strict training and nutrition plan.
