tracy morgan was on SNL for a long time, so there were different phases

he's never been seen as a hack, but he has been known to be just as unstable as his character

Tracy likes to drink, and he likes to drive. His character on the show is 50% Martin Lawrence, 50% himself, but 100% genius.

the whole character is a parody of the "crazy black comedy actor" stock character, which is what makes it so fuckin great

SNL _is_ generally held in contempt (right now, especially) but at the same time it is the premiere network sketch comedy show, so to be on it is still a pretty big deal. Tracy Morgan was on it in the mid 90s, when it was pretty classic, and he had some great roles. He's not really perceived as a hack, or much of anything, as I don't think he's really known at all outside of his SNL roles, since his show lasted for all of 2 seconds.

SNL was classic in the mid '90s? Um, er...

Family Guy is hated in some circles more than others. Like, comedy writers vs. the same hipsters that are supposed to be their audiences. Careful with Family Guy hat, there.

hat=hate

(and I guess they were being careful, what with burying it in a list that was onscreen for 1 second.)

Your first sentence contradicts your second. SNL is beyond classic or dud anymore. It simply Is, like the universe simply Is. Sometimes an actor gets a spinoff movie, sometimes they do not. Sometimes an actor is very funny, sometimes medium funny, sometimes not funny at all, and this has no bearing on how long they stay on the show. It is random. It operates on a principle that the Christian right would describe as "Darwinism".
