Legendary actor Garrett Morris will celebrate his 87th birthday with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
Morris, who is best known on TV sitcoms such as “Martin” and “The Jamie Foxx Show,” is set to receive the 2,771st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the television category on February 1st, 2024, which happens to be the actor’s 87th birthday. Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, praised Morris for his contributions and expressed her excitement over the newest star to hit the monument.
“Garrett Morris is a true entertainment icon and is ready for Prime Time on the Walk of Fame! He joins other SNL stars, who are Walk of Famers, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. We are so happy to honor him on February 1st, which is his 87th birthday and the 136th birthday of our beloved Hollywood!” Martinez wrote in a statement.
As an original member of “Saturday Night Live,” Morris was nominated for the 1979 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Program. Beyond television and his list of accolades, Morris has helped other comedians and entertainers showcase their talents at his LA Blues & Comedy Club. In December 2023, just before the New Year, Morris took to Instagram in a video to thank his fans who have stuck with him throughout the decades. Now, those lifelong supporters can watch him receive his flowers.
The ceremony will take place at 6411 Hollywood Boulevard at 11:30 am PT on February 1st and stream live on www.walkoffame.com. Speakers include actress Tichina Arnold and director/producer Oz Scott.
