Morgan, 45, was on the road for his “Turn it Funny” stand-up comedy tour. He was booked to perform at a casino in Dover, Delaware, on Friday night and had been due to appear on Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The comedian spent seven years on “Saturday Night Live” before leaving the cast in 2003. He went on to star in the sitcom “30 Rock” for seven seasons, playing an unhinged, reckless comedian named Tracy Jordan in the satire about a network television variety show similar to “SNL.”
A hospital spokeswoman referred queries about Morgan to the actor’s publicist, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
