Tracy Morgan is recovering after undergoing a successful kidney transplant earlier this month (Dec10).
The 30 Rock star, who suffers from diabetes, will spend the holidays recuperating from the surgery, but his health issue will not keep him away from the cameras for too long - he will only miss two episodes of the hit TV sitcom.
His representative tells GossipCop.com, "Tracy is doing well and taking some much needed time to recover after the surgery. He is looking forward to going back to work after the holidays."
Morgan isn't the only 30 Rock castmember to need a new kidney - his co-star Grizz Chapman underwent similar surgery earlier this year (10).
The actor was back on the big screen earlier this year when he starred in Cop Out and Death at a Funeral.
He has already lent his voice to animation movie Rio, which is due out next year.
