The show may be over, but it's not really over for Tracy Morgan.
Last week, the '30 Rock' star's first season of the ratings challenged ended on a high note.
And it's slated to return in the fall.
But for Bronx native Morgan, the media glare surrounding the Tina Fey-helmed series (which also stars Alec Baldwin) is bittersweet.
He's been ordered to wear a device that can detect alcohol consumption through the skin, reports TMZ.com.
The bracelet, called a SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring), was issued by a Los Angeles Superior County Court last weekend to deter Morgan from consuming alcohol.
For 90 days beginning May 25, the device will check Morgan's alcohol levels every 30 minutes. If it determines Morgan has consumed alcohol, his 90 days will begin again; a second offense will result in 30 days in county jail.
The booze bracelet was ordered in conjunction with a DUI conviction and a subsequent probation violation, when he was pulled over for driving erratically last November.
But that's not it.
Morgan, who is the 38-year-old married father of three young men (ages 21, 20, 16), recently had a meltdown during a morning TV show in El Paso, Texas.
"I went to Jaguars ( a local topless club), last night," Morgan said on the ABC affiliate KVIA. "I love the ladies here. Oh, my God! Somebody's going to get pregnant while I'm in town. Two days, watch."
Words CAN NOT explain the out-rage-ous display.
Like his other superstar 'SNL' predecessors Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock, he gained prominence in the local comedy scene before making his big break on the legendary NBC sketch show.
Hope he's literally not following in their footsteps by soon facing paternity drama.

They need to put the bracelet on other entertainers that get in trouble. And it needs to spread to other cities and states maybe we could back on all the DUI'S.

This is the craziest news I have ever heard. What's next a crack patch? Why doesn't Morton Downey Jr. have a cocaine patch? Well I guess black folks are always the first to rock the newest s#@!.

Yeah son is off the meter but if you seen what he's talkin' about at the Jaguar Club in El Paso you would understand that with or without a wife, what he said about the women, was an understatement trust me. But he's a comedian so fall off of him. Men love women who look like they do there straight up. Give the Brothr his space or go see for your self!!
