The Huffington Post reports that 30 ROCK star Tracy Morgan was hospitalized for "flu-like symptoms and dehydration" in Denver, Colorado on Saturday. The comedian was forced to cancel his performance at Comedy Works South which was scheduled for that evening. The 43 year old had recently collapsed at the Sundance Film Festival in January. The incident was blamed on "a combination of exhaustion and altitude."

Huffington Post editor Matt Ferner was in the audience of the scheduled comedy show Saturday evening and explained, "The emcee came out and told us that Tracy was feeling sick and wasn't going to come on. The crowd thought it was a joke at first. But it quickly sank in how serious this was when the manager of Comedy Works South came out to tell us that Tracy was hoping to feel well enough to perform for the 10 p.m. show, but that there was no way they were going to let him because he was in such bad shape."

A represtative for Morgan told GossipCop: “He is fine. He had the flu before he left [for the trip].”
