Audience members walk out of Tracy Morgan’s bawdy Carnegie Hall performance. No one knew better than Morgan himself that the crowd got more than they bargained for. At one point Friday night, he addressed shocked ­showgoers, saying, “You want the clean Tracy? Turn on the TV.” “Obama is really changing the White House, because he and Michelle will have the first presidential sex tape out,” he said to a stunned crowd. Morgan did better at his second try on politics, saying he wouldn’t vote for Mayor Bloomberg because all he does is go to Yankee games — a gag that seemed to at least draw a hoot from the crowd. -nydailynews.com
