Tracy Morgan says he’s gained weight from taking Ozempic.
When Jimmy Fallon told the comedian that he “look[ed] good” and asked how he was “staying in shape” during a new interview that aired Tuesday night, Morgan credited the weight-loss drug.
However, he noted, “I’ve learned to out-eat Ozempic. I out-ate Ozempic. I’ve gained 40 pounds. I’m like Magic Johnson. I gained 40 pounds.”
The actor’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” update came seven months after he first shared his semaglutide prescription.
“It cuts my appetite in half,” the 55-year-old told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the “Today” show in August 2023.
After saying he wasn’t “letting go” of his weekly Ozempic injections, Morgan gave some insight into his exercise regime.
“I get up at 7 every morning, and I’m in the gym at 10,” he explained at the time. “Then I go back to sleep. And that’s my life.”
