Tracy Morgan in hot water over disabled jokes

  Entertainment NewsNEW YORK (WABC) -- Tracy Morgan is facing controversy yet again.

The 42-year-old comic is said to have made degrading remarks about disabled people during a show at a comedy club in Manhattan last week.

According to the New York Times, during the show Morgan warned during the audience, "Don't ever mess with women who have retarded kids."

The comedian then went on using another offensive term for a woman with a prosthetic arm.

Earlier this month, another one of Morgan's comedy routines was derailed when he came under fire for making homophobic comments during a show in Nashville. He has since apologized, and also denied he was homophobic.

INTERACTION: Does Tracy Morgan need to apologize again?

An organization that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities called "The Arc", responded to Morgan's comments and said, "Tracy Morgan should apologize immediately. This quote is far too offensive to be excused as comedy, and it is very hurtful to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Mr. Morgan has an incredibly powerful platform from which to fix this, and if he's learned anything in the last few weeks, he can't bomb this apology."
