Tracy Morgan, a star of NBC’s "30 Rock," apparently is attracted to Michelle Obama, as he told George Lopez on his late-night show that the first lady is "a beast," which he clearly meant as a compliment, reports the Los Angeles Times’ Show Tracker blog.

Lopez asked Morgan whether Michelle Obama is his type, to which Morgan responded, "Michelle look like a tall mountain, and I’m gonna climb it just ‘cuz it’s there. Just ‘cuz it’s there. Kilimanjaro!"

It marks at least the second time in recent months that Morgan has made risque comments about a female political figure. As previously reported, TNT issued an apology in January after Morgan said Sarah Palin was "good masturbation material."
