Comedian Tracy Morgan has a unique take on Ozempic, the drug many credit for weight loss. Unlike most, he gained weight.
On "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," he revealed a 40-pound gain. "I out-ate Ozempic. I’m like Magic Johnson with 40 pounds more," he joked.
In 2023, Morgan shared his Ozempic use on the "Today" show. "I got a prescription and lost weight. But I'm not letting it go," he stated.
He once said the injections halved his appetite. "Now I only eat half a bag of Doritos," Morgan admitted.
Originally for Type 2 diabetes, Ozempic is now popular for weight loss. Stars like Sharon Osbourne and Oprah Winfrey have discussed using similar drugs.
Winfrey spoke out against weight shaming. "Obesity is a disease, not a willpower issue," she told People. She hailed medical weight management as a breakthrough.
Osbourne shared her struggle with being "too gaunt" after Ozempic use. "Be careful what you wish for," she warned, discussing the dangers of addiction to weight loss.
