'I was thinking about pizza': Tracy Morgan explains why he shouted out 'Sal' instead of 'Soul' while presenting at Golden Globes
He's no stranger to live television as an alumni of Saturday Night Live.
But on Sunday, Tracy Morgan delighted Twitter when he mispronounced the name of the winner of the best original score award at the Golden Globes.
Instead of declaring Pixar's animated feature Soul, Morgan instead opened the envelope and gave a shout out to 'Sal'.

The actor and comedian, 52, was among the celebrities who showed up in person to present an award at the Golden Globes.
He attended the ceremony's live show held in the Rainbow Room atop New York's Rockefeller Center which was hosted by Tina Fey.
A simultaneous ceremony took place at the traditional home of the Globes - the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where Amy Poehler served as host.
It's the first time that the Globes were broadcast from two separate coasts and was made necessary due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which kept nominees at home and presenters socially distanced.
