Tracy Morgan Reveals 40 Pound Weight Gain on Ozempic!
Tracy Morgan admitted that he had gained 40 pounds despite taking Ozempic, on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old comedian appeared on Tuesday’s broadcast of “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” where he spoke about sports, his love life, and his health and wellness journey.
“You look good, bud,” Fallon told Morgan. “You look great. How you staying in shape these days?”
“Well, that’s Ozempic,” Morgan quipped, referring to the type 2 diabetes drug that has been widely used for weight loss, especially among celebs.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum went on to share about his personal experience with the medication.
“I’ve learned to out-eat Ozempic. I out-ate Ozempic. I’ve gained 40 pounds,” Morgan joked during the interview.
Fallon replied — “I’ve never heard of anyone gaining 40.”
Morgan, who did not clarify if he was still taking the drug, commented—“I’m like Magic Johnson. I gained 40 pounds.”
A majority of people who use the fad weight loss shortcut will regain most of the weight they dropped within a year, according to a 2022 study, published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
The “30 Rock” alum first shared that he was using Ozempic to trim down during an August 2023 appearance on “Today with Hoda & Jenna.”
Morgan revealed his weight loss secret after Hoda Kotb commented on the obvious effort it took to achieve his fit appearance.
“No, that’s Ozempic,” he declared. “That’s how this weight got lost… I went and got a prescription and I got Ozempic.”
He went on to explain how and when he used the medication for optimal results, in the candid interview.
“I take Ozempic every Thursday,” Morgan told the ladies, demonstrating how he injected the drug into the stomach.
He joked—“It cuts my appetite in half. Now I only eat half a bag of Doritos.”
Kelly Clarkson recently credited diet and exercise for her stunning weight loss, amid swirling rumors that she had used the medication to trim down.
“I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t,” the singer told People.
The 41-year-old added — ”“I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t. And 90% of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat — sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
Multiple reality stars have confessed to using or trying Semaglutide to drop pesky pounds.
Last summer, “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, Emily Simpson, confessed to using Ozempic and liposuction to jumpstart her journey to better health. New Jersey “Housewives,” Jennifer Fessler and Dolores Catania copped to using the drug in April 2023.
Last April, Bravo exec, Andy Cohen defended his decision to praise various “Housewives” for jumping on the Ozempic train, telling his Radio Andy listeners — “I mean, if Dolores [Catania] shows up looking 15 pounds lighter, I gotta find out how it happened.”
