Lamorne Morris Launches Substack Comedy And Basketball Newsletter With Humorous Threat Of Legal Action

Actor Lamorne Morris, best known for his role as Winston Bishop in the hit sitcom “New Girl,” has confirmed the launch of his new Substack newsletter focusing on his twin passions: comedy and basketball.

In a recent Instagram post, Morris announced: “It’s true. The rumors are true. I’m launching my Substack to talk comedy and basketball.” The actor, who has built a significant following through his podcast “The Lamorning After,” is expanding his digital presence with this new written platform.

The post featured Morris playfully urging followers to subscribe with a humorous threat: “Subscribe if you love comedy and basketball. Subscribe even if you don’t love comedy and basketball. Or…I’ll sue you for 50M. 25 per cheek.”

The announcement comes with the hashtag #lakersin5, suggesting Morris’s confidence in the Los Angeles Lakers’ performance in their current playoff run, along with custom hashtags for his new venture.

This Substack launch represents the latest addition to Morris’s growing media portfolio. The actor has been actively building his presence beyond television through his podcast, which has featured notable guests from the entertainment world.

Recent episodes of “The Lamorning After” have included guests like Melissa Fumero from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and Harry Jowsey of reality TV fame. In a post promoting Fumero’s appearance, Morris simply described her as “Queen @melissafumero on the pod this week!!!!” showcasing his enthusiasm for bringing fellow comedic actors onto his platform.

Morris’s podcast has become known for its off-the-cuff conversations and humorous takes on pop culture, with episodes that his team describes as “entirely off the rails but also exactly what you’d expect.”

Lamorne Morris rose to fame playing Winston Bishop on Fox’s “New Girl” from 2011 to 2018. His character was known for his increasingly elaborate and often bizarre pranks – a trait celebrated by fans on April Fools’ Day this year with multiple Instagram posts highlighting “prank king Winston Bishop.”

Since his time on “New Girl,” Morris has appeared in films like “Game Night,” “Bloodshot,” and the Hulu series “Woke.” According to his Wikipedia page, Morris started his career as a host on BET and has steadily built his presence in Hollywood through various acting roles.

Beyond acting, Morris has maintained connections with his “New Girl” co-stars. In a recent Instagram post, he shared photos with Max Greenfield, Damon Wayans Jr., and Jake Johnson at a gathering organized by Tess Sanchez (Greenfield’s wife).

Morris’s interest in basketball isn’t new to his followers. He regularly posts about the sport and has been featured in basketball-related content. In one recent post, he’s seen with professional shooting coach Chris Matthews (known as @lethalshooter), demonstrating basketball techniques.

Morris’s love for the Lakers is evident in his announcement post, and his new Substack will likely feature his takes on NBA games, player performances, and team strategies alongside his comedy content.

Based on Morris’s existing content and the announcement, subscribers to his new Substack can likely expect a mix of basketball analysis, comedic takes on current events, and possibly some behind-the-scenes stories from his entertainment career.

Given his podcast’s format, which blends humor with genuine conversations about the entertainment industry, his newsletter may follow a similar approach – offering insights into both the comedy world and basketball scene through his unique perspective.

The link to subscribe to Morris’s new Substack is available in his Instagram bio, with the actor encouraging followers to “Let’s go!” as he embarks on this new creative venture.
